Reality TV couple Laura Byrne and Matty Johnson are *this* close to becoming new parents to their very own ‘Bachelor baby’, with Laura announcing on her Instagram with a relaxed shot in Sydney’s eastern suburbs, that this would (hopefully) be her last pregnancy post.
The new arrival will be the first child for Laura and Matty J, who met on the 2017 season of The Bachelor Australia.
WATCH! Matty J and Laura Byrne try going for a walk to help Laura’s water break!
Posting a photo on social media, Laura was all smiles in a pair of leggings and a grey jumper as she walked with the couples pet puppy.
“Got everything crossed (except my legs) that this will be my last preggo post 🤞🏻”, the season 5 winner wrote.
It seems the soon-to-be first-time parents are hoping a nice walk will help their bub make its debut into the world, as Laura – who is currently 39 weeks pregnant – also posted a video of her and her man walking near the beach.
“Just a little update on this baby and he or she does not want to budge!” Matty tells the camera as his fiancée laughs behind him.
Matty continues: “So we’re going for a little walk, and hopefully that will kickstart Laura’s waters breaking!”
Baby news isn’t the only thing Laura and Matty are celebrating at the moment.
The couple got engaged on their recent ‘Babymoon’ with Laura sharing a sweet shot of the moment on social media.
She captioned the photo: “You are my favourite everything @matthewdavidjohnson. YES to a lifetime of love and flamboyant dance moves with you my honey.”
Last December, the celebrity couple announced they were expecting their first child by sharing pictures of Laura’s pregnancy scan with the words: “WE’RE HAVING A BABY!!!”
‘I couldn’t think of a better way to end the year,’ 31-year-old Matty told the Daily Telegraph at the time.
The news was bittersweet for the loved up duo as 32-year-old Laura heartbreakingly revealed she had suffered a miscarriage in June last year.
In January, Laura showed off her burgeoning baby bump while wearing a black leotard in a social media selfie.
And in April, Matty and Laura threw a lavish baby shower at Sydney’s glamorous Watson’s Bay Boutique Hotel.
The Bachelor stars – who have kept the gender of their little one strictly under wraps – sparked speculation that Laura was carrying a baby boy when pictures surfaced of Marry carrying a framed powder blue onesie.
Gushing about their baby news, Laura took to Instagram to share a photo of the smiling pair with the caption: “Ohhhh BABY!!! Yesterday we celebrated Baby Johnson with all the family, friends and pastel we could muster. I’m so full to the brim of love.”
No word on a potential baby name as yet, but we should be meeting the newest addition to The Bachelor family very soon!
