Emma and Nathan Lyon announced in August that they were expecting their second child.
The pregnant cricket WAG was all smiles when she welcomed her husband home at Sydney Airport on Tuesday, joined by their daughter. Nathan had returned after Australia’s defeat to South Africa in the Test series.
The 30-year-old real estate agent highlighted her growing baby bump in a grey T-shirt teamed with relaxed tracksuit pants.
She elevated the laid-back look with a diamond tennis bracelet and a Panthère de Cartier gold-and-steel watch valued at $17,400.
With minimal makeup and her blonde hair pulled into a ponytail, Emma appeared to embrace her natural pregnancy glow.
She marked Nathan’s arrival with ‘Welcome Back’ balloons, while their daughter eagerly ran into his arms and presented him with a sweet homemade card.

The couple had given no public indication that Emma was expecting before their daughter’s birth, successfully keeping the pregnancy private from the public.
While she attended the 2023 Ashes tour in the United Kingdom, Emma carefully edited photos she posted on her Instagram to avoid any shots that would give away her pregnancy.
She also made sure to wear an overcoat to conceal any tell-tale signs when snapped by paparazzi.
The couple have yet to reveal their daughter’s name.
Emma and Nathan tied the knot in a romantic ceremony in July 2022 after five years together.
The couple’s relationship began in scandalous circumstances when they were caught kissing in Perth in late 2017 while Nathan was still with ex-Mel Waring.
The exes share two daughters, Harper and Milla.
Mel detailed their heartbreaking split in a post on her blog, Life of Lyons, in March 2018.

‘I didn’t ask for this, this wasn’t the way my life was supposed to be. He was my forever, he was my whole world,’ she wrote.
‘Until the very end I was 100 per cent devoted to our life and I loved every part of him and our world. This was like a bomb, it went off from behind.’
‘I had to deal with [it] in a very public, humiliating and confronting way. A part of me died.’
