This will be the first child for the couple, who tied the knot in Melbourne in November 2023. 

The Richmond player and his bride exchanged vows in front of 150 family and friends, including the footballer's teammates.

Olivia stunned in a bespoke wedding gown with intricate beading and a full tulle skirt from Sydney designer Kyha Studios. 

The gown, with semi-sheer panels and glistening details, took 'many months to make' the brand's official account said.   

The clothing and jewellery designer changed into a second bespoke dress, a slinky white satin number, from the same brand for the reception.

Tom was dapper in a classic black tuxedo that was tailored perfectly to his athletic form. 

The couple mingled with their guests at an outdoor reception before sitting down at tables adorned with newspapers that read 'Mr and Mrs Lynch'. 

'We're really excited now, we had the buck's and hen's over the weekend,' Olivia told the Herald Sun ahead of the big day.

'I'll wear two bespoke gowns by Kyha Studios. I saw them for the first time last week – Mum and I were crying' she added.

Tom proposed to his longtime partner by going down on bended knee at their local dog park in Melbourne in December 2022.

Olivia shared the exciting news to social media with a gallery of loved-up photos to commemorate the occasion, with his ladylove in clear shock at her sparkling diamond ring. 

She captioned the images: '7.20am yesterday morning at the dog park, never been more shocked in my life.' 

Olivia and Tom are understood to have started dating in 2014.
