Shane Warne’s Son Jackson Reveals Marriage and Baby Plans With Partner

Jackson Warne has opened up about his hopes of marrying his long-term partner, Kiah Broadsmith, raising a family and eventually relocating to Queensland’s Gold Coast.

The son of the late Australian cricket legend Shane Warne has been dating social media personality Kiah, 25, for more than five years. Jackson says their relationship is stronger than ever, and the couple have already spoken about the future they want to build together.

“I think if we got married, we would be planting a flag here, having some kids here! I can see us moving to the Gold Coast,” Jackson told Daily Mail.

He also credited Kiah with standing by him through both the happiest moments and the most difficult periods of his life, including the death of his father in 2022.

“She’s always by my side, lives with me, we’ve been together for over five years, she picks up all the little bits and pieces.”

Jackson made the comments as his older sister Brooke prepares to marry her fiancé, Alex Heath. However, he joked that his own wedding is still some way off.

Jackson said his relationship with social media star Kiah, 25, is stronger than ever after more than five years together, with the couple already discussing their future.

“I think the wedding’s a long, long time away. Hopefully I have a long mullet by then!” he said.

While marriage and children are part of Jackson’s long-term plans, he is also pursuing a personal journey that links him to his late father in another way.

He has joined forces with Advanced Hair Studio, the company Shane represented for almost 20 years, after choosing to address his own experience with hair loss.

Jackson said Kiah was the first to notice that his hair was beginning to thin, prompting him to take action and begin the new partnership.

According to Jackson, Kiah urged him to deal with the issue before it started to undermine his confidence.

“Kiah was one of the first people to be like, ‘Let’s get on top of it now’ after noticing my hair was thinning, because she’d probably seen that I wasn’t always the happiest person in photos,” he said.

“She’s been able to see that I’ve been a little bit self-conscious!”

Jackson said his hair had been naturally thick during his younger years, and recalled Shane joking that he was unlikely to go bald.

How important is it for children to follow in their famous parents’ footsteps or create their own path?

“Growing up, I always had naturally long, thick hair. Dad used to joke about me not going bald, saying, ‘You’ll be fine, Jacko, you’ll be fine,’” he said.

But after Shane passed away, Jackson began to notice his hair becoming thinner, which he attributed to a combination of genes and lifestyle.

‘As I’ve gotten older and after he passed, I just noticed it was getting a bit thinner. I was losing it because of a combination of genetics and stress. I thought it doesn’t matter if I’m 26 or 27, I need to take action,’ he said.

For Jackson, the partnership is about more than just his appearance, but also an opportunity to honour his father’s legacy while encouraging other young men to feel comfortable talking about hair loss.

‘I just feel like everything I do, no matter what it is, I’ll always try and honour Dad’s legacy, his memory. And that’s why, when I wanted to start taking action on hair loss or hair treatment, AHS was the perfect place to go to,’ he said.

‘It ties in nicely with dad being the face of them for years. If I can carry on his legacy, but doing it in a new, cool way and try and make it more normal for people my age to start dealing with it before it’s too late, that’s also a bonus.’

Jackson is the middle child of the late cricket legend, who died while on holiday in Thailand in March 2022.

He and his sisters Brooke and Summer have continued to honour their father’s memory in the years since his death, with Jackson stepping into a temporary role as a cricket commentator for Sky Sports in London earlier this year.
