Taking to Instagram, Sam revealed that her family was set to expand with a cute clip.
The video showed Sam hurriedly dusting off and setting up a pram and a baby capsule on the back deck.
‘Time to dust off the baby gear,’ the sports star wrote over the exciting vision.
Captioning the clip, Sam confirmed the news, revealing that this time it was her turn to carry the precious cargo.
‘We’re so excited for the new addition to our family,’ she wrote.

Liz gave birth to Genevieve in 2020.
The tennis player announced at the time that her girlfriend Liz had given birth to a baby girl on 16 June 2020, sharing the news in a doting Instagram post.
Sam had gushed about her joy at becoming a mother and how the coronavirus pandemic had been a blessing in disguise for her young family.
The Australian Grand Slam winner said motherhood has been ‘absolutely amazing’.
‘Even the tougher times don’t seem that bad when you just look at her little face and you just want to cuddle her and hold her all day long. It’s absolutely incredible,’ Sam said.
But she admitted she was still adjusting to becoming a mum and all the craziness that comes with it.
‘It still seems a little bit weird to say she’s my daughter, but I’ll get used to that. It’s absolutely amazing,’ she said at the time.

As she battled through the learning process and sleepless nights, she said she felt fortunate to have been blessed with little Evie.
Sam is the only Australian woman since the legendary Evonne Goolagong Cawley, more than half a century ago, to claim major titles in singles, doubles and mixed doubles – all forms of the professional game.
Her on-court career came to an emotional end in 2023 following a first-round Australian Open mixed doubles loss with Matthew Ebden.
She won the Australian Open women’s doubles in 2019 with Zhang Shuai, as well as the mixed title at Melbourne Park way back in 2005 with countryman Scott Draper.
The 2011 US Open singles champion also claimed Grand Slam women’s doubles titles at the 2006 French Open and at Flushing Meadows in 2005 and 2021, and spent 61 weeks atop the doubles rankings during her career.
