Gary also shared a lengthy paragraph about the child he lost with ex-wife Amie, who died shortly after birth.
The child, a daughter named Willow, had a fatal neural tube defect called anencephaly, for which there is no cure.
“I want to take a moment to say thank you to those who are viewing this post with heartbreak,” Gary wrote.
“A feeling I know all too well.” “When you feel like the whole world is getting pregnant and you have unimaginable grief over the loss of your own, that’s the hardest post to watch,” continued he continued.

The soccer star went public with Geelong physiotherapist Madi in 2021 and in December 2022 the happy couple officially tied the knot
“I just want to say to everyone who has known this feeling or is feeling it now: Please realize that you are not alone.” I hear you, I see you, I feel you. “We’re 1 of 4.”
Rohan and his ex-wife Amie were high school sweethearts who were married for four years before separating in 2020.

In 2021, Amie said her marriage’s failure was worse than losing Willow.
“The days after my marriage fell apart were some of the toughest days of my life, tougher than when we lost Willow,” Amie told the Move Your Mind podcast at the time.
“But I still got up every day and faced what the day brought.”
