Buddy Franklin’s model wife Jesinta reveals plans to impact AFL after becoming licensed player’s agent
Lance ‘Buddy’ Franklin’s model wife Jesinta has revealed her intention to make an impact in the AFL after becoming a licensed player’s agent in July.
The glamorous AFL WAG, 31, said she took the AFL Players’ Association accreditation course last year so she could use her new skills when the time came.
“I haven’t done anything with it yet. I probably won’t do anything until the kids are in school,’ the mother-of-two told the Herald Sun.
“I did my accreditation to learn a bit more about the industry, broaden my understanding and get to know a bit of the landscape.
“There are certainly plans for this, but nothing immediately,” she added.

Jesinta started FranklinFinch Management last year with husband Lance ‘Buddy’ Franklin, 36, and business manager Adam Finch.
Last year, The Daily Telegraph reported that Jesinta and Buddy were considering founding a local version of rapper Jay Z’s management company, Roc Nation, which represents some of the world’s most high-profile athletes.
Roc Nation was established in 2008 and represents a mix of athletic and musical talent, including NBA star LaMelo Ball and R&B singer Rihanna.
The company, which has offices in Los Angles, New York and London, is said to be worth a colossal $140 million US ($203 million AUD).
“I haven’t done anything with it yet. I probably won’t do anything until the kids are in school,” she said. Pictured: The Franklins with daughter Tullulah and son son Rocky in 2022
According to The Daily Telegraph, Jesinta also wants a career outside of modeling and the opportunity to become an entrepreneur is particularly attractive.
According to reports, Buddy has previously considered joining Miranda Kerr’s talent firm IMG, whose athletic clients include Commonwealth Games gold medalist Cody Simpson and tennis champion Jelena Dokic.
Sports management agencies have huge revenue potential if they can attract high profile clients and one run by power couple Buddy and Jesinta would be appealing to many athletes.
Jesinta has a long-standing interest in the sport, particularly the AFL, and has publicly expressed his views on several issues affecting the game.
