Swimming legend Grant Hackett gives fans an update on his wife Sharlene’s pregnancy

Grant Hackett is set to welcome his second child with wife Sharlene in August.

And on Sunday, the swimming legend, 42, gave fans an update on the pregnancy by sharing photos of Sharlene’s baby bump on Instagram.

The gold medalist posted family photos of the couple with their three-year-old son Edward and Grant’s twin son, Jagger Emilio, from his first marriage to singer Candice Alley.

“Special day with my special people… can’t wait to meet our baby girl in August and grow our wolf pack,” she captioned the post.

In the picture, Sharlene simply glowed as she showed off her growing bulge in a long pink dress and leather jacket.

She was all smiles as she hugged Edward and Jagger as they posed on the grass.

In another photo, Grant wrapped his arms around his wife as she cradled his tummy and smiled for the camera.

The couple announced that they are expecting their second child together in January.

‘Girl who comes in August. I can not wait to meet you. We are so excited,’ Grant and Sharlene said in a joint post.

The gold medalist and his family live in the exclusive Melbourne suburb of Brighton after moving from his native Gold Coast last year.

Grant and Sharlene shocked fans when they announced that they had tied the knot in a secret, intimate ceremony in Melbourne in December 2020.

In a gushing tribute to his bride, Grant said he couldn’t wait to get married any longer, even though the pandemic ensured the wedding was smaller than the couple expected.

He wrote at length: ‘I feel so blessed to call you my beautiful wife @sharhackett. With a year that has been filled with so much uncertainty, it has been a perfect way to end 2020.

“With COVID-19 continuing to delay our nuptials and the ability to properly plan our wedding, with all of our friends and family in one place, both locally and abroad, Sharlene and I just wanted to say ‘I do!’
