Lisa Curry has shared a glimpse at the heart-melting moment she met her daughter Morgan Gruell’s newborn baby Taj for the first time, following his birth on Thursday.
On Monday, the Olympian, 58, shared several Instagram photos of herself beaming while holding the tiny newborn in her arms, while congratulating her daughter and son-in-law Ryan on the birth of their second son.
It was a bittersweet moment for Lisa, who only days earlier had paid tribute to her ‘beautiful’ daughter Jaimi following her tragic death aged 33 in September.
So sweet: Lisa Curry has shared a string of sweet photos as she met her daughter Morgan Gruell’s baby Taj for the first time following his birth on Thursday. It was a bittersweet moment for Lisa, who days earlier paid tribute to her daughter Jaimi following her death in September
Alongside the smiling photos, Lisa wrote: ‘IT’S A BOY! Taj Grant Gruell arrived safely into this world last Thursday, 5th November 2020, 8lb 4oz (for the oldies like me who can relate better to pounds!!)
‘A beautiful second son for my Morgan and Ryan and little bro for Flynn …. baby spam coming. Congratulations Morgan, Ryan and Flynn xxxxxx.’
In the pictures, Lisa was seen cradling the cherubic tot as she grinned at the camera, while also posing with her daughter Morgan and her two-year-old son, Flynn.

A grandmother again! Alongside the photos, she wrote: ‘A beautiful second son for my Morgan and Ryan and little bro for Flynn… baby spam coming!’
In the same hour, Lisa also shared a picture montage of herself and Morgan as she celebrated turning 30.
Lisa captioned the montage with: ‘HAPPY 30th BIRTHDAY to my baby girl Morgan … lots of love and happiness beautiful.’
The touching post comes just days after Lisa posted a very different message on Instagram – a tribute to her daughter Jaimi, who died just months earlier.
Welcome to the world! Morgan and her husband Ryan welcomed Taj Grant on November 5
‘I miss my baby girl… it’s so quiet without her,’ she wrote.
‘Each day seems a bit of a blur but I get through it … feeling empty.. it’s hard to even think.. my mind consumed as to what else I could have done to help…’
Jaimi died on September 14 at Sunshine Coast University Hospital, after a long battle with alcoholism and an eating disorder.
Earlier this month, Lisa revealed some of the warning signs she noticed in her daughter’s behaviour prior to her death.

In posts shared to the ‘Happy Hormones’ Facebook group, Lisa explained that Jaimi had struggled with her health for years after being diagnosed with a ‘chemical imbalance’ aged 15.
‘Sometimes, an individual, even adults like us, can disregard little red flags, thinking it doesn’t matter or won’t matter,’ the grieving mother wrote.
‘I know people want to know why and how [Jaimi died], but it’s not important at this time, or maybe ever, I don’t know.’
‘What I will say though is that Jeff diagnosed her with a chemical imbalance 18 years ago when we started to see some tiny red flags,’ she added, referring to Jeff Butterworth, a naturopath who specialises in hormonal disorders.
