Lauren Brant and Barry Hall: "We’re having another baby!"

And they know the gender! - by Faye James
  • 06 Dec 2018

It's been a tough 12 months for couple Lauren Brant and Barry Hall, but now the pair are back on track as they reveal the exciting news that they are expecting their second child.

“Yes, we’re 15 weeks pregnant! We have been trying for a baby so it’s great news, it’s a good time to give little Miller a little sibling,” Brant, 29, excitedly reveals.

“It was a bit stressful trying initially but everyone’s advice about not trying is good, because as soon as we stopped thinking about it, we got pregnant,” she adds.

Brant’s eyes light up as she reveals her baby’s gender exclusively to WHO.

Family photos are a little rare these days with Barry living in Melbourne... but if any of you saw any newspapers around Aus today, you would have seen we have been working hard. Barry has jumped in with two new, loyal, companies and I have launched my business @lolibolibylauren 💜 It's been tough but I am so proud of my little family as we take on this next chapter of our lives xxx

“It’s a boy,” she says with a smile, adding he is due on June 1, 2019. “I really wanted to have another boy, so he can play with Miller.”

Former AFL star Hall, 41, is equally thrilled although he was hoping for a little girl. “I wanted a little girl but we’re also mindful that it’s hard to have kids, so as long as it’s healthy, we’re happy,” he adds.

Well we have been going through a lot of changes in the last couple of months and my way of adapting to change is by being incredibly present. Taking each moment as it comes and adjusting to my 'new normal,' and situations I find myself in. . . . The changes have included Barry being away a lot. Which has proven to be incredibly difficult. I dropped him off at the airport tonight and cried for half the day because of it. Yes it's because I love & miss him, but also because he is my absolute strength. He has such a deep & rich sense of self which is so grounding. It constantly makes me consider what the important things in life are to worry about and not. He is my support on so many levels and makes me want to be the best person I can. . . . But the real reason for my tears is because I hate the fact that he has to be away from Miller. They have such a beautiful connection and Miller (even at such a young age) really misses 'Dada.' I can't offer Miller what Barry does and it saddens me that they cant see each other everyday. However, I have to find the strength to look after myself, look after my son and keep kicking the goals I have set out for myself. So that is my plan for this week, to cope with the change through being present in every given moment and be kind to the process. Thank you for letting me share 💕

“Hopefully they can entertain each other. We’ve always had four kids planned, we’re so excited to have baby number two, but we’re super busy with Miller too,” he continues.

Hall in particular has had a tough year after falling from grace following those on-air comments earlier this year, but he says it’s all behind him now.
