Today show star Renée Bargh reveals huge wedding news after welcoming second child with Andrew Lange
Renée Bargh has revealed huge wedding news with her long-time partner Andrew Lange.
The happy couple announced their engagement in March just one month after welcoming their second child Soléil.
However, the Today show star, 38, revealed in the latest Stellar issue walking down the aisle is not an immediate 'priority' for the couple.
'My parents have been together for 40 years and they are not married,' she told the publication.
'We met later in life and I really wanted to have kids, so that was the priority. I have never cared about a big wedding.'
Having watched many friends overcome with stress planning their nuptials, Renée added her big day would be a casual affair.
'I've got so many friends that have had weddings in the last couple of years and I just watched them completely crumble in the stress and anxiety of it,' she said.
She went on to say a wedding should be a stress-free affair, and she plans to tie the knot with Andrew 'when it feels right'.
The veteran TV presenter, confirmed the exciting news on social media back in March by sharing a precious gallery of photos of them together.
'When I first met Andrew he told me of the Japanese phrase "Koi No Yokan" - the premonition of love, the feeling upon meeting someone you will eventually fall in love with them,' Renée began.
'From the moment we met, we knew. A few years and two babies later I couldn't be more excited to do forever with you. I love this life we've created and our little family so much.'
In the stunning set of photos, Renée and Andrew radiated pure happiness as they shared a passionate kiss at sunset.
She also flaunted her dazzling engagement ring to the camera, which featured an emerald-cut diamond set in a gold band.
The happy news came one month after Renée gave birth to her second child.
The entertainment reporter took to social media to share images of her newborn daughter and reveal the bub's unique name.
'Soléil James Lange. Our beautiful sunshine girl joined us earthside a week early in the most magical birth,' she continued.
'Born peacefully at home in the water, surrounded by love.'
Renée then went on to thank her partner Andrew, writing: 'My love, my anchor and the most incredible birth partner, we did it!'
Entertainment figures were quick to offer their congratulations to the red carpet fixture.
'Congrats darling x,' wrote Bec Judd.
'She's here! Amazing! You did it. So happy for you guys. She is perfect,' added Mortal Kombat actress Jessica McNamee.
'Congratulations beautiful,' The Bachelor and Home and Away alum Sam Frost added.
Renée revealed her second pregnancy at last year's Logie Awards as she debuted her baby bump on the red carpet.

'Tradwife' Nara Smith hits back at fans who criticise her for being pregnant with her fourth child at the age of 23
'Tradwife' Nara Smith has hit back at critics who have slammed the social media sensation for being pregnant with her fourth child at the age of 23. The US-based influencer revealed this week she was expecting baby number four with her model husband Lucky Blue Smith. The beauty also shares Rumble, four, Slim Easy, three, and Whimsy Lou, one, with Lucky, 27 - whom she tied the knot with in 2020. Following their pregnancy announcement, she took to Instagram to answer fan questions about the impending arrival. Nara wasted no time hitting back at her critics who slammed her for glamourising teen pregnancy and also claimed she was secretly a Mormon. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. She revealed in the clip she hid her pregnancy from social media for six months to avoid incessant internet chatter. 'I'm about six months now, which is crazy to say, and no I didn't pre-record any of my videos - it's just good angles, outfits and sucking in my stomach,' she said. 'I waited to share for as long as I felt like I could because I knew that people were going to have all kinds of opinions and I had to get used to the idea of having another kid, since I was mentally prepped to be done after Whimsy.' While Lucky's family belong to the Church of Latter Day Saints, Nara added she did not subscribe to the Mormon religion. 'No, I'm not having this many kids because I'm Mormon - I'm not Mormon,' she admitted. 'I just wanted to be a young mum and do everything while I was really young and that's just a personal preference.' It was a sentiment Nara shared in a previous TikTok where she also addressed the claims. 'I know that my religion is a very hot topic on the internet,' she said. 'I waited to share for as long as I feel like I could because I knew that people were going to have all kinds of opinions and I had to get used to the idea of having another kid since I'm mentally prepped to be done after Whimsy,' she said 'I don't know what I'm doing, I'm still learning and figuring out my own faith. I'm not in any way a hardcore Mormon or anything like that. I don't wear garments. I didn't get married in the temple.' Nara's post was met with a flurry of comments from fans and followers with some making light of Nara and Lucky's penchant for unique names. 'Can't wait to meet Maple Cinnamon Tootsie Roll Smith,' one quipped, which many agreed was a 'cute' moniker for baby number four. Others were quick to praise the young mum with the likes of: 'God forbid someone wants to grow a family and just live their best life!!! You are amazing queen.' Another offered a similar: 'She's leaving the Married by 25 have all kids by DREAM Literally. Nara announce the news of baby number four in a sweet Instagram post earlier this week. In the short reel, the couple could be seen standing outside as the warm sun shone down on them. Nara wore an off-the-shoulder, cream blouse as well as a white maxi skirt as she strolled over to her husband. She then showed off her growing baby bump by cradling her stomach as Lucky lovingly embraced her. Nara and Lucky recently opened up about their family and said at the time they were done having children. During an interview with GQ, Lucky told his wife amid the joint interview: 'Well, we have three. So, you're done.' Nara then replied to her husband - who is also father to daughter Gravity with ex Stormi Bree - with: 'Yep, I'm done.' However, Lucky also pointed out to the Nara: 'You did want six. When we first met, you wanted six.' In regards to welcoming children at a young age, Nara - who was 19 when the couple welcomed their first child Rumble - said: 'And it worked out great. I love being a young mom.' Nara is also known for her lifestyle and cooking content on social media - and boasts millions of followers.

