Richie and Gemma McCaw are expecting their first child.
Gemma announced the news in an Instagram post yesterday.
"Rich and I are very excited to announce that we are expecting our first baby later this year," she wrote.
The pair married in January 2017 at Lake Wanaka in front of 170 guests.
Last October All Blacks legend Richie spoke with TVNZ1's Breakfast about his marriage to Gemma .

"It's been pretty good so far, nothing to complain about," he said.
During that interview he remained tight-lipped about whether a little McCaw was on the way.
Richie is a former All Blacks captain who led the All Blacks to back-to-back Rugby World Cup titles in 2011 and 2015.
Gemma is a former New Zealand hockey player for the national side the Black Sticks. She announced her retirement from international hockey last October.
