Alex Carey Family Life With Parents Gordon Carey And Andrea Carey

Alex Carey parents Gordon Carey and Andrea Carey supported him throughout his athletic career.

Gordon and Andrea are parents to three kids, which include Alex’s older brother Adam and his older sister Ashleigh Carey. In an interview with Cricket Australia, Alex described himself as a good kid who didn’t give much trouble at home. So it must have been easy for Gordon and Andrea to raise Alex.

Gordon Carey, the father of Alex Carey, had his chemotherapy sessions going on when his son was called up for his debut against England in 2021. In an interview with 7News, Gordon said he wished he could have been there to watch his son’s big moment live. 

But with his ongoing battle with leukemia, Gordon hoped he could at least be there for the second test match at Adelaide. A multi-sport athlete, Alex played Australian rules football before switching to cricket. 

Alex has always been a momma’s boy. When he and Adam would play cricket in the backyard and Alex would be dismissed, he would run inside their house to ask his mother if he could go again. Andrea would step in and tell Adam to give his younger brother two more chances and help Alex continue playing the game.  

The cricketer casually posts photos of his mom and dad on his Instagram handle, with the latest one being on New Year’s Day in 2022. On November 26, 2022, Alex’s sister, Ashleigh, shared a photo of Gordon on his birthday.

She wrote she was grateful that her kids could spend another birthday with him as his battle with leukemia continues. 

Alex Carey sister Ashleigh Carey is a digital content creator with a sizeable following on Instagram. 

Ashleigh is available on Instagram with the username @ashcarey_ and has 11k followers. The content creator advertises various food products as well as skincare products on her social media page. 

Ashleigh tied the knot with her longtime partner Brett on October 21, 2017, and is a parent to three kids. With her brother and her husband being an athlete, Ashleigh has also shown her interest in the same. 

On her second Instagram account, Ashleigh shows her healthy lifestyle, which includes going out for a walk and attending yoga and pilates sessions. After her wedding ceremony was completed, Ashleigh shared that she had shredded 8.7 kgs and had also built muscle. 

Ashleigh and Brett had their first child Douglas Roy Miegel on August 9, 2016. Currently, six years old, Douglas is the training partner of his mum. On September 24, 2020, with Douglas at the center of the photograph, Ashleigh announced that she and Brett were going to be parents for the second time.

Before the birth of her second child, Ashleigh had several photoshoots and even made a belly serum. On April 9, 2021, the couple’s second child, Joey Alexander Miegel, was born with Ashleigh even saying that Douglas was smitten about his little brother.

Ashleigh has featured her tiny tods in several of her skincare clinically tested products from MooGoo, which is suitable for everyone. Recently, Ashleigh shared about Douglas’s new hobby of making lego on her Instagram handle. The children, with Ashleigh and Brett, also took a recent trip to meet their grandad and grandma to celebrate Christmas with them.

Alex Carey wife Eloise Carey believed that cricket was much safer than football.

Alex and Eloise had been dating since 2013 before they tied the knot three years later in 2016. Eloise wasn’t much supportive of Alex’s footballing career and thought he would be better off playing cricket. 

The better half of Alex received tons of attention after his stunning century. While being interviewed by Triple M radio, Eloise talked about Alex’s preparation before he hit his century on Boxing Day.

Eloise said that Alex allowed her to sleep in and woke up the kids at 5 am. She believes the same trend must continue if Alex wants to hit more centuries in the future. In the same interview, Eloise also talked about their married life.

Eloise met Alex when he was unemployed and had a job with financial planning firm. But seeing makes her proud of how far the cricketer had reached in his life. 

The better half of Alex Carey has attended several cricket games both as a spectator and a spouse. In 2020, she attended the Australian Cricket Awards with Alex at Palladium at Crown. Recently the couple had a Christmas photoshoot with Santa Claus and their two children, who thankfully were smiling in it.

Alex Carey family are natives of South Australia and are big sports lovers though none played it professionally before him.

Alex didn’t come from a sporting background like some of the cricketers do. He lived a normal life up until 2018 when he was handed over his ODI debut against England.

His father, Gordon Carey and mother, Andrae Carey, though remained supportive of their son, who decided to change his route from becoming a footballer to a cricketer as things didn’t quite work out. 

But not only his parents but his siblings, Adam and Ashleigh, were also supportive of him and his career. Ashleigh shared an Instagram post as a tribute to her brother after his century against South Africa on December 28. 

Alex’s better half Eloise couldn’t be much prouder of her husband, who was also one of the reasons why he chose cricket ahead of football. The couple became parents for the first time in 2018.

The Australian cricketer shared the photo of his son Louis Robert Carey on his Instagram handle on September 10, 2018, a day after he was born. Little Louis, with his dad and mom, has already traveled to various countries, with one of his first trips being to UAE.

On September 18, 2021, the cricketer and his better half welcomed another child, a baby girl named Clementine Rose Carey. Three months after her birth, she witnessed her father make his debut for Australia in cricket’s oldest format.
