“I feel good and I'm just so grateful for this trip.” Just to keep things interesting (I'm due), right during football season! A little baby bomber!' Grace added.
Darcy married his long-term partner Grace in a romantic ceremony in Geelong, Victoria, in January last year.
The footballer and his beautiful bride exchanged vows at the Mt Duneed Estate in Waurn Ponds surrounded by family and friends.
In a series of photos shared on Instagram, Grace looked stunning in a silk wedding dress with a sweetheart neckline and a slit at the side.

After the ceremony, the newlyweds celebrated the whole night with their 197 guests.
Grace told the Herald Sun ahead of the big day: “We've been together for eight years and couldn't be more ready to start this next chapter.”
“We see it as a big party with all of our favorite people,” she added.
“I feel the anticipation of walking down the aisle, but I know I'm at my dad's side and as soon as I see Darcy, I'll be thrilled.”

“We're saying our personal vows to each other, which I'm looking forward to.” “Hearing what Darcy has to say will undoubtedly make me emotional.”
The couple got engaged in September 2022 while vacationing in Fiji.
“I can’t wait to be your wife!” Best day of my life for sure. Forever with you by my side! I love you more,” Grace wrote on Instagram at the time.
