Tony Abbott’s daughter Frances welcomes second child with husband Sam on a YOGA MAT and reveals her adorable name
Frances Loch, the daughter of former Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott, has welcomed her second child with her husband Sam, a baby girl named Romona.
The 32-year-old shared the exciting news on Instagram on Sunday, revealing that she gave birth on a yoga mat at home.
‘Romona. Born at home, on my yoga mat. “I am in complete awe of birth and the human body,” she announced alongside a gallery of black-and-white photos of the birth.
“Grateful for my baby daddy and best friend @samloch and my incredible birth team,” she continued.
Frances announced her pregnancy news on Instagram in December.

She posted a photo showing off her growing baby bump in a black crop top while carrying the couple’s son, Ernest.
“Grateful to raise our babies and excited to make memories here. Another bubba Loch joining the party in 2024,” she wrote.
Frances and Sam, 40, welcomed their son Ernest into the world in 2021.
The couple tied the knot in a surprise wedding ceremony on Valentine’s Day 2018, just three months after she met the bodybuilder in November 2017 – and got engaged two weeks later.
“Two weeks was all it took for me to know that forever with you was a freaking good idea,” she wrote in an Instagram post at the time of their shocking engagement.
Frances said the proposal happened in the kitchen when Sam, a former Olympic rower, popped the question while she was putting peas in the freezer.
‘Romona. Born at home, on my yoga mat. “I am in complete awe of birth and the human body,” she announced alongside a gallery of black-and-white photos of the birth.
During the proposal, Sam had a bottle of champagne in his hands and cleverly convinced her to ask him why.
When she did, he replied that he had brought it to drink after asking her to marry him.
That was two weeks after they first met, and the couple waited another two weeks before telling the world about their whirlwind romance.
“Grateful for my baby daddy and best friend @samloch and my incredible birth team,” she continued
Former Prime Minister Tony Abbott also congratulated the couple at the time, tweeting: ‘Really excited by the news of Francie and Sam’s engagement. We are very proud of her and the Abbotts look forward to welcoming Sam to the family.”
Despite concerns that the couple was moving too fast, Frances previously revealed that her family, including her father, were very supportive of their engagement.
The couple legally married in February 2018, but waited until April to celebrate with their loved ones in Sydney’s exclusive Palm Beach.
