Jesinta Franklin shows off her baby bump in a bikini as she prepares to give birth to her second child

She’s expecting her second child with Sydney Swans star Lance ‘Buddy’ Franklin.

And a heavily pregnant Jesinta Franklin has shared a gorgeous photograph with her growing baby bump on display.

On Thursday, the 33-year-old posted the black-and-white picture of herself in a monochrome Seafolly bikini, which she teamed with a long-sleeved linen shirt.

Baby joy: Jesinta Franklin has shared a gorgeous photograph with her growing baby bump on display

‘Earlier in the week, soaking up the sunshine. An afternoon at the beach with my parents,’ she wrote alongside a pregnant woman and baby emoji.

In the picture, Jesinta appears to be beaming, with a smile from ear-to-ear in full view.

She accessorised her laidback look with a wide-brimmed hat, minimal jewellery and oversized sunglasses. 

Earlier this month, the beauty also showcased her blossoming baby belly in a mirror selfie via Instagram, while wearing a black crop top and matching leggings.

The 5ft9in stunner completed the look with an unbuttoned white blouse.  

Minutes later, she shared an amusing text interaction with her athlete husband of five years, as he looked after their one-year-old daughter Tullulah at home.

During the exchange, the key forward texted Jesinta, who was out at the time, ‘Think you need to hurry.’ His model wife replied with a poo emoji, to which Buddy replied, ‘Yep’.

Jesinta captioned the post, ‘Lolllllll. Dad does not do [pooey] nappies’.  

The model welcomed daughter Tullulah in February last year with her husband of five years, Buddy. 

Weeks away: 'We are five or six weeks away from having our second. I am really excited about that and can't wait to become a father for the second time,' Buddy said recently

In an interview with the Herald Sun earlier this month, Buddy, 34, confirmed that Jesinta was just weeks away from giving birth to their second child.  

‘We are five or six weeks away from having our second. I am really excited about that and can’t wait to become a father for the second time,’ he said.

He added: ‘Being a father has been the best thing for me. I am loving every minute of it and I wouldn’t have it any other way.’
