Life looks pretty different these days for Ellia Green. At the tail end of last year, the Olympic athlete announced his retirement from sport after a glittering decade-long career. Then, in February, he and partner Vanessa Turnbull-Roberts welcomed their first child, a daughter, Waitui. Now, instead of his days revolving around training, Green’s focus is on his family. It’s a shift that’s brought him a simple, satisfying happiness.
“My weekday routine includes waking up to my baby Waitui and making my beautiful partner, Vanessa, a coffee,” he says. “My joy is in making Waitui laugh and watching every Toy Story movie ever made on repeat. I cook the girls dinner at night, do my gym session and then sleep.”
