Congratulations to The Block stars Dan Reilly and Dani Wales, who have welcomed their second child.
The Channel Nine show’s foreman and his wife took to Instagram on April 14 to share a gallery of adorable photographs of their baby boy.
In a caption, they confirmed his name, writing, “Fletcher James Reilly. Our perfect boy. 10.04.26.”
Their first child, a daughter called Billie Vera Reilly, tragically passed away in December 2024 following birth complications, and the couple have spoken openly about the loss.
After the news of Fletcher’s birth, their Block family were quick to take to the comments section to share some heartfelt words with the couple.
Shelley Craft wrote, “Magic moment. Congratulations. He’s the luckiest little man to have been given you two as his parents and Billie as his guardian angel. Cannot wait to see you all.”
Britt and Taz commented, “Oh my goodness, congratulations Danni & Dan, he’s absolutely perfection. Billie’s little brother.”
Winners Maddy and Charlotte added, “The biggest congratulations beautiful fam! Billie’s little brother 🥹✨ so so precious! So incredibly happy for you!”
Dan and Dani announced the happy news that they were expecting another child in November 2025.
They paid tribute to their late daughter, Billie, in a heartfelt Instagram post as they confirmed the news.
“As sure as the sun rises and sets each day, she is with us for this next chapter… 🟢,” they wrote, alongside a photo of the pair at the beach at sunset.
“Billie’s sibling coming 2026 ☀️. To those navigating pregnancy and infant loss, IVF, and fertility challenges — we see you.”
In the past, Dan and Dani have bravely spoken about the loss of their daughter, Billie Vera Reilly.
She passed away at just 10 days old in December 2024 following birth complications.
“It is with insurmountable grief that we share the news that our daughter Billie, has passed on from this life and into the next at just 10 days young,” they wrote on Instagram at the time.
“It’s clear to us that Billie was far too good for this world but if we know anything for sure, it’s that Billie’s legacy will make an impact greater than all of us.
“In Billie’s short time in this world, she taught us an intensity of both love and pain we never knew possible. She taught us what really matters. Billie was so wanted, so loved and she made us parents… and what an honour it is to be her mummy and daddy. She will always be our daughter.”
In her honour, they founded Billie’s Besties, to support The Royal Women’s Hospital’s Newborn Intensive Care Unit in Melbourne.
