New Beginnings for AFL Star Bobby Hill and Partner Georgia Devlin
AFL player Bobby Hill and his partner Georgia Devlin have shared the joy of welcoming their daughter, Hazel Hill, into the world. This marks a significant moment for the couple, coming just over a year after their high-profile split.
Devlin took to social media to introduce their “perfect little girl” to the world, sharing some heartfelt photos of the newborn with her two brothers, Bobby Junior and Malakai. The post was accompanied by a touching caption that read, “Hazel Hill🌸 my perfect little girl.”
The arrival of Hazel has brought a sense of renewal to the couple’s relationship, as they appear to have reconnected in time for the birth. This comes at an important time for Hill, who is currently working towards making a return to the field. He recently took personal leave from the Collingwood Magpies during the off-season, a decision that coincided with the challenges in his personal life.
A Surprise Pregnancy
Hill and Devlin’s split in July 2025 came as a shock to many, but it wasn’t long before the news of another development emerged. Just months after their separation, it was revealed that Devlin was pregnant with their third child. She shared the exciting news around Christmas, posting a series of photos of herself and the boys decorating a Christmas tree. However, there was no mention of Hill in the post, hinting at the ongoing tension between the couple.
Despite the initial difficulties, the couple seems to have found a way to move forward. Magpies coach Craig McRae confirmed that Hill would be granted personal leave to be with Devlin ahead of the birth. “Bobby’s partner is due, she’s due this weekend, he’s unlikely to play,” McRae said. “I am not sure if she’s going into labour, but he’s not here today, she’s got a bit going on. Again, we wish them well and see how that goes in the next couple of days.”
A Journey Back to the Field
The news that Hill wouldn’t be playing came just weeks after he returned to the VFL, a major step in his recovery. His return to the club in March marked a turning point, as he had been training privately before that. Hill has not played since round 21 last year, when the club granted him personal leave following the breakdown of his relationship with Devlin.
At the time, Devlin moved back to Perth with their two sons, which led to a period of emotional reflection for Hill. He shared an emotional post about missing his kids, which was one of the first public signs that their relationship was struggling. “Gonna miss you guys. Dad loves yous,” he wrote alongside a photo of him and the boys.
Social Media Silence and Public Signs
While neither Devlin nor Hill commented directly on the split, their social media activity spoke volumes. Hill’s feed went quiet, and he removed almost all photos of his partner and their two sons. The couple also unfollowed each other on Instagram, and all tagged photos of each other disappeared from their profiles.
Since then, neither Hill nor Devlin have followed each other on social media, and Hill has not posted anything on Instagram since June 2025. He has also not shared the news of Hazel’s birth on his page, leaving much of the celebration to Devlin.
A New Chapter
As the couple navigates this new chapter, the arrival of Hazel offers a fresh start. While their journey has been filled with challenges, the birth of their daughter brings a sense of hope and unity. For now, the focus remains on the family, with Hill taking the necessary time to support his partner and new child.
