West Coast Eagles star Beau Waters welcomes third child and reveals the newborn's sweet name: 'God help me'

Beau Waters has welcomed his third child. 

The former West Coast Eagles player and his wife, Belle, announced the birth of their daughter in a sweet Instagram post this week. 

'God help me! Lila Rose 02.04.26,' the 40-year-old wrote alongside a photo of the newborn in her crib. 

The post was inundated with well-wishes, including from Ash Carey, who wrote: 'Congratulations!' 

Frank Agostino chimed in: 'Beautiful mate, congrats,' while Adam Nicolas commented, 'Beautiful. Congrats team!'

Beau already has two older children, sons Elijah and Levi.

The former footballer and his wife Belle married in a picturesque countryside ceremony in 2021. 

It follows more good news from another former West Coast star, Mitch Brown. 

In March, Mitch revealed he and partner Lou Keck are expecting their first child together. 

The couple made the news official on Instagram, posting a short clip of them embracing and Brown kissing her baby bump as Keck showed off her positive pregnancy test.

The Eagles premiership winner captioned the post 'something exciting coming October 2026' with a white love-heart emoji.

Many of their followers wished them all the best online, with model Olivia Molly Rogers writing, 'Omg yay! Congratulations!' 

Brown – who made history as the first openly bisexual AFL player in August last year – already has two sons with his ex-wife, former professional netballer Shae Bolton-Brown.

They separated after 16 years of marriage but remain close.

Brown, 37, made the landmark announcement about his sexuality with the simple but historic words, 'I played in the AFL for 10 years for the West Coast Eagles and I'm a bisexual man.'

The former defender, who played 96 games for the club from 2007 to 2016, decided to come out just after the league was slammed for its handling of yet another instance of a player using a homophobic slur during a match, with Crows star Izak Rankine banned for four weeks as a result late last season.

He told The Daily Aus that the 'hypermasculinity' in AFL teams made bringing up his true self impossible.

'In the locker room and in the spas, the chats were all geared around "Who did everyone pick up on the weekend?" Or, you know, "she's pretty hot",' Brown said.

'It was never once an opportunity to speak openly or explore your feelings or questions in a safe way.' 

Shortly after his big reveal, Bolton-Brown said she 'couldn't be prouder' of his historic move.
