Gary Ablett Jr. and his wife Jordan are finally sharing important details about their newborn son, six months after his birth
Gary Ablett Jr. and his wife Jordan shared an update on their newborn son, six months after announcing his birth.
The AFL star has revealed that their son, who they welcomed in July, is called Ezra (Ez for short).
“We're in a really good place,” the Geelong Cats star told the BBC Herald Sun this week.
“When I think about this year, all I think about is three kids and they're still very young, lots of family time.”
Jordan announced the happy news of Ezra's birth in a post in July, alongside a precious image of Gary holding the newborn.

The lovebirds also share a daughter named Grace, who is two years old.
In an interview with The Significant Others podcast in March 2021, Jordan spoke about the family's heartbreak after Levi was diagnosed with a degenerative disease.
She said it took a long time for her son to be diagnosed with the unspecified illness, and described the devastation she and Gary felt after learning the disease was “life-threatening.”
“I remember sitting in that meeting with Gaz and when they said it, I remember completely breaking down,” she said.

After visiting a number of paediatricians, Jordan said it was the Geelong Football Club team doctor who finally put them in touch with the right person.
She said the new pediatrician “got the ball rolling,” and after months of worry, the couple, who married in 2016, finally had answers.
Jordan said she and Gary first became concerned after noticing Levi wasn't reaching the same milestones as other children his age.
They decided to make the little boy's condition public because they didn't want to lie when people asked about their son.
