He’s a proud father to two adorable young boys.
And on Thursday, retired AFL star Jimmy Bartel shared a string of sweet photos of his sons Aston, four, and Henley, two, as they dressed in full Marvel costumes for book week.
The 36-year-old unveiled Aston on Instagram donning an elaborately detailed Iron Man costume for the annual school event – before revealing Henley had whipped on a Hulk outfit, as he ‘didn’t want to feel left out’.

‘Like I had a choice for book week – “I’m Iron Man, dad!”‘ Jimmy hilariously wrote alongside a snap of Aston, who dramatically raised his hand in the air just like the well-known superhero.
‘Hulk didn’t want to be left out,’ Jimmy added, showing little Henley punching his fists together next to his older brother in full costume.
The two boys had already donned the same outfits just days earlier, when they celebrated Henley’s second birthday – with dad Jimmy dressing up as Captain America for the occasion.

Adorable! Jimmy also shared a sweet snap of himself showing his son a picture of The Hulk on a cushion – leaving the two-year-old ecstatic
‘Avengers Assemble!!!! All sorted for Hullllllkys (Henley) 2nd Birthday,’ Jimmy said at the time.
Jimmy shares his two gorgeous children with former WAG Nadia Bartel. The pair announced their split last year, and Jimmy is now dating Lauren Mand.
Nadia – who is believed to have found love with personal trainer Nathan Brodie – threw her own birthday party for little Henley days earlier.

Sticking with his theme, she supplied her son with an incredible cake in the shape of The Hulk’s hand.
Nadia captioned the set of photos and video: ‘Early birthday celebrations tonight for my baby boy.
‘A little different in Covid but still just as special and big love to @nikoscakes @dp_swag for the best ‘hulk smash’ cake. Henley absolutely loved it’.
