Kerry and Johnny have been talking about and excited for a baby for YEARS!
Back in April 2021, prior to the season eight bombshell reunion, they spoke to New Idea about their hopes for the future at the time.
“We’re in a really good place – we’re spending a lot of time together,” Johnny said.
“I came into this thinking that I probably wasn’t going to have kids,” Kerry admitted, saying that Johnny had changed her perspective, thanks to his paternal and protective nature.
“I see how important family is for him and how good he is with his nieces and nephews,” she said
“I also just trust that he would be the best dad.”
Johnny added: “All I can do is sit back and smile from ear to ear after hearing that”.
The Queensland-based couple, both 33-year-old divorcees, has felt like a perfect match from the minute they laid eyes on each other.
“From the start, he was my teammate. We established from the first day that we would have each other’s backs,” Kerry said of Johnny.
Kerry and Johnny moved in together in June 2021 and they later married at the start of 2023, going on Instagram to share their exciting news.
“💍 MR & MRS BALBUZIENTE 💍 05.01.23,” they wrote in a joint post.
Kerry and Johnny have continued to update fans on their relationship since leaving the show, sharing sweet moments and little milestones.
