"So precious!" Kochie celebrates arrival of his 9th grandchild
David Koch has shared the happy news that his tribe of grandchildren has grown by one, posting a photo of his 9th grandchild.
Kochie announced the safe arrival of baby girl Heidi, who is the first child of his daughter Georgie and her husband Alex.
The former Sunrise host posted a photo of the moment his wife Libby met the new arrival for the first time in London, as his friends and colleagues shared their congratulations.
“When Libby meets Heidi… grandchild #9… in London for the first time. First child for Georgie and Alex,” he wrote alongside the image.
Former colleague Melissa Doyle commented, "Just gorgeous 😍", while Seven sports reporter Mark Beretta added, "Congratulations and what a beautiful moment!!👏".
Fans also shared their congratulations to Kochie, celebrating the happy news of his latest grandchild’s arrival.
“Congratulations to you all,” one wrote, while another said, “Gorgeous photo. So precious!”
Kochie first shared the news of his growing family when Georgie was halfway through her pregnancy with Heidi, telling The Morning Show hosts Larry Emdur and Kylie Gillies that he and Libby were planning a trip to London to partake in a family tradition.
"We have a family tradition, we buy the first pram for each of the families. (We're) very excited. It's number nine for us," he said in April.
Heidi is David's ninth grandchild, as his three eldest children have eight kids between them.
His son AJ welcomed his first child - a daughter called Catalina May - with his wife Carolina in 2021.
The little one was born weeks after Samantha welcomed a daughter called Florence May with her partner Toby. They also share three other children - Lila, Oscar, and Matilda.
David's other daughter Brianna, who lives in Perth, also has three children - Jax, Teddy and Ella - with her partner CJ Jayasinghe.
