AFL glamour couple Jesinta and Buddy Franklin have been spotted enjoying some family time amid rumours they're moving to the Gold Coast so the busy mum-of-two can make her mark in the business world.
The doting parents were pictured playing with their daughter Tallulah, 2, and son Rocky, 1, at a playground in Parsley Bay in Sydney's Vaucluse.
Make-up free Jesinta, 30, and barefoot Buddy, 35, were worlds away from the red carpet as the model rugged up in a puffer jacket while her AFL superstar husband wore a hoodie with many visible marks.

Jesinta and Buddy have officially 'shut down' any talk of their plans until the end of the current AFL season. But rumours are rife he won't continue with the Sydney Swans beyond 2022 after he was asked to take a 50 per cent pay cut in 2023.
A move to the Gold Coast will allow Jesinta to finally 'get serious' about her next steps, say those close to her, whose parents Valerie and Andrew also live in the area.
It's understood Jesinta has a number of business ideas on the go including a retail fashion venture, as well as plans to build on her position as a high-profile media personality.
Jesinta has made her media intentions known in recent years, speaking out on controversial issues including racism in sport and the Bali Nine executions which gained worldwide attention in 2015.
Back in 2015 she came to the support of Indigenous Sydney Swans player Adam Goodes after he was booed during a match.
'Booing is a public form of bullying and Adam has come out and said it was affecting him so everyone needs to stop,' she told the Today show.
'Is it racist? Yes I think it is. And anyone who has never experienced racial vilification, racism is just a word to them.'
A move to the Gold Coast would give Jesinta an extra layer of support with her mum living there, and allow her to pursue her career interests
The couple are reportedly considering founding a local version of rapper Jay Z's management company Roc Nation, which represents some of the world's most elite athletes
