Ashleigh Barty has quietly entered a new and joyful chapter of her life. In June 2025, the former world No. 1 tennis star and her husband, Garry Kissick, welcomed their second child, a daughter named Jordan, expanding their young family just two years after the birth of their son, Hayden.
True to her nature, Barty shared the news without fanfare, choosing a simple announcement rather than a high-profile interview. The understated reveal reflected the values that defined her career and retirement alike: balance, privacy, and authenticity. While the name “Jordan” immediately sparked widespread curiosity and online discussion, Barty has not publicly linked the name to any dramatic backstory or celebrity influence.
What is known is that Barty has long spoken about the importance of perspective during her career — particularly during periods when she stepped away from tennis to protect her mental and emotional well-being. Her return to the sport, which eventually led to Wimbledon and Australian Open glory, was guided by personal clarity rather than external pressure.
The choice of a gender-neutral name like Jordan aligns with the thoughtful, modern approach Barty and Kissick have taken toward family life. However, any claims that the name honors a famous figure or a private message that “saved her career” remain unconfirmed and unsupported by credible sources.
Now fully retired from professional tennis, Barty appears focused on motherhood, community work, and life beyond the court. With Hayden and baby Jordan, she continues to build a legacy defined not just by Grand Slam titles, but by calm purpose and grounded decisions — on her own terms.