NRL player Matt Allwood who became a TV star suffers horror spinal injury in tackle gone wrong
Former Canberra Raiders and New Zealand Warriors star Matt Allwood is awaiting surgery after suffering a serious spinal injury during a match last Saturday. The 32-year-old - who also starred in the most recent season of Alone Australia on SBS - was badly hurt when he stopped a rival player from scoring a try while playing his first match for the Dora Creek Swampies. The club, which is located on the NSW central coast, has launched an appeal to help the father of three, who is currently unable to work. 'Matt Allwood - a proud father, husband and incredible football player took the field as a Swampie for the first time on Saturday against Waratah,' the club wrote. 'As Matt made an incredible try saving tackle, he unfortunately injured himself, sustaining a very serious spinal injury. 'Matt has an uncertain road to recovery, and is unable to work as he is still awaiting to find out the full extent of his injuries and awaiting surgery, this certainly will put a strain on the young family.' The former Raiders and Warriors player (pictured with his family) was badly hurt while he made a try-saving tackle The Raiders - where Allwood played in 2014 before switching to the Warriors - also directed their fans to the fundraiser on social media. Allwood appeared on Alone Australia earlier this year, with the show challenging Aussies to survive for as long as possible after being dropped off in separate wilderness areas where they are devoid of human contact. He lasted 16 days in the bush in the rugged West Coast Range of Tasmania as he competed against nine others. 'To be honest, I was rattled,' he said after returning to civilisation. 'It was too much being out there on my own away from my family with no contact.' After the show aired, his wife Ainsely posted a heartfelt message to him on Facebook. ''SO BLOODY PROUD OF YOU MATTY!!' she wrote. 'Anyone sitting at home on their couch watching, thinking they could do better, go on. APPLY!! 'Like to see you not eat for 10 days. 'Longest 1st tap out in the history of Alone Australia and 2nd longest tap out in history of the whole Alone Series!' Allwood's upbringing on a NSW cattle farm was great preparation for the show, and his Instagram account is full of videos and photos of him practising his bushcraft. 'Growing up, I didn't watch Bob the Builder - I was out hunting grandpa's rabbits,' he told the Warriors.

Married At First Sight star Martha Kalifatidis sparks speculation she is pregnant with confusing Instagram post
Martha Kalifatidis sent fans into a frenzy on Wednesday after a confusing social media post had them questioning if she was expecting another baby. The former Married At First Sight star, 37, gave her Instagram followers a sneak peek of a fashion event she attended last week. The dinner, which was hosted by Aussie brand VRG GRL, welcomed the likes of celebrity hair guru Gabrielle Roccuzzo, stylist Jess Pecoraro and content creator Emily Yates. Martha, who already shares son Lucius with fiancé Michael Brunelli, stunned in a bright red button-up top, which she stylishly paired with baggy jeans, blue strappy heels and chunky Anna Rossi bangles on her arms. In the photo dump, the reality star shared pictures of the dimly lit restaurant, bowls of ravioli pasta and her glamorous friends - as well as a photo of a pregnant belly dressed in the same red cardigan. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Fans of the MAFS star flooded the comments section to point out the picture, speculating whether the photo was of Martha and if she was in fact pregnant. 'Who else ran straight to the comments to see if they saw what they think they saw....' one person wrote of the suggestive snap. 'Congrats if you're preggas…' one fan sweetly wrote, while another penned: 'The baby is coming.' Another sent Martha well-wishes, writing: 'Queen you're so brave and wish you all the besssssst with this pregnancy.' 'Did I just see a 'bump',' another asked. It didn't take long for one fan to figure out that the belly didn't belong to Martha, but rather her friend and influencer Oriwa LeFevre, who wore the same top on the night out. 'It's @oriwa everyone, you nearly got us Martha,' the fan wrote. This isn't the first time pregnancy rumours have swirled around the social media personality. In January, Martha addressed rumours she is expecting her second child in an Instagram post, giving her fans a glimpse at her idyllic vacation in Thailand with fiancé Michael Brunelli and the couple's young son, Lucius. In the caption, she told her fans she'd been offline as she was on holiday, after going two weeks without posting to Instagram. 'Hi everyone. I'm not pregnant (thanks for asking though),' she wrote in her caption alongside the series of images. 'I was just having some time off in Thailand. It was swell, missed you all,' she continued. In the photos, Martha showed off her figure in a black swimsuit as she enjoyed a soak with her toddler. She also kicked back on a boat, as well as working her angles in the shallows of the turquoise ocean.
