Adam began his professional career in 2012 with the South Sydney Rabbitohs, and was named Rookie of the Year and Members Choice Player of the Year for that season. Adam has also been selected for the NRL All Stars and City Origin. This year the Rabbitohs won the NRL Grand Final, ending a 43-year premiership drought for the team.

Ben Barba, and his partner Ainslie Curry, welcomed their third child recently and have named their daughter Blaise. Blaise joins older siblings Bodhi and Bronte, so the B theme continues. Ben began his professional career in 2008, and signed with the Brisbane Broncos for the 2014 season; rumour has it that he will be going to the Cronulla Sharks next year. He has also played for the Indigenous All Stars.

Former child performer Elly-May Barnes, and her partner Liam Conboy, welcomed their first child on September 23 and have named their son Dylan James. Dylan’s middle name may be in honour of his grandfather.

Elly-May is the youngest daughter of rock star Jimmy Barnes, front man for Cold Chisel, and his wife Jane Mahoney (born Jane Dejakasaya in Thailand). Elly-May suffered a brain haemorrhage after being born prematurely, which left her with cerebral palsy, giving her chronic pain and a limp in one leg. As a child, Elly-May was a member of the children’s pop group the Tin Lids, along with her sisters Mahalia, Eliza-Jane, and Jackie. They released three albums in the early 1990s. Elly-May’s partner Liam works in the hospitality industry.
