Rock musician Kevin Mitchell, and his wife Kristen, welcomed a daughter in October last year, and her name has just been announced as Ella. Now one year old, Ella Mitchell will soon be visiting her dad’s home town of Perth for the first time.

Kevin is best known for being the vocalist and guitarist for alternative rock band Jebediah, which became well known after winning the Australian National Campus Band Competition in the 1990s. Jebediah is a music festival favourite, and has brought out five albums, with the first, Slight Odway, going double platinum. Kevin has also pursued a successful solo career under the pseudonym Bob Evans, and recently released his fourth album, The Double Life.

Kristen and Kevin were married in 2006 and moved to Melbourne in 2008.

Television presenter Brodie Harper, and her husband Heath Meldrum, welcomed their first child on November 6 (Melbourne Cup Day), and have named their daughter Jessica. Two years ago, Brodie was diagnosed with polycystic ovarian syndrome and underwent fertility treatment, which was ultimately successful, resulting in baby Jessica.

Brodie is a model who has appeared in Madison, Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar. She is a presenter on the Channel 9 travel show Postcards, and fills in as a weather presenter on the station’s news report. A regular reporter and commentator for sporting events such as the Melbourne Spring Racing Carnival, this year Brodie was the face of the the Mornington Cup, and is an ambassador for The Hilton in Melbourne.

Heath is also a model, and a personal trainer with his own business, NRG Fitness. He and Brodie first met in a crowded restaurant, after they caught each’s gaze, and were married in 2008, afterwards honeymooning in Thailand.

AFL footballer Corey Enright, and his wife Renee, welcomed their first child on October 28 and have named their son Boh Finley. Boh Enright was born at 2.04 pm weighing 4.14 kg (9lb 2oz). Corey plays for the Geelong Cats, while Renee is a fashion stylist for Westfield Geelong; she also writes fashion features for Baby&Child magazine. Corey and Renee were married just over a year ago at a beach wedding in Queensland.

Former soccer player Mark Bosnich, and his partner Sara Jones, welcomed their daughter Allegra last spring. This seems to be the first time that Allegra’s birth has been mentioned in the press. Mark was born in Sydney, and played in the English premier league for Aston Villa, Manchester United, and Chelsea, as well as representing Australia. After many years in London, he returned to Australia in 2008, where he played for the Central Coast Mariners and Sydney Olympic. He has had a chequered career and battled a costly drug addiction, but has now rebuilt his life, and is a commentator on Fox Sports as well as a player manager.

Allegra is proving quite the favourite as a celebrity baby name!
