Fans and friends rushed to the comments section to congratulate Dami.
'Awww congratulations fam! This is wonderful news,' country singer Amy Sheppard wrote.
Australian Idol host Ricky-Lee Coulter offered her congratulations, and so did ARIA award-winning vocalist Anthony Callea, who wrote: 'Congratulations to you all Ax.'
Husband and wife pop duo Jess and Matt Price were also quick to send their well wishes.
'So so beautiful! Congratulations beautiful mumma and fam,' they wrote.
Fans and friends rushed to the comments section to congratulate Dami on the family addition
On her Stories, Dami shared a candid photograph of her two-year-old craning over baby Rory's cot to kiss him on the forehead.
'Moments like these,' she captioned the post.
Dami announced that she was expecting in December 2024.
'So…. Harry is going to be a big brother mid next year,' Dami began her caption of a birthday tribute to her eldest son.
'Noah and I can't be more excited. Okay, now that's done back to the normal programming…' she added.
Dami then revealed she was carrying on with her Australian tour, writing, 'Next stop on my Christmas Songbook tour is in French's Forest (Sydney), then Geelong and Melbourne are last! See you there.
Dami has been married to Noah Kim since 2012 and they welcomed their first child Harrison on May 12, 2022.
It comes after Dami opened up about the reality of juggling her successful music career with being a mother to a two-year-old son.
The South Korean-born star has been open about 'sometimes grieving the loss' of her old life before motherhood.
Dami shot to fame when she won the fifth season of the singing competition before representing Australia in the 2016 Eurovision.
At the peak of her successful career, the songstress' life was upended by the birth of her son, whom she shares with husband Noah, reported The Courier Mail.
'Looking back it was a really intense change of everything in my life. It was such a tough transition mentally, emotionally and physically,' Dami told the publication.
She went on to say she feared her singing career would tank after the birth of Harrison, saying her audience may see her as 'just a mum now'.

Kmart shoppers obsess over $30 'dupe' of Victoria Beckham's $800 jeans: 'They look so high-end'
Kmart has just dropped a designer dupe so good, even Posh Spice herself might do a double take. Fashion-savvy Aussie women are rushing in-store and online to snap up the latest must-have wardrobe staple, and for very good reason. The retail giant's $30 Wide Leg Pocket Jeans are flying off the shelves after shoppers noticed their striking resemblance to Victoria Beckham 's cult-favourite (and extremely pricey) $800 Alina Wide Leg Jeans. Right down to the tailored silhouette, oversized patch front pockets, flared bell-bottoms, and flattering high-waisted cut, this 'dupe' is most definitely note-worthy. The Kmart jeans - described as the 'perfect fit' - were originally available in shades Black, Light Wash Blue, Mid Wash Blue, but have now newly launched in a neutral shade called 'Ecru Denim', mimicking Posh's popular style almost exactly. With the temperatures at an all-time low across the country, it's no wonder Kmart have listened to the growing demand this winter with a pair of pants that flatter everyone. Melbourne mum Zeljka Abaza, who regularly shares affordable fashion finds with her 28,000 Instagram followers, has posted a video of herself styling the 'it' jeans in the newly released Ecru Denim colour. 'The must have jeans', she captioned the video, showing how she effortlessly paired the bargain pair with a crisp blue shirt tied up to the neck, and cream boots for a chic, professional look. The retail giant's $30 Wide Leg Pocket Jeans (pictured) are flying off the shelves for being a great 'dupe' of a very popular Victoria Beckham cut The jeans, like Posh's, are crafted from 100 per cent durable cotton perfect for a structured and more tailored look. The resemblance is hard to deny, with Kmart's version offering a near-identical look for less than four per cent of the price. With their structured wide-leg cut, high-rise waist, and oversized patch pockets, they tick every box for comfort, style, and versatility as well as being flattering and forgiving for most body types. The addition of the Ecru shade – a creamy, soft neutral tone – couldn't have come at a better time. As Australians embrace pared-back tones and 'quiet luxury' dressing this winter, this shade is the perfect cool-weather alternative to stark white denim. Dozens of reviews on Kmart's website echo the same sentiment: 'Great style, fit, colour. My favourite jeans,' one raved. 