AFL player and partner welcome their third child almost a year on from their high-profile split

AFL player Bobby Hill and his partner Georgia Devlin have announced the birth of their daughter, almost a year after their high-profile split. 

Sharing the news on social media, Devlin introduced their "perfect little girl" to the world, alongside some beautiful snaps if their new arrival with her two brothers, Bobby Junior and Malakai. 

"Hazel Hill?my perfect little girl," read the caption. 

The baby joy for the couple comes as he continues his campaign to return to the field, after taking personal leave from the Collingwood Magpies in the off-season. 

Hill and Devlin split in July 2025, but just months after that happened it was revealed she was pregnant with their third. 

Devlin announced she was pregnant just before Christmas, sharing the news alongside a dump of photos with her and the boys decorating a Christmas tree.

There was no mention of Hill in the post.

The couple have seemingly gotten back together, with Magpies coach Craig McRae confirming Hill would be granted personal leave to be with Devlin ahead of the birth earlier this month. 

"Bobby's partner is due, she's due this weekend, he's unlikely to play," McRae said.

"I am not sure if she's going into labour, but he's not here today, she's got a bit going on.

"Again, we wish them well and see how that goes in the next couple of days."

The news Hill wasn't going to play came just weeks after he returned to the VFL, which was a big step forward for the athlete, who only came back to the club in March. Before his return he had been training in private. 

Hill has not played since round 21 last year, the club granted him personal leave following the breakdown of his relationship with Devlin. 

At the time she moved back to Perth with their two sons. 

Shortly after, Hill shared an emotional post about missing his kids, which marked the first public sign that they were having trouble in their relationship. 

"Gonna miss you guys. Dad loves yous," he wrote alongside a photo of him and the boys. 

While neither Devlin or Hill commented directly on the split at the time, their social media accounts spoke volumes. 

Hill's feed had gone quiet, and he removed almost all photos of his partner and their two sons. 

Speculation they had split was fuelled further when the couple unfollowed each other on Instagram. All tagged photos of each other also disappeared. 

At this time, neither Hill or Devlin follow each other, and he has not shared a post on Instagram since June 2025. 

Hill is also not linked to the post announcing Hazel's birth, and has not posted the news himself on his page.
