Patrick Keating and his girlfriend Penny Hunt welcomed their first child together at the end of March, and have named their son Jax. Jax has older siblings named Avalon and Slade, who are the children of Patrick and his ex-wife, Amber McDonald.

Patrick is the eldest son of former Labor Prime Minister Paul Keating, who was in office 1991-1996. Patrick has a background in private banking, and is now said to be pursuing a new career with the support of his father.

Penny is a fashion stylist who has worked with stars such as Asher Keddie, Cate Blanchett, Toni Collette, Jennifer Hawkins, Mischa Barton, Dominic Monaghan and Evangeline Lilly. She is the former Beauty Editor of Vogue Australia, and the current Fashion and Beauty Editor at Mindfood. Patrick and Penny have been together for about a year.

Local Adelaide cricketer Robbie Colville, and his wife Trudie, welcomed their daughter Sophie on March 24. Sophie Colville was born at 8 pm at Flinders Medical Centre, weighing 4 kg (9 lb). She joins big sister Claire, aged 3.

Robbie plays for Reynella, who won their grand final match against St Peter’s Old Collegians on the same day Sophie was born.

Rory Sutherland and his wife Cheynna welcomed their daughter Aurelia on March 13. Aurelia Sutherland joins big brother Eston.

Rory is originally from Canberra, and has been racing competitively since the age of 14. He has won many international races, and currently rides for Team Saxo-Tinkoff. At one point, Rory lived in Colorado in the United States, which is where he met his wife Cheynna. The family are now based in Girona, Spain. Although the name Aurelia is a little dated in Spain, here it is becoming very fashionable.

Matt Wilson and his wife Meg welcomed their son Hugo on March 21. Matt was a member of the national team, and after surviving cancer took up professional cycling. He came first in the National Road Race Championships in 2004, and the Herald Sun Tour in 2007. He retired last year.

Media personality Chrissie Swan, and her partner, Chris Saville, welcomed their daughter Peggy on March 26, and her birth was announced on Channel Ten’s The Project. Peggy Swan Saville was born in Melbourne at 9.15 am, and joins big brothers Leo and Kit; Kit’s birth was reported on the blog in 2011.

UPDATE: Chrissie has revealed that her daughter’s name was originally going to be Josephine, and was actually named Josephine for twenty minutes before she and Chris decided to be “brave” and go with something “a little bit different”.

I think they made the right choice, because while royal Josephine is trending upwards like nobody’s business, retro Peggy is bang on for style, as short forms of Margaret become ever more fashionable.
