Outback Wrangler star Matt Wright has been released from prison, narrowly missing the birth of his newborn son.
The celebrity crocodile wrangler was jailed in December for perverting the course of justice over a 2022 helicopter crash that killed his friend and co-star Chris Wilson and severely injured pilot Sebastian Robinson.
He was handed a 10-month sentence, suspended after five, with a two-year good behaviour bond after a jury found him guilty of two counts of perverting the course of justice.
Wright is appealing the convictions.
“Finally home with my family after one hell of a fight,” Wright wrote in an Instagram post, alongside an image of himself, his two older children and his wife Kaia cradling their newborn.
“Didn’t quite make the birth of our beautiful boy Sterling but @kaiawright1 did an incredible job.”

It’s understood Kaia gave birth to the couple’s third child just hours before the Outback Wrangler was released from jail, after her attempts to secure an early release from NT authorities for her husband on compassionate grounds failed.
