Christian and Bella Petracca are expecting their first child.

Aussie rules footballer Christian Petracca and his wife Bella shared their baby news on Instagram with a selfie. Standing on the beach and holding up a sonogram, the caption reads: “Baby boy on the way.”

The pair got married in December 2024 in Melbourne. After a two-year engagement. Christian proposed to his girlfriend Bella, a Melbourne lawyer, in Lake Como, Italy, in 2022.

For the better part of 2024, Christian spent time recovering from several serious injuries following the Melbourne Demons clash against Collingwood on the King’s Birthday. As well as breaking 4 ribs, the football star’s life was on the line with both a lacerated spleen and a punctured lung. He has since made a full recovery

As of late 2025, the couple relocated to Queensland following Christian’s move from the Melbourne Demons to the Gold Coast Suns. With a baby on the way, it looks like they’re settling in there for the long haul!

Christian and Bella have kept the baby’s due date private, but fans of the footballer are more curious about whether their son will be following in his father’s footsteps.

Alongside a flood of comments congratulating the couple from Melbourne and Queensland teammates alike, one fan wrote “project petracca jr begins now.”

Australian Survivor star Brooke Jowett and ultra runner Chris Cavanaugh have announced they’re expecting again!

After welcoming their first daughter, Parker, in September 2023, the couple are expecting their second bundle of joy to arrive in November 2026!

In a new Instagram reel with Chris and daughter Parker, Brooke smiled to camera with a hand on her baby bump and an ultrasound in hand. “A little more chaos, a whole lot more love,” write Brooke revealed in the caption, writing “#babytwo”.

The announcement comes not long after Brooke has returned from filming Australian Survivor: Redemption — her third time appearing on the game show. While she has teased returning for the fourth time, it looks like she might be taking a break if the new baby has anything to do with it!

As with Parker, Brooke and Chris haven’t disclosed the gender of their little one. But if their to continue the tradition of gender-neutral names that runs in their family, we won’t be surprised if their future bub’s name is on our unisex baby names list.

Big Miracles stars Sheila, 49, and Tyson are expecting baby number 2... and yes, it’s every bit the miracle you’d hope for.
Big Miracles stars Sheila, 49, and Tyson are expecting baby number 2… and yes, it’s every bit the miracle you’d hope for.

“Today, we have something so exciting to share… we are pregnant again! 💛 I am 17 weeks with baby number two,” Sheila revealed. Using the same donor as before, this pregnancy came from one of the three embryos they had left after welcoming their son Phoenix in 2024.

Sheila, who will give birth three months shy of 50, admits it wasn’t a decision made lightly. “I was not attached to the outcome, but I was devoted to the process. I needed to know, in my heart and soul, that I had followed it through.”

The first trimester tested her limits. Exhaustion like she’d never known forced her to slow down, be intentional, and guard her energy fiercely. “My time and energy are sacred,” she writes. And already, this baby is shaping her into a calmer, more focused version of herself.

Big Miracles stars Sheila, 49, and Tyson are expecting baby number 2... and yes, it’s every bit the miracle you’d hope for.

Sheila is clear about not glamorising late motherhood but she’s proving it’s possible. “Late blooming is not a consolation prize. It is often the result of years of healing, courage, and shedding what no longer serves,” she says. “For so long, becoming a mother felt out of reach for me, and now I find myself here again.”

Their path has been public and raw as they appeared on the reality series Big Miracles. From heartbreak over age-related infertility and failed IVF rounds, to the tough decision to use donor eggs, Sheila and Tyson’s journey has been anything but easy.

To women quietly considering the donor path, Sheila’s message is simple: “Every fear dissolves when your child arrives. What remains is love.”

Sheila is due mid-August.

Sarah Abo, 40, became emotional as she shared the happy news live on air on March 11. “I’m going to try and fail to maintain my composure. But yes, Cyrus and I are expecting a little baby,” she said.

While the news is joyful, Sarah revealed the road to pregnancy hasn’t been easy.

“It hasn’t been the easiest journey to get here… It’s not as easy as you sometimes think that pregnancy will be,” she said. “So, it has been a bit of a bumpy ride, but here we are.”

“As much as I’d like to bury my head in the sand and not address it… we’re almost halfway now.”

Her co-host Karl Stefanovic also became teary while congratulating the couple.

“I work next to you every day, and I know you had some dramas… your strength and courage during that was unbelievable,” he said.

Sarah also spoke openly about the emotional toll fertility struggles can bring.

“We take so much for granted… when it comes to pregnancy and fertility, we’re almost conditioned to,” she said. “Instead, for some of us, it’s about dodging glances, dodging questions, submitting to appointment after appointment, test after test, jab after jab.”

She hopes sharing her story will help create more understanding.

“I wish there was a bit more awareness, education and less stigma… hopefully talking about it more helps.”
