Aussie Olympian’s exciting family news
Olympic gold medalist Tom Slingsby and his wife, The Bachelor’s Helena Sauzier, are expecting their first child.
The couple, who married in February 2023, announced their exciting news with a post to social media, where Slingsby shared a picture from their wedding along with a snap of their ultrasound.
Their year had started on a high, and looks set to end on one too, with Slingsby’s caption declaring that their bundle of joy was due in December.
"Little boy incoming,” his caption read. “So excited for the future with @helenasauzier and our new addition in December."
The wedding picture was a throwback to the happiest day of their lives - and another post from Slingsby, when he shared the news of their nuptials with his followers after at least three years of dating.
The competitive sailor had used his February post to gush about his new wife and their “perfect day”, just a few days after tying the knot aboard the Ghost II superyacht.
His comments were awash with love and celebration from friends, family, and fans - just like his baby announcement.
Loved ones were more than happy to repeat the process, flocking to Slingsby’s comment section to shower their happy messages on the couple - directing them to both via Slingsby, as Sauzier’s account was private.
“Congratulations on the buoy guys!” fitness enthusiast Andrew Pap wrote.
“Ahhhh Stahppp congrats you guys!!” former The Bachelor star Brittany Hockley said.
“Congrats mate,” Aussie yachtsman Jimmy Spithill shared, with near identical sentiments coming from Slingsby’s fellow Olympian Matt Graham.
“Peanut … I love you squishy,” mother-to-be Helena chimed in.
“PEANUT!!!! So so so excited for you and @helenasauzier! Love you guys so much xx,” a friend wrote.
“Congratulations, so glad to hear the Slingsby lineage will continue!!” one supporter gushed.
“Awe how exciting. Wonderful news. Congratulations to you both,” another said.
One had high hopes for the pair, that it was “simply gorgeous news”, and telling them “you’ll both make such great parents!”
“Gorgeous news! It will be the wildest ride you have ever been on!” another revealed. “May the lead up to your little man’s arrival and beyond be smooth sailing.”
Meanwhile, sports broadcaster Kaylee Hartung had just one question for the happy couple, “will you name him Montell? Or Jordan? Congratulations!!”
