Ash Barty shows her fans the first pic of her newborn baby girl with her big brother
Australian tennis legend Ash Barty has delighted fans by sharing the first photo of her newborn daughter, Jordan, alongside her son Hayden, who recently celebrated his second birthday. The heartwarming image, posted on Instagram on July 2, 2025, captured the siblings together, marking a joyous family milestone. Barty, 29, and her husband, golfer Garry Kissick, welcomed Jordan on June 16, 2025, expanding their family to four. The photo, accompanied by a caption celebrating Hayden’s birthday, showcased the couple’s pride in their growing family, with Jordan dressed in an adorable onesie and Hayden embracing his new role as big brother.
Barty, a three-time Grand Slam champion, announced Jordan’s birth with a black-and-white photo on Instagram, writing, “Welcome to the world, Jordan. You are loved unconditionally and we are so grateful to have you in our arms, gorgeous girl.” The post, which featured Jordan yawning in a onesie emblazoned with “Embrace your weird,” drew an outpouring of congratulations from fans and fellow athletes, including Casey Dellacqua and Sam Stosur. Barty had previously shared her second pregnancy on Christmas Day 2024, with a photo of Hayden in a T-shirt reading “I’m going to be a big brother,” captioned, “Merry Christmas from our growing family to yours!”[](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/othersports/article-14866727/Ash-Barty-new-photo-newborn-baby-girl-big-brother-birthday-Jordan-Hayden-family.html)[](https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-06-16/ash-barty-announces-second-child-daughter-jordan/105421924)
Reflecting on motherhood, Barty told *The Herald Sun* that raising Hayden, born July 3, 2023, has been “the best and hardest thing I’ve ever done,” admitting she was “terrified” yet excited for the “chaos” of two young children. “As an athlete, I used to be the most meticulous, organised person, and now it’s absolute carnage,” she said, embracing the unpredictability of parenting. Since retiring from tennis in March 2022 after her Australian Open victory, Barty has focused on family and new ventures, including children’s books and mentoring young players like Olivia Gadecki.
The photo of Jordan and Hayden underscores Barty’s joy in her post-tennis life. After her 2019 French Open, 2021 Wimbledon, and 2022 Australian Open triumphs, she stepped away at the peak of her career, ranked world No. 1. Married to Kissick since July 2022, Barty has kept her family life private but shares glimpses that resonate with fans, like Hayden’s love for Liverpool FC and sports-inspired outfits. As she navigates motherhood, Barty’s latest post has sparked widespread warmth, with fans on X calling the sibling moment “adorable” and celebrating her new chapter.
