Gary went ‘Instagram official’ with Maddie in April last year, but deleted the post one month later after receiving public backlash.
The black-and-white photo showed him smiling alongside Madi and his daughters, who he shares with his ex-wife Amie.
Gary and his wife Amie split in 2020 when he travelled with his Geelong teammates to Queensland to join the AFL Covid hub, while Amie stayed in Victoria with their children, Bella, three, and Sadie, 15 months.
The Rohans had suffered unimaginable grief in 2018 when Willow, Bella’s twin, died five hours after birth due to a defect causing babies to be born without parts of the brain.

The pair had been married for four years prior to their break-up, with Amie revealing in April last year the split was more difficult than losing their daughter.
‘The days after my marriage breakdown were some of the hardest days of my life, harder than when we lost Willow,’ she told the Move Your Mind podcast.
While Gary was in the AFL hub, he hooked up with Madi after his marriage broke down – just months after Sadie was born.
Madi had been flown cross-country to use her physio skills to help Geelong Cats legend Gary Ablett Jr see out his final season.
