In early May, after FC St. Pauli's relegation from the Bundesliga, and in early July, following Australia's World Cup exit against Egypt, Jackson Irvine (33) shed tears twice. But those tears have now dried.
Late Monday evening, the midfield battler posted an Instagram post showcasing his complete happiness.
Irvine Reveals Private Secret
The Instagram post features a collage: Irvine and his wife Jemilla Pir holding up ultrasound photos. The message is clear—the couple is expecting a baby.
In one photo, Irvine holds his head to his wife's baby bump, looking slightly anxious. The couple has been together for years and married in Denmark in summer 2024, immediately after the Bundesliga promotion. Now, their happiness is complete.
The post has received nearly 39,000 likes so far, including from current and former teammates such as:
- David Nemeth
- Ricky-Jade Jones
- Karol Mets
- Elias Saad
- Simon Zoller
- Mathias Rasmussen
- Connor Metcalfe
- Robert Wagner
- Manolis Saliakas
- Leart Paqarada
The Australian football association also congratulated the couple with a comment.
Return to Training
After the World Cup and three weeks of special leave, Irvine is back in Hamburg. He is expected to gradually return to training starting today.
The Australian had announced immediately after relegation that he intends to fulfill his contract (presumably until 2027) at St. Pauli and work toward promotion back to the Bundesliga.
