Brett Finch Is Still Married To Wife Elli Johnston And Has A Daughter Mackenzie Grace

Brett Finch married his wife Elli Johnston in January 2018. The couple finally took a milestone in their relationship after dating for several years and being with each other. Their relationship has currently come to the highlight with the legal issues going around with the former player. 

Brett and Elli have been together in every step of their newly married life. Moreover, the couple also invests in several real estate to build their financial relationship while maintaining romantic bonding. When Finch married Johnston, at the time, he was a retiree from his rugby career and was working for Fox Sports. 

They were romantically involved for five years when they finally stepped out to tie a knot. Ellie is well-known for being the spouse of the former rugby player, who has been in a long-term relationship with him. She has often become the target of the media as Finch got tangled up with all the scandals. 

Despite all the controversies and accusations, the couple has stayed married for around four years. On the day they vowed to each other, the couple wore a beautiful dress, with Elli looking pretty in her gown. The public still remembers their lovely wedding and their time together. 

Their wedding took place at Melbourne’s Greenfields Albert Park, and thus their married life continued. The couple seems to have a few years of an age gap, with Brett being a 41-years man. As for Johnston, she has preferred to live a low-profile life, keeping her personal things private. Nevertheless, she still makes her appearance in public occasionally.

The couple have opened up about their first meeting in Melbourne at a barbecue, mentioning “We were at the house of mutual friends. I needed help moving my car out of the garage, and Brett offered to help me. I thought Brett was very funny and very charismatic. We enjoyed each other’s company straight away.”

They further continued, “It went from zero to 100 pretty quickly, which is not like either of us. We’re both quite conservative. We started spending more and more time together and, by August, Elli had moved up here.” They still mesmerized the wedding day, with Brett adding, “It was such a great wedding and Elli looked absolutely magnificent. It was a really beautiful day.” 

After getting married, the couple thus started their newly married life while supporting each other through thick and thin. 

However, since the scandals and allegations, the couple married life seems to be facing complications at present. Also, Elli has been inactive on his social media accounts and staying away from the media light for the moment. 

Previously, she was seen in late 2021 outside the couple’s Sans Souci home when Finch got bailed after detention. Regardless of all the ups and downs, the pair is still legally married to each other. His wife was in pretty shock when she learned about the recent scandals. For now, the public wonders about their relationship and future married life. 

Brett Finch shares a daughter named Mackenzie Grace with his wife, Elli Johnston. After getting married in January 2018, the couple welcomed their first child to the family in 2019. 

Mackenzie was their first step to parenthood and a new milestone in their married life. Finch and his better half enjoyed every bit of their moment when they welcomed their first daughter into the family. In the same year, their first child was born; The Sydney Morning Herald reported he checked himself into the mental health facility after the event on the interstate flight. 

One of the witnesses from the flight mentioned, “He looked like he couldn’t bring himself to get off the plane… as a ghost, couldn’t control his runny nose and (appeared) paranoid. He wasn’t abusive. He just didn’t want to get off the plane, like he was scared about something.”

The year 2019 was a rollercoaster of emotions for the family, with the newborn child coming into the world and Finch checking for his mental health. Nevertheless, their first daughter, Grace, was one of the good things that happened to the couple’s life that brought joy to the family. 

Who Is Brett Finch Daughter Mackenzie Grace?

Mackenzie Grace is the first child and daughter of the well-known former rugby player Brett Finch and  Elli Johnston. She was born in 27 May 2019 and is currently three years of age. As soon as she came into the world, Grace became the world of her parents. 

Her father and mother were excited to be part of their first-time parenthood and thrilled to take their new role in life. At the time, Brett was 37 years of age, and Elli was 32 years old. When their little girl wrapped her little finger around her father, he melted, giving his all love to his daughter. 

At the time, being excited, he expressed his feelings, “It (parenthood), is just so hard to describe, but it’s an amazing feeling. I spent my whole life around men in sporting teams, and now I’m surrounded by two beautiful girls and couldn’t be happier.”

While Grace’s mother, Ellie explains, “It has been a bit of a dream so far. Mackenzie’s absolutely wonderful. For me, one of the most beautiful things has been seeing Brett as a parent. I always knew that he had it in him to be nurturing, but to see him with his own daughter is quite amazing. He’s a big softie.”

Meanwhile, Finch adds up crediting his wife, “I struggled for the first couple of years of retirement with the loss of footy, and Elli had moved interstate and was living away from family and friends. But she was a massive support to me in that transition period, I’m extremely lucky to have Elli. We went on to have a beautiful wedding and now we have our beautiful daughter.”

Does Brett Finch Have Other Children?

Besides Mackenzie Grace, Brett Finch has two other children with his wife, Elli Johnston. Although the couple have shared their experience in parenthood while welcoming their first child, they kept their other kids’ life private in the following years.

Brett is the father of three children, and one of them is Mackenzie Grace, his eldest daughter, while her siblings and the other two kids’ identity remains behind the curtain. His other two children might be below three years of age, as his eldest daughter is only three years of age. 

As their kids are still young, the pair might have been protecting their child from the spotlight and media and public attention. Nevertheless, there is a chance that those two children will get introduced to the public in the coming days. 

Also, with all the controversy going on, the family has decided to stay low profile from the public, which might also be one of the reasons to keep their child’s identity safe and sound. Nevertheless, in the present time, it is only known that the pair have three children, which includes their daughter Mackenzie Grace, who might be pursuing her schooling. 

Furthermore, at present, it remains dubious if the couple is planning to have more children in the future or not. They are looking after their three kids and their future by nurturing them. The couple has been married for over four years, and within those years, they have already welcomed three kids to their home.

Moreover, with their relationships being in jeopardy at present, there seems to be very little chance of the couple welcoming more children in the future.
