NRL footballer Bryan Norrie, and his wife Kim, welcomed their son Brody Michael on January 3. Brody Norrie was born weighing about 3.7 kg (just over 8 pounds).

Bryan has been playing rugby league professionally since 2004, and began his career with the St George Illawarra Dragons. He has been with the Melbourne Storm since 2010.

This makes Brody Norrie the first celebrity baby for 2012, with Bo Blackwell the first celebrity girl baby.
