Gary Ablett Jr. and his wife Jordan have shared an update about 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 Herald Sun this week.
“When I think about this year, I just think about three kids, and they're very young, a lot of family time.”
Jordan announced the happy news of Ezra's birth in a post back in July, along with a precious picture of Gary holding the newborn.

“Another treasured boy!” she captioned the picture.
Gary and Jordan also celebrated their son Levi's fifth birthday this week.
On Monday, the couple shared a series of sweet pictures of their little one enjoying a day at the beach to mark the occasion.

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 heartache 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 when they learned the illness was “life-threatening.”
“I just remember sitting with Gaz at that meeting and when they said it, I completely broke down,” she said.

After visiting a number of pediatricians, Jordan said it was the Geelong Football Club team doctor who finally put her in touch with the right person.
She said the new pediatrician “got the ball rolling” and after months of concerns, the couple, who married in 2016, finally had some answers.
Jordan said she and Gary first became concerned when they noticed 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 if anyone asked about their son.
