Bulldogs captain Marcus Bontempelli and his wife Neila have announced the arrival of their first child, a baby girl, in an adorable social media post. The couple's gender reveal cake cutting and hugging moment was set to the song 'She's got you High', and Neila's Instagram story comment 'yeah the girls' confirmed the exciting news.
The couple's happiness was shared by Bulldogs teammates, friends, and families, who celebrated their recent wedding in California's Napa Valley. Marcus and Neila's wedding was a grand affair, with a luxury ranch setting and a pre-wedding performance of the Oasis hit 'Wonderwall' by the groomsmen. Both Marcus and Neila, a Canadian ice hockey player, had their hens and bux parties in Las Vegas, adding a touch of fun to their pre-wedding celebrations.
Their love story began in Perth after the 2021 grand final, where Marcus proposed to Neila in Tuscany, Italy, in November 2024. The couple also owns and operates Arthur's Milkbar cafe in Kew, showcasing their diverse interests and talents.
This announcement marks a significant milestone for the couple, as they prepare to welcome their first child into the world, bringing even more joy to their lives.
