Melbourne Demons AFLW star Daisy Pearce has started a potential dynasty at the club.

The prominent women’s footballer and her partner Ben O’Neil announced the safe arrival of their two children on Monday morning, Sylvie and Roy.

Pearce had pulled out of the third season of the competition due to her pregnancy.

This didn’t stop her from being involved, taking part in the broadcast of the round one match between Geelong and Collingwood earlier this month.

Pearce said she and O’Neil had ‘exploding hearts’ in a post in Instagram.

“Both are wonderful and being smothered in love and smooches,” she said.

The Demons captain stepped away from playing, but was still heavily involved in the club’s pre-season.

Pearce also filmed a quick introduction with the newborns ahead of this weekend’s clash with North Melbourne – confirming the kids will be Demons for life.
