Former Silver Fern Maria Folau is reportedly expecting her first child with controversial husband Israel.
The netballer is in her second trimester of the pregnancy and the couple are expecting a child later this year, according to reports from The Daily Telegraph.
It comes almost a year after Israel Folau was sacked by Rugby Australia, over homophobic comments on social media.
Folau's infamous Instagram post warned hell awaits homosexuals.
