Today, New Idea exclusively revealed that Married At First Sight’s Cyrell Paule and Love Island’s Eden Dally were expecting their first child together, but instead of receiving well wishes, the couple has faced another round of speculation – which Cyrell promptly shut down.

When the news hit social media, most fans were ecstatic for the reality TV couple, with former MAFS alumni (and Jessika Power’s boyfriend) Nick Furphy writing: “Congrats @dallyeden and @cyrelljimenezpaule. I’m happy for you guys.”
“Maybe it’s not fake…” another fan wrote, referencing rumours fuelled by Cyrell’s ex-best friend Elizabeth Sobinoff that Eden and Cyrell’s relationship had been a publicity stunt.
However, for every good comment, it seems there is an equally horrible one.
“Been together for a hot minute 🤧,” wrote one social media user.
“[I feel] sorry for the baby,” another commented.

Despite the influx of negative comment, it was one particularly nasty accusation that made Cyrell lash out.
“Fake child born to two desperate people who can’t stay in the spotlight except when making fools of themselves,” the Instagram user began.
“Or an illegitimate child being born to an idiot who will leave the mother for something better and not the missing link.”
OH. OK.
“I’d donate to u getting some common sense but clearly no money could buy that,” Cyrell write back, ending her retort with a ‘laughing’ emoji.
Sitting down with New Idea, the Cyrell, 30, and Eden, 26, dished all the details on their unborn bub, revealing the moment they found out they were gping to be parents.
“I was on my phone and I got this text,” Eden shared.
“She said, “Eden, I’m pregnant, and I’m like, “What?” I didn’t know what to feel. I was a bit in shock and took a while to process it. Then we spoke and I said, “Whatever you want to do, I’ll support you and be there for the child.” It wasn’t expected. But it’s happening, I’m excited and I can’t wait to have this little baby.”
“I’ll be honest, it was not planned,” Cyrell revealed.
I was freaked out thinking about Eden’s reaction. Then my friend settled me down and I thought, “What did I want?” We went to the shops and I bought three pregnancy tests. I screamed and cried! Then I went and bought a fourth one. It sunk in eventually.”
Cyrell continued: “I’ve got nothing against it, but for me, I don’t have the strength to have an abortion. So I knew, then, I’m having a baby!”
Congratulations you two!
