Brisbane Broncos fullback Reece Walsh has shared a touching tribute to his two-year-old daughter, Leila.
The rugby league star, 21, took to Instagram on Wednesday to share a series of pictures and videos as he spent time with his daughter.
‘With me every step of the way,’ he captioned the heartwarming post, which gave a glimpse of the NRL star as a doting single father when not on field.
The Instagram post included a delightful photo capturing Leila in an elegant dress standing beside her impeccably dressed dad in a suit, as well as an adorable image of her at Suncorp Stadium, holding a commentator microphone.
Several videos showed dad and daughter walking hand-in-hand on the football field after a recent match Reece finished playing.
Also featured was a candid shot of Walsh in a towel, accompanied by his daughter, as they shared an adorable moment brushing their teeth together.
The post struck a chord with Walsh’s followers, eliciting an impressive response of over 75,000 reactions in less than 24 hours.
Many of Reece’s 421,000 followers promptly shared their thoughts in the comments.
‘Omg this is absolutely beautiful, this is cuteness overload right here,’ wrote one fan.
Another agreed, writing, ‘Gorgeous relationship between a father and his daughter, she just adores you and you are a very doting dad.’
‘There’s nothing strong the love between a father and their child. Keep loving,’ remarked another person.
‘The greatest gift you can give your daughter is your time mate, never forget it,’ advised another fan.
Walsh split from his longtime girlfriend and mother of his daughter, Freda Puru, last year.
Despite welcoming Leila in March 2021 when Walsh was just 18, the couple continues to co-parent their daughter.
