Homosexual couple in Australian cricket give birth to baby boy

Rachel Haynes, Australian women’s cricketer and vice-captain of the team, shares the joy of giving birth to a baby boy amid frustration at not being able to play in the lone cricket Test against India. Rachel Haynes, who made headlines for her same-sex marriage, and Australian star life partner Lee Polton gave birth yesterday. Haynes wrote on social media that the baby was named Hugo Polton Haynes.

Haynes, who was part of the Australian team for the Pink Ball Test against India, suffered a hamstring injury during the ODI series. Haynes returned to Sydney with the assurance that he would not be able to play due to injury. It was after this that Haynes’ partner Lee Polton gave birth to the baby.

The baby was born last August to Australian pace bowler Megan Schutz and her partner Jess Holioke, who made history in international cricket through same-sex marriage. Megan Schutz and Jess were married in March 2019. Amy Satterthwaite and Lee Tahoo, a gay couple in New Zealand cricket, also shared the good news of the baby’s birth on social media. The couple gave birth on January 13. The couple’s Lee Tahoo revealed the birth of the baby on Instagram.
