The sporting couple, who already have three boys – Marco, Fox and Rocco – announced the news on social media.

“My family is everything to me… my happiness and my greatest success,” Dan Carter posted to Instagram.

“We couldn’t be happier to announce we’re expecting baby number 4.”

He described his wife and former Black Stick as a “superwoman, Mum and wife”.

The Carters, who were married in 2011, welcomed Marco into the world two years later, with Fox born in 2015 and Rocco’s arrival coming in 2019.

Dan Carter, who turns 39 next month, has made no official announcement of his rugby retirement. He called time on his international career following the All Blacks 2015 Rugby World Cup victory.

He made a shock return to Super Rugby for the Blues last season but never took to the field.

His last game was for his beloved Southbridge club in the Ellesmere rugby competition in September last year.

Carter is arguably the greatest ever rugby player, certainly in the flyhalf position.

He played 112 Tests for the All Blacks, scoring a world leading 1 598 points. He also played 141 Super Rugby matches for the Crusaders, scoring a tournament-leading 1 708 points.

Honor Carter (nee Dillon) retired after playing 68 tests for the Black Sticks between 2004 and 2011.
