Australian tennis great Samantha Stosur has shared the joyful news of her second child’s arrival, announcing the birth of a baby girl with partner Liz Astling.
The 41-year-old former US Open champion revealed the happy update on social media, posting a sweet photo of the newborn wrapped in a starry muslin cloth and snug under a grey blanket.
“And beautiful chaos reigns once again,” Stosur captioned the post, introducing their daughter as Emmeline Grace – or Emmy for short.
“Evie is beyond happy to have a little sister and we are over the moon,” she wrote, referring to the couple’s first daughter, Genevieve, who turned five last month.
Stosur, who most recently served as Australia’s team captain for the 2025 Billie Jean King Cup, first shared news of her pregnancy in April in a lighthearted post that featured her assembling a pram to the tune of Amy Grant’s Baby Baby.
“Time to dust off the baby gear,” she joked. “It’s my turn this time.”

The couple welcomed their first daughter, Evie, in 2020 – with Astling giving birth – and now say their growing family feels “complete”.
Fans and fellow athletes flooded Stosur’s post with congratulations and well wishes as the family of four settles into life with their newest little teammate.
“Welcome to the world, Emmy,” Stosur wrote. “We love you so much.”