'These are outstanding cut and fit, good quality 100 per cent cotton rigid denim and they are amazing,' another wrote. 'The front pockets are great because they don't add bulk to wider hips… I'm 170cm and these are long,' another noted on the popular style. 'They look so high end,' one suggested. While another added: 'It can be hard to find the perfect white pair of jeans and these look amazing.' Kmart has just dropped a designer dupe so good, even Posh Spice herself might do a double take (pictured wearing her designer wide leg jeans in the butter colour) Melbourne mum Zeljka (pictured wearing the Kmart jeans), who regularly shares affordable fashion finds with her 28,000 Instagram followers, posted a video of herself styling the 'it' jeans in the newly released Ecru Denim colour The resemblance is hard to deny, with Kmart's version offering a near-identical look for less than 4 per cent of the price. Pictured: VB's Alina Wide Leg Jeans With the video of Zeljka's styling racking up tens of thousands of views, it's no wonder stock is moving fast - with some revealing they have been struggling to get their hands on the jeans. 'Out of stock everywhere… all colours,' one said. If you're looking to elevate your winter wardrobe without blowing the budget, you might want to add these jeans to your cart before they sell out. And if 'Mum jeans' are more your style, take this as a little P.S.A, because Kmart have the 'perfect pair' for just $25 right now. Aussie shoppers are rushing to get their hands on the ultra-flattering denim that fans are calling 'the best jeans ever', thanks to a fit that suits every body shape. The classic high-waisted cut, relaxed leg, and just-right amount of stretch are winning over fashionistas across the country after earning a near-perfect 4.5 out of 5 stars. The 'super comfy' jeans are so popular that it has received more than 120 five-star reviews, with many praising them for hugging the waist, smoothing the hips, and giving that effortlessly cool off-duty model vibe. 'This is the third pair I have brought over the past three years. I brought one then realised very quickly that the length and colour were bang on. Couldn't be more happier... Wash super well, slight shrinkage but once you have them on for an hour, back to normal size,' one shopper wrote in a glowing review. 'Perfect fit! I'm a size 20 /172cm tall and usually struggle to find jeans that are high waisted enough but these are brilliant. Hope Kmart keeps making these forever, literally my go-to denim at the moment,' another raved. 'I have worn my first pair to death. They are flattering, comfy, and go with everything. Can wear them cuffed or not. They are such great value for the price,' one shared. The Mum Jeans come in a mid-wash colour, with sizes ranging from 6 to 20 - making them not only stylish but inclusive too.

Gisele Bundchen makes a potentially very dangerous move when taking her baby boy for a stroll in Florida
Gisele Bundchen was seen with her newborn baby boy when taking a stroll alone in Florida on Monday. The siren from Brazil had her third child, whom she shares with partner Joaquim Valente, strapped to her chest in a $366 off-white baby carrier from Zeitgeist Spirit. The 44-year-old Versace model also had her dog's black leash tied around her torso in what is called a 'hands-free leash.' Having both her dog and her baby attached to her body could potentially be dangerous if the canine runs off to chase a squirrel and drags their owner down to the ground. The baby could be hurt. 'Hand leashes are better because if something crazy happens she can always let go of the leash,' a fan said on Reddit. Another added, 'She must really trust that dog!' 'Hands-free leashes could very well put the owner at risk of being toppled over or even dragged by a very large or strong dog,' wrote PetMD. 