In June, Frederick had updated her social media followers that the nursery was ready and their baby could look forward to a room of her own
“And just like that our tiny dancer has a place of her own. The nursery is finally done and we are in full nesting mode. Creating this space has been so much fun and we can’t wait to create some precious memories in here,” said Frederick.

The couple said they wanted the nursery to “be a safe place for our bundle of joy. So we tried our best to select furniture with curved edges and non-toxic finishes, as well as choosing a non-latex mattress just in case of allergies. Overall we are obsessed with this space and feel like it’s going to be a really nice place for us to start our journey as a family together”.
UK-born Frederick moved to Australia when she was seven and started her AFL journey in 2016, initially with Brisbane and then moving to Richmond and is now with Collingwood. Frederick was part of the Australian reality television series SAS Australia.
