North becomes a dad for first time

Two-time British & Irish Lion North and former professional track cyclist Becky – who won two silver medals for Team GB at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games – revealed the news on social media.

North posted: “Hello everyone, please meet Jac North. He is a dude! Welcome to the pack.”

The Wales winger toured with the Lions in 2013 and 2017, scoring one of the all-time great Lions tries in the first Test against Australia in 2013 – running from inside his own 10-metre line and beating four defenders.

North got married last summer and the couple announced they were pregnant while on their honeymoon in the Maldives.

And after giving birth to baby Jac, Becky posted on Instagram: “Welcome to the world little one…My heart is so full.”
