Roosters star Angus Crichton has stunned the footy world with an elaborate baby gender reveal alongside his expecting wife Chloe - all while his NRL future beyond next season is up in the air.
The loved-up pair posted a video on Instagram, revealing the imminent arrival of a baby boy.
They posed in front of the picturesque Sydney Harbour Bridge as a backdrop, before the grand reveal took place.
Both Angus and Chloe pushed champagne glasses into a cake which had the text 'Baby Crichton' plastered over it.
As the pair pushed the glasses in to break apart the cake, the centre was revealed to be a blue centre, signifying the gender.
The happy couple were visibly emotional and over the moon with the news, with both screaming in excitement, before embracing each other.

Footage of the baby's gender reveal has since gone viral on social media, with many current and former teammates wishing the couple well.
'Congrats guys', posted ex-Rabbitohs teammate Cody Walker.
'Aww baby boy!!!!', added Cameron Murray's partner, Miranda Cross.
Current Roosters teammates Sam Walker and Naufahu Whyte also offered their congratulations.
The exciting life news comes as the Roosters star prepares to make a decision on his playing future.
It's been reported that Crichton is heavily considering a move to rugby union when his current contract with the Roosters finishes at the end of 2026.
Crichton is said to be currently weighing up a contract extension with the Tricolours, a stint in Japanese rugby or remaining in Australia to play Super Rugby.
If the back-rower makes the move to union, he will be the third Roosters star in recent times to depart for the rival footy code, after Joseph Manu and Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii.

Crichton has played 143 NRL games for the Roosters following his defection from the Rabbitohs at the end of the 2018 season.
He has also taken part in 17 matches for the NSW Blues at State of Origin level.
The 29-year-old also recently represented the Kangaroos on their Ashes tour in England, where he was a standout as Kevin Walters' side won the series 3-0.
