This year, Father’s Day has special significance for rugby legend Benji Marshall, who’s thrilled to announce he and wife Zoe are expecting their first baby.
Sharing their exciting news exclusively with Woman’s Day, the happy couple say becoming parents at long last is a dream come true.
“I’ve always believed that I was put on this earth to have a family,” says Brisbane Bronco Benji, 32. “I’ve wanted to be a dad forever.”
The couple’s miracle pregnancy puts an end to their long battle with fertility, and now The Marshalls can focus on being the best parents to their precious little bundle, who is due in February next year.
