Former tennis world No. 1 Ash Barty has melted hearts around the globe after sharing the first glimpse of her newborn baby girl in an intimate family photo.
The 28-year-old Aussie champion, who retired from professional tennis in 2022, posted a touching image on social media showing her cradling her daughter alongside husband Garry Kissick. The post, captioned “Our little sunshine,” shows the couple smiling warmly as their baby, wrapped in a soft pink blanket, rests peacefully in her mother’s arms.
Fans and fellow athletes flooded the comments with love and congratulations, with many noting how serene and joyful Barty looked in her new role as a mum.
Known for fiercely protecting her privacy, Barty’s decision to share this personal moment marks a rare glimpse into her family life. The couple, who quietly tied the knot in a private ceremony last year, had kept news of the pregnancy largely under wraps.
While there’s no word yet on the baby’s name, Barty’s gesture has already captured the hearts of fans worldwide—proof that her greatest joy may have come not on the court, but in her own home.
