The couple welcomed a baby boy in February last year after their miscarriage heartbreak.
The AFL star, 33, posted to Instagram at the time to share the jovial baby news with his 49,000 followers in a heartwarming post.
Gary announced that he was expecting his first child and ‘rainbow baby’ with Madi in August 2023, after the couple suffered a devastating missed miscarriage.
The footballer also lost a child with his ex-wife Amie in 2018.
Announcing their son’s birth, Gary shared a snap of himself and Madi beaming from ear-to-ear as they posed with their newborn baby, who was sleeping in his pram.
In an accompanying caption, Gary confirmed the little one’s arrival as he simply wrote: ‘Home time with our little man.’
The proud father – who also shares daughters Sadie and Bella with his ex-wife Amie – has not yet confirmed their baby boy’s name or when he was born.
His friends and fans were quick to take to the comments section to share their congratulatory messages with the happy couple.

Geelong Cats player Gary confirmed that he and Madi were expecting a child together in a post shared to Instagram in August 2023.
Sharing a picture of their ultrasound scan, he wrote: ‘Grow’n a Rohan. Our rainbow baby is on the way.’
He continued: ‘What felt like the longest journey to hearing your heart beat, was worth every second to soon have you in our arms.
‘We are so excited to be your Mum and Dad.’
Gary also shared a lengthy paragraph about the child he lost with his ex-wife Amie, who tragically died shortly after Amy gave birth to twins.
The infant, a daughter named Willow, had a fatal neural tube defect known as anencephaly, which has no known cure.
‘I want to take a moment to acknowledge those who see this post with a broken heart of their own,’ Gary wrote.
‘A feeling of which I know all too well. When it feels like the whole world is falling pregnant, and you’re suffering unimaginable grief after losing your own, it’s the hardest post to see.

‘I just want to say to all of those who know this feeling, or are feeling it now, please know you are not alone. I hear you, I see you, I feel you. We are 1 in 4.’
Gary and Amie were high school sweethearts and were married for four years before splitting in 2020.
He then went public with Geelong physio Madi in 2021, and the happy couple officially tied the knot in December 2022.
They announced their baby news in August 2023, and have since both spoken openly about a devastating miscarriage they suffered last year.
Gary recently spoke about how the heartbreaking miscarriage brought up the devastating memories of losing his daughter Willow just hours after her birth.
‘I lost a child with my last partner, so obviously this brought back a lot of memories,’ he told News Corp.
‘Willow, she had anencephaly where part of the skull doesn’t mould together. We knew she wouldn’t have life after birth.
‘We had five amazing hours with Willow before she grew her wings and left.’
Madi previously explained how she had suffered a ‘missed miscarriage’, which occurs when a fetus is no longer alive but the body still thinks it’s pregnant

Madi previously explained how she had suffered a ‘missed miscarriage’, which occurs when a fetus is no longer alive but the body still thinks it’s pregnant.
‘I had what they call a missed miscarriage,’ she told the Missta Mums podcast.
‘My body was still 100 per cent going ahead with the pregnancy and growing and hormones were elevating and doing everything they should have but my body hadn’t registered that I’d lost the baby.
‘I kept growing and still having all of my symptoms.’
She said she had to go through a devastating two-week wait to know for sure whether she had miscarried.
‘The two weeks to wait for that second scan had literally driven me insane,’ she said. ‘Anymore waiting I couldn’t hack it.’
Madi admitted that she had no idea the experience was so common and wasn’t sure if she would share the news with others.
She said: ‘It’s something you can’t understand unless you’ve been through it. You hear the stories and you definitely sympathise with others going through it but it hit me like a whole ton of bricks.

‘My heart broke at that point especially because I know there must have been women around me who’d been through this and I didn’t know and I wasn’t there to support them.
‘It is such a taboo topic. Before this pregnancy I had a miscarriage of my own and felt like there was nothing out there.
‘There was nothing I could resonate with, nothing I could understand a bit about the process and how common it is.
‘You’re not alone, one in four pregnancies end in miscarriage.’
Gary’s ex-wife Amie welcomed a baby boy named Archibald Alexander Todd in April last year, with partner Jaison Todd.
The ex-wife of Geelong star Gary gave birth to her son at 4:32am.
‘A very healthy (& big) bubba boy, born naturally weighing 9lbs and 52cm long, our hearts are bursting at the seams,’ Rohan wrote on social media.
‘The most incredible birthing experience that I never thought I’d be able to have, I couldn’t have done it without you @jaison_todd’.

The post was accompanied by a series of gorgeous black and white images of the proud mum and dad and their new addition.
Amie, who confirmed her baby news in December, said that she and Jaison are considering marriage and already living together.
‘I love being pregnant. I feel my most womanly and most wholesome when I’m pregnant’ she told the Herald Sun.
‘I’m feeling so much elation this entire pregnancy and there’s so many big life changes for us.’
‘With everything I’ve been through we’re taking each day as it come,’ she said.
‘It’s not something where I need to cement what we are. He’s such a gentleman and everything that’s happened with him is divine timing.
‘I said I’d never get married again but who knows, I’m not closed off to the thought of it.’
