The Browns have a daughter, Aila, who was born in December 2018.Hester wrote: “Esme Elizabeth, you complete our little tribe so wonderfully. Thank you for making our dreams come true!”In July last year, Hester shared an emotional tribute announcing they were pregnant with twins but had lost one to miscarriage.
The tribute posted on Instagram said twin number one was due February 2021 and twin two was ‘always in our hearts’.Hester wrote in the tribute: “This is bittersweet to announce, but I believe that if we don’t talk about difficult things we will never come to know that we aren’t alone.”Playing with North Melbourne at the time, the Browns travelled to Queensland to live in the hub.Hester, a marriage celebrant and Our Watch ambassador, wrote that during the interrupted AFL season travelling between hubs “we didn’t get to hear a heartbeat or see our babies until there was just one to see”.
“We are very grateful to have another beautiful baby join our family next year and we know that we are fortunate and will cherish what we have but we will also carry broken hearts for the beautiful twin who we will never hold in our arms,” she wrote.“I know that miscarrying/vanishing twins are common. But that doesn’t take the hurt away. And I just want to extend my love and my hand to anyone who has or is going through this. You are not alone.”Brown, 28, was traded to Melbourne from North Melbourne on a four-year deal.He has kicked 287 goals in 130 games and was runner-up in the Coleman Medal in 2019 when he kicked 64 goals.
