Richie and Gemma McCaw have announced the birth of their second child.

Grace Isabelle McCaw was born on May 30, 2021.

“Mum and baby are doing well and Charlotte is excited to have a new sister,” the former All Blacks captain wrote in a post on Instagram on Thursday night.

”Congrats Skip. So happy for you guys,” former All Black Dan Carter wrote in response to the announcement.

”Congrats mate, love to the family,” added former Crusaders star Israel Dagg.

The Kiwi sporting power couple announced they were expecting a second child back in January.

“Gem and I are excited to share the news that we are expecting another baby later this year. Charlotte can’t wait to be a big sister,” Richie wrote on Instagram at the time.

The post was accompanied by a photo of a pair of knitted booties on a rock.

While they didn’t confirm the gender at the time, some speculated that it may be another girl, as the booties appeared to be pink – speculation that has turned out to be correct.
