AFL WAG Jesinta Franklin, 33, revealed her growing baby bump for the first time at the Melbourne International Film Festival on Thursday. The model, expecting her third child with husband Lance “Buddy” Franklin, stunned in a strapless pale blue silk gown that elegantly highlighted her pregnancy. She accessorized with ruby-red heels, matching lipstick, and a silver necklace, completing the look with a retro brunette bob.

Jesinta recently shared her quirky pregnancy craving on social media: baked beans straight from the tin. “Obsessed with baked beans right now,” she posted alongside a photo of a half-eaten tin, adding laughing and pregnancy emojis.
The couple announced the pregnancy in June via an emotional Instagram video. The clip showed Jesinta’s silhouette cradling her bump while children Tullulah, 5, and Rocky, 4, played nearby. In one sweet moment, Rocky kissed her belly. “Our hearts are full,” Jesinta wrote, acknowledging those struggling with infertility. “My heart is with you, always.”

She later shared a candid selfie of herself resting with Buddy, revealing she’d been bed-bound for weeks due to pregnancy fatigue. “Finally succumbed to medication, and it’s been game-changing,” she admitted. The pair plan to keep the baby’s gender a surprise, unlike with their first two children.
Jesinta and Buddy, who married in 2016, expressed gratitude for their growing family. “Life works in mysterious ways,” she wrote. “Lulu and Rocky can’t wait to meet their baby.”