'If your dog tries to chase a cat or a strange dog approaches and a canine confrontation ensues, the baby would be in danger.' The 44-year-old Versace model also had her dog's black leash tied around her torso in what is called a 'hands-free leash.' Having both her dog and her baby attached to her body could potentially be dangerous if the canine runs off to chase a squirrel and drags their owner down to the ground. The baby could be hurt Gisele has not revealed the first name of her third baby, though People claims the middle name is River. Friends told Daily Mail that Gisele has chosen a first name for her boy that is 'close to her heart' with a family tie. One added the boy may be called Van, which is shortened version of Vânia Nonnenmacher, the name of the model's late mother. He could also be called Valdir, after her father, or Pat, a shortened male version of her twin sister's name, Patricia. The Brazilian star also shares son Benjamin, 15, daughter Vivian, 12, and stepson Jack, 17, with ex-husband Tom Brady. This comes after the bombshell posed for the cover of Vogue France in May. The catwalk veteran shared she is 'back in her rhythm' as she posed for her first shoot since welcoming her third child. In an interview with the publication, Gisele shared she's 'very grateful' she was able to spent so much time with her baby boy after giving birth. She said: 'Having my hair and make-up done makes me feel like I'm on vacation: with a baby, the nights are so short that I've hardly brushed my hair in recent months!' Gisele went onto say: 'Now that my little one is sleeping through the night, I'm back in control of my rhythm. As any new mother knows, it's amazing how much sleep or lack of it can change everything! 'Hand leashes are better because if something crazy happens she can always let go of the leash,' a fan said on Reddit. Another added, 'She must really trust that dog!' 'Hands-free leashes could very well put the owner at risk of being toppled over or even dragged by a very large or strong dog,' wrote PetMD 'But then again, I feel really grateful: being able to be at home with my children and enjoy every moment with them is priceless.' Gisele, who began dating Joaquim in June 2023, went added that following her split from husband Tom, she now feels she's become more resilient. The star added: 'I feel more comfortable in my own skin, and my priorities are clearer. I'm grateful to be where I am. I feel like I've earned it.' In April she posted first snap of her youngest child on Instagram since his February arrival. In the sweet snap, her son's face was nestled into his mother's shoulder and wore an adorable 'I heart Mom' onesie. The post also included a rare snap of Gisele with her children and boyfriend. In the photo, the four shared an embrace whilst the model held her newborn child, whose face was concealed with a red heart emoji. 'I've been quiet over here but very busy living life... Sometimes, the most beautiful moments aren't shared — they're simply lived. Lately, I've been embracing the slower rhythms, the real connections, the beauty in the lessons that come with being present.' Gisele was also particularly missing her mother Vânia Nonnenmacher, who passed at age 75 in January 2024 from cancer. 'Today, on Mother's Day, I specially miss my mom, but my heart is full. Being a mother it's been my greatest gift, a journey that humbles me, teaches me, and fills me with gratitude every single day. 'To all the mothers out there, your love shapes the world in ways words can't describe. I see you, I honor you. Happy mother's day! Sending so much love your way!' In October, Bundchen's pregnancy news was revealed - leaving her ex, Brady, 'stunned' by the revelation. A source recently told how Gisele and Joaquim broke the pregnancy news to Brady. The model informed Tom that she was expecting her first child with Valente shortly after telling their children because she wanted him to hear it from her first rather than through media reports. 'Gisele and Joaquim were not planning to have a child together. This was unexpected. Joaquim has always wanted a family, so she is happy to be able to give this to him,' said a source. 'She knew that he would be a great father when her kids started taking classes with him. He is patient, playful and so understanding,' the insider stated. Both Benjamin and Vivian were 'absolutely thrilled' over the big news, the source also shared.

