The 5ft9in stunner completed the look with an unbuttoned white blouse, 

Her shoulder-length, wavy ombre tresses were worn loose for the pic.

Minutes later, Jesinta shared an amusing text interaction with her athlete husband of five years, as he looked after their one-year-old daughter Tullulah at home.

During the exchange, the key forward texted Jesinta, who was out at the time, ‘Think you need to hurry.’

His model wife replied with a poo emoji, to which Buddy replied, ‘Yep’.

Jesinta captioned the post, ‘Lolllllll. Dad does not do [pooey] nappies’.

In a post on Instagram Stories on Monday, the native Queenslander revealed her young daughter, Tullulah, had taken to eating toilet paper.  

‘How delightful… Our child is now biting chunks out of the toilet paper roll. I was responding to a text message and had turned my back for a second!!’ she captioned the post.

At the time, Jesinta confirmed that she was ‘nearly halfway through’ her pregnancy.

‘It was a very big surprise for us. Tullulah will be getting a sibling at the end of March next year, so she will have just turned one,’ she said.

‘So I’ll have a 13-month[-old] and a newborn, which was very daunting at first. I found out a week after Buddy went into the [AFL] hub, which was all just a lot to deal with at once.’
