August 22, 2020

Sport stars Shaun and Kayla Johnson have welcomed their first child into the world, a baby girl.

The New Zealand rugby league and netball internationals each posted photos of their newborn daughter on their Instagram accounts overnight.

"Welcome to this big crazy world Millah Malvina Johnson We love you so much", Kayla wrote.

Millah was born on August 20.

The Australia-based couple got married in December in Byron Bay, New South Wales.

The couple moved to Sydney when the Kiwis star signed for Cronulla for the 2019 season. Kayla made one appearance for the NSW Swifts in Australia's Super Netball competition last year.
