It comes after the pair revealed they had suffered two devastating miscarriages prior to welcoming their daughter.
"I had two miscarriages prior, one like the month before I fell pregnant with our little girl now and our problem was definitely not getting pregnant, just trying to hold on to it," Taylia told The Herald Sun recently.
"It is pretty scary, the whole process, until she's born, and we get to hold her I don't think that anxiety will go away because you never know what can happen."
Himmelberg added: "There is a stigma about it and the doctors said it's quite common and were really positive, which eased our mind as well."
Himmelberg, who hails from Wagga Wagga, made his AFL debut back in 2016.
He is the brother of Elliott Himmelberg, 26, who plays for the Gold Coast Suns.
