Exciting news from the Welsh rugby scene! Power couple Jasmine Joyce-Butchers and Alisha Butchers just announced the birth of their precious little one, Ralphie Ted Joyce! 🎉👶 The rugby stars shared their joy on social media, saying, “The best day of our lives, the day you made us mams.”
In a heartfelt post, the couple shared a snap of baby Ralphie in a blue cap, nestled with his mams beaming in a hospital bed. The rugby family is buzzing with excitement, as fellow player and relative Nicky Smith joined many in congratulating the pair.
Alisha, who was absent from the Six Nations and missed the World Cup due to her pregnancy, bravely took on the role of carrying their baby. Despite the professional pause, Jasmine expressed how eagerly they’ve wanted to start a family, noting that in rugby, “there’s always something” that can make you wait for the perfect time.
Jasmine also praised the excellent support from the WRU’s performance maternity programme, noting how it’s been a phenomenal experience for Alisha. The couple, who delight in being around the training environment, tied the knot two years ago, and their love story continues to inspire both on and off the field.
Warm congratulations and love to Jasmine, Alisha, and baby Ralphie as they dive into this wonderful new chapter! 💙🏉 Don’t forget to check out the adorable post shared on their social media!
