Melissa and Bryce’s love story began on Married At First Sight in the year 2020, Melissa a shy workplace trainer who had never been on a date before and Bryce a radio announcer who was looking for “a white picket fence.”

As luck would have it, he found it in Melissa! As even though they got married on the show, they also got married in real life two years later.

Announcing to New Idea exclusively their engagement the year before, plus… twins that were on the way!

In 2021 the couple welcomed their twins into the world ten weeks early, and they shared with New Idea all the details regarding their unexpected arrival.

“We had planned to spend the weekend building the nursery and setting things up for the twins, but that all changed early Saturday morning,” Bryce said at the time.

He went on, “Even though the boys have arrived early, they’re doing really well and are getting the best care possible.”

Months later after their birth, the former reality TV star shared a video of one of his sons crying while lying on his lap on his Instagram story.

“For anyone that only likes to post positive/loving videos of their babies portraying them to be happy 24/7,” he began.

“Here’s the reality… This is Levi after the twins visited the doctor this morning. Both are sick. Both are teething, and both are a little grumpy.

“As a result. I could have posted a happy baby to show them being little angels like they usually are but instead, I am showing the reality of having sick babies,” he wrote.

Luckily, despite enduring their cold, the twins were able to lighten up when their mum Melissa Rawson made them laugh by flipping her hair back and forth.

“Would never know these two are sick,” he wrote alongside the footage.

Lis shared more details about what her “little bubbas” are going through.

She posted a picture of one of the twins rugged up on their way to the doctors, which they originally visited “to get their immunisations.”

But when the nurse heard “their intense coughs,” she called in their doctor, who pushed out his other appointments to test the boys for COVID, but luckily, they tested negative.

“We have a follow-up appointment tomorrow and now awaiting the results.

“We were advised it is likely RSV [respiratory syncytial virus) or Bronchiolitis. As they are prem bubs with respiratory challenges, we’re monitoring their breathing round the clock,” she explained.

Updating their concerned fans, “we went to the doctors for the third time and yes they do have RSV which has led to Bronchiolitis.”
