💫👶 A New Magpie in the Nest! Collingwood Star Brody Mihocek and Partner Polly Rose Celebrate the Arrival of Their Baby Boy!
A wave of joy has swept through the Collingwood Football Club as one of their most beloved players, Brody Mihocek, and his partner Polly Rose have officially welcomed a beautiful baby boy into the world. The Magpie forward, known for his grit, determination, and consistency on the field, is now celebrating a brand-new chapter off it—fatherhood.
The news was shared on social media earlier today, where Mihocek and Rose posted a heart-warming photo of their newborn cradled gently in their arms. The post, captioned simply with “Our hearts are full 💙,” quickly went viral among Collingwood supporters and AFL fans across Australia. Messages of love and congratulations poured in from teammates, club officials, and supporters who have followed the couple’s journey for years.
For Mihocek, who has built his reputation as one of Collingwood’s hardest workers, this moment marks a deeply personal milestone. From the roar of the MCG to the quiet joy of holding his son for the first time, it’s a transition that has moved the 31-year-old to tears, according to those close to him.
“Brody has always been one of the most grounded blokes you’ll meet,” said one teammate. “He gives his all every week, and now he’s channeling that same energy and love into being a dad. Everyone at the club couldn’t be happier for him and Polly.”
Polly Rose, who has been a steady and supportive presence throughout Mihocek’s career, is said to be doing well after the birth. Known for her warmth and down-to-earth nature, she’s received an outpouring of support from fans who admire the couple’s genuine bond both on and off social media.
The Collingwood Football Club also shared a celebratory post, writing:
> “A new Magpie has landed! Congratulations to Brody and Polly on the arrival of their beautiful baby boy. The Collingwood family grows stronger every day.”
This joyful news arrives at a time when Collingwood continues to ride high in the AFL, and it adds yet another layer of positivity to a team already rich in camaraderie and family spirit. Within the club, the mantra “Once a Magpie, always a Magpie” has never felt truer.
Fans have affectionately nicknamed the newborn “Little Magpie,” with many joking that he’s already destined to follow in his father’s footsteps. “Get him a mini black-and-white guernsey!” one fan commented, while another wrote, “Future key forward incoming—Mihocek blood runs strong!”
As the football season presses on, Mihocek is expected to take a short break to spend precious time with Polly and their son before returning to training. His teammates and coaches have publicly supported the decision, recognizing the importance of family in the demanding life of a professional athlete.
For now, the roar of the crowd will be replaced by softer sounds—baby giggles, quiet nights, and the hum of a new beginning. Brody and Polly’s journey into parenthood has just begun, and one thing’s certain: the newest member of the Collingwood family is already surrounded by love, pride, and black-and-white magic.
