Eddie Betts is a retired Australian rules footballer who played in the Australian Football League for the Carlton and Adelaide Football Clubs.
He lives together with his wife, Anna Scullie, and five kids.
Who Is Eddie Betts Wife, Anna Scullie?
Eddie Betts is married to his wife, Anna Scullie since August 5, 2015. She is the Managing Director of Frankly Eco and the Special Projects Manager of Betts’ Eddie’s Lil Homies Series.
She is originally from Victoria and her family still lives there.
Betts’ wife and companion of 6 years is the rock in his life who holds down the fort while the star forward is potting goals in the pocket at Adelaide Oval.
“The way our connection works is that we feed off of one other for support,” Scullie explained to ABC’s The Outer Sanctum program.
“In my experience, racism can be extremely alienating (for players); people assume you have a lot of support, but you don’t always.”
Eddie finds it very vital to have allies speak up, such as Patrick Dangerfield and Alex Rance.
“I’m always pleased to talk to non-Aboriginal people about why tossing a banana is hurtful and insulting. My role is to be Eddie’s ally.”
Eddie Betts And Anna Scullie’s Relationship Timeline
Eddie Betts and Anna Scullie were dating for a long time before they married in August 2015. It was a surprise ceremony planned by Betts on her 30th birthday.
The occasion began as a celebration for Anna’s 30th birthday in Public CBD in the city, but Eddie stunned everyone, including his fiancée, by organizing a wedding ceremony.
The couple had two young kids, Lewis and Billy, before getting married. Eddie, unbeknownst to Anna, carried out the plans with the assistance of a few acquaintances.
The wedding was attended by family, friends, as well as Adelaide teammates and coaches.
The couple is happily married for over 6 years now with five little children. We can follow them on Instagram to get more insight into their day-to-day life.
Eddie Betts and Anna Scullie Have Five Children
Eddie Betts, 35, and Anna Scullie, mid-30s, are parents of three sons and a twin daughter. The couple gave birth to their youngest son in December 2020.
Their twin daughters turned four this year, while their two eldest sons are above five years.
Lewis, Billy, and twins Alice and Maggie were their prior children. The family frequently goes on vacation and their family pictures are extremely adorable.
While announcing their pregnancy, Betts acknowledges his wife and stated that his wife is a superwoman. Betts admitted it was a difficult decision to leave his family in Melbourne, especially because his wife was halfway through her pregnancy, on Fox Footy’s AFL 360.
“I knew she was pregnant before I came into the hub. So it made the choice to come and play footy up here a lot tougher knowing she’s back home, pregnant.”
“Putting up with four wild Betts kids running around the house and home educating and running two companies as well,” Betts told AFL 360.
“I’m not sure how she does it. She is a Superwoman and a Supermother. I suppose if I were in that scenario, I wouldn’t be able to do it.
“I know she’ll be watching tonight, so Anna: I just wanted to thank you for everything you do; I adore you… Then the children go to bed so that mother may enjoy a night off.”
Betts stated that it was “up in the air” if he would be able to spend time with his family in the following months.
