Pregnant Sophie Cachia hints she will raise her third child as a single mother – amid speculation her AFL star ex-husband Jaryd is the sperm donor

Sophie Cachia shared the exciting news she is expecting her third child last week, prompting speculation about her relationship status.

The influencer, 33, took to Instagram last Wednesday to announce the pregnancy and later confirmed she is due to welcome a baby girl.

Sophie already shares a son, Bobby, nine, and a daughter Florence, seven, with her AFL star ex-husband Jaryd Cachia, who she split from in late 2019.

Sophie has now hinted she will be raising her third child as a single parent after responding to a fan’s congratulatory comment on YouTube.

A fan penned: ‘Love this for you and your family!! You will be fine on your own, already an amazing mama! Congratulations,’ to which Sophie simply responded with: ‘Thank you so much!!’

Her pregnancy announcement has also prompted speculation surrounding the identity of the father or sperm donor, with some suggesting that it might be a friend of hers.

Outspoken podcast hosts Amy, Kate and Sophie Taeuber discussed the theory that her ex-husband Jaryd, 33 – who now has a new partner – might be the sperm donor.

‘After Sophie made her pregnancy announcement, there were a lot of people saying ”who is the father?” and I thought it was fairly obvious it was a sperm donor because of her previous situation with Maddie and how they were going through IVF,’ they said.

‘Perhaps people were asking who is the father in terms of is it a friend who has donated the sperm,’ they argued. ‘I think people are saying is it Jaryd or is it someone that they know?’

‘She hasn’t confirmed any of this information and it really isn’t anyone’s business,’ the sisters added.

The podcasters claimed Sophie publicly spoke about having already told Jaryd about her pregnancy in a bid to squash rumours there is any rift between them.

Sophie separated from Jarryd back in 2019 and they remain on amicable terms co-parenting their two children.

After their split, Sophie had an on/off relationship with Matildas star Alanna Kennedy, but they went their separate ways in early 2020.

She was then engaged to Maddie Garrick for eight months, before they shocked fans by announcing their separation in October 2022.

Sophie then struck up a romance with footballer Sophie van de Heuvel, but the pair reportedly split in January of this year after one year of dating.

They struck up a romance in December 2022, but unfollowed each other on Instagram in January 2024.

They chose to spend Christmas and New Year’s apart, with Sophie posting snaps of her celebrations with her ‘chosen family’, where Heuvel was notably absent.

The pair kept their romance relatively private during the course of their relationship and neither appeared in photographs on each other’s feeds.

Earlier this year, Sophie was rumoured to be dating an unnamed basketball player, but she has not gone public with any new romance since her split from Heuvel.
