St Kilda star Jack Silvagni and wife Grace welcome their second child - after difficult year in which his brother was jailed

Jack Silvagni is looking towards new horizons after a challenging year for his family. 

The 28-year-old St Kilda footballer and his wife, Grace Phillips, have welcomed their second child together. 

In an announcement shared on Instagram this weekend, the couple introduced their baby girl to the world. 

The sweet images were accompanied by a simple caption that revealed the newborn's name - Annabel. 

Further images showed the little girl cuddling up to her big brother, two-year-old Charlie. 

Jack and Grace were married in Noosa in 2023, and welcomed their first child the following year.  

The couple shared the news that they were expecting on Instagram earlier this year, posting an image of Grace showing her baby bump while their son Charlie reached towards her stomach.

'Charlie waiting for his mate,' Grace wrote.

The pair welcomed their first child, Charlie, in September 2024. He was born on the night of the Brownlow Medal.

Jack posted at the time, 'Grace Silvagni you are amazing and our boy is so lucky to have you as his mum.'

Silvagni played 128 AFL games across nine seasons with Carlton before joining St Kilda. He is the son of Carlton premiership player Stephen Silvagni and Jo Silvagni.

The announcement comes after a significant period for the Silvagni family.

Silvagni's brother, Tom Silvagni, was convicted by a Victorian jury on 5 December 2025 on two counts of rape following a County Court trial.

He was later sentenced by Judge Greg Lyon to six years and two months' imprisonment, with a non-parole period of three years and three months.

The court heard the offences related to an incident in January 2024 involving a woman known as Ms T. 

The prosecution case included evidence of deceptive conduct and an altered Uber receipt, as well as a recorded pretext phone call.

Tom Silvagni has lodged an appeal against his convictions.

Jack Silvagni has continued his AFL career during this period and recently joined St Kilda after leaving Carlton.
