TV chef Adam Liaw, and his wife Asami, welcomed their daughter Anna in early February; Anna joins big brother Christopher, aged 2 [pictured]. Anna arrived earlier than expected, while Adam and his family were in Adelaide for Chinese New Year and the Fringe Festival. Adam was born in Malaysia and grew up in Adelaide; he worked as a lawyer and lived in Japan, where he met his wife. In 2010 he won the second season of MasterChef Australia, his victory the most-watched non-sporting TV event in Australian history. Since then he has written several cookbooks, and hosts the Destination Flavour TV series on SBS.
Former AFL player Gavin Wanganeen, and his wife Pippa, welcomed their daughter Posey Theadora on February 18. Posey joins sisters Kitty and Lulu, whose births have been featured on the blog, and Gavin has children named Tex and Mia from a previous marriage, who are Posey’s siblings. Gavin played for Essendon and Port Adelaide, and retired in 2006.