Media analyst expert reveals the major sign The Project was going to be axed - after Ten confirms exciting new investigative show to take its place
The Project viewers were left stunned this week when Network Ten announced on Monday that their flagship show was getting the axe in three weeks. But leading media analyst Steve Allen, from Pearman Media, has revealed to Daily Mail Australia the signs of the news program's demise have been evident for years. The TV expert said on Tuesday that The Project landed on the chopping block the moment it started losing star power hosts like Carrie Bickmore. 'They lost some of those well-liked, well-admired names,' Allen said. 'The trio who first started The Project, Carrie Bickmore being one of them. They were known quantities then.' 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. The Project, which will air its last episode on June 27, launched as The 7PM Project in July 2009 with Carrie Bickmore and comedians Charlie Pickering and Dave Hughes at the helm. The show then saw a star-studded, rotating panel over the course of its nearly 16-year span, which included the likes of Peter Helliar, Rove McManus, Lisa Wilkinson and Tommy Little, among others. In its heyday, The Project won several accolades including 11 Logie Awards - two of which were viewer-voted Gold Logies won by hosts Waleed Aly and Bickmore. Many stars have since left the program, leaving behind Aly, Sarah Harris, Sam Taunton, Hamish MacDonald, Georgie Tunny, Susie Youssef and Steve Price. Allen said while the current line-up is plenty talented, they don't have the same 'public appeal' as the prior panels. 'What Ten have tried to do in the last decade with the personalities who have gone in and out of the show, they have tried to reinvent it and it just hasn't been successful,' he said. 'Waleed Aly, in particular, a few years ago generated a lot of publicity. 'He is very good at what he does, but he didn't have other people around him that were sufficiently different with their own appeal to the public to regain some numbers.' 'That was the problem. He was nearly last man standing,' Allen added. The Project exceeded more than a million metro viewers at the height of its success. It first began as a half-hour program but soon transitioned into one-hour episodes as its popularity increased. Shot mostly at Network Ten's studios in The Como Centre in South Yarra, Melbourne, The Project was known for reporting on current affairs with a comedic spin. The show also featured all kinds of international superstar guests, giving a seat to any and all artists, actors and musicians who were on tour in Australia. 'The other unique thing The Project has had to this day, and will have until it goes off air, is for any celebrity who comes to Australia - Seven and Nine wouldn't give them much long-form interview space, but The Project would,' Allen said. 'They had something different going for them.' However, audiences began to dwindle in recent years following the loss of stars like Bickmore, Hughes and Wilson - and no amount of famous guests could help The Project recover. Just last week, The Project only attracted between 238,000 and 357,000 viewers nationally. This is in stark contrast to The Project's competitors - Seven and Nine News - which routinely attracted more than 2 million viewers to their 6pm bulletins. However, it seems Ten is preparing to come back bigger and better than ever as the network has already announced an exciting new show to take The Project's place. After announcing The Project was ending, Ten released another statement announcing a different news program will be filling the evening time slot. 'Network 10 will be introducing a revised early evening program schedule later this month,' a spokesperson said. 'At the core of the changes will be an expansion of Network 10's successful news coverage, with the launch of a new national one-hour 6pm news, current affairs and insights program six days a week to complement 10's one-hour 5pm local news bulletins. 'This reflects the successful growth in audiences to Network 10 local news bulletins and coverage. 'Our focus continues to be on serving our free-to-air audiences with more of the content they are increasingly watching.' The Project has been officially axed after 16 years and will air its final episode on June 27. Pictured L to R: Sam Taunton, Waleed Aly, Sarah Harris, and Georgie Tunny 'Deal or No Deal will move to the new time of 7pm,' the statement finished. Recently poached Seven journalists Denham Hitchcock and Amelia Brace are expected to host the new evening program. The new show will be overseen by broadcast news vice president Martin White, with the title and official launch date expected to be announced within the next week. Daily Mail Australia previously reported Ten poached several high-profile journalists from Channel Seven to create a 'crack team' for a new investigative unit. Veteran reporter Hitchcock, 7News Sydney's Bill Hogan, and award-winning former foreign correspondent Brace are those said to be at the helm of the new program. Brace and Hitchcock left Seven's Sydney newsroom within hours of quitting and began work at Ten last Monday. Hogan is expected to start in another two weeks. The departures fuelled speculation Ten is preparing to launch a prime-time news magazine show to take on Nine's 60 Minutes, Seven's Spotlight, and ABC's Four Corners.
