Congratulations are in order for The Block stars Courtney and Grant Freeman, who are expecting their first child!
The married couple, who worked tirelessly on House 2 in 2024, shared the news on August 26, via Instagram.
“Carrying a little extra baggage this Europe trip 👶🏻🐣,” they captioned the sweet post, with a gallery.

Other stars from the show have rushed to offer their congratulations.
“Agh so beautiful ! Congratulations you guys 😍,” Steph Oottavio gushed.
“Best news, congrats team ❤️,” Eliza and Liberty commented.
The Block host Shelley Craft, also wrote: “❤️❤️❤️❤️that’s such wonderful news! I’m so delighted for you both.”
Their 2024 co-stars Maddy and Charlotte, who won season 20, also shared their congratulations.
After the 2024 season wrapped up, the couple exclusively told New Idea that they wanted to start a family.
“That was on the cards before The Block, but we put it on hold. So, we’d love to continue doing that,” Courtney explained.
The couple pocketed $1.35 million during the auction, and had no regrets.
“We had a vision from the start,” Grant said. “I have no regrets about what we did – I’d do it all again tomorrow if I could.
“We were adamant from day one that we would always be ourselves – the good, the bad, and the ugly.”
The couple’s four-bedroom, three-bathroom house consistently received good feedback from all three judges.
Given how well they did, Courtney and Grant admitted that they would happily return for an All-Stars season. In fact, they already asked production to bring them back!
“Send me the contract!” Grant said with a laugh.
The Blockheads say they would also be open to doing other reality shows, such as The Amazing Race and Australian Survivor.
Since filming ended, the couple have been focusing on their furniture business, The Lazy Stylist. They even used a few pieces in their house on Phillip Island, and Courtney says the exposure on the show has been helpful for business.
“I’m so grateful for The Block and the exposure it’s given me,” she shares. “Like, it was a real ‘pinch me’ moment!”
