Honor and Dan Carter unveil exciting baby news

Kiwi sports star Dan Carter is becoming a father again!

The former All Black took to Instagram to reveal that he and his wife, Honor Carter, are expecting their third child together.

"Family is the most important thing in the world to me. With Honor being the best and mode dedicated wife/mother, it excites me to know we are adding to our family," Dan wrote alongside a sweet snap of he, Honor and their two sons Marco, 5, and  Fox, 3, on the beach, looking out towards Auckland’s Rangitoto Island.

Honor also shared the same photo to her account, writing: "Very excited another littler Carter will be added to our family soon."

The couple – who married in 2011- has yet to reveal whether the baby will be a boy or a girl.

While Honor is no longer playing hockey, Dan is set to continue his rugby career in Japan after signing a 2-year Kobelco Steelers contract. We’re sure he will make it back to New Zealand in time for the birth of his child.

And Dan isn’t the only New Zealand rugby legend to be expecting – just last month Richie McCaw and his wife, Gemma revealed that they are expecting their first baby together.
