Bachelor stars Matty ‘J' Johnson and wife Laura Byrne reveal they are expecting their third child
Byrne announced the happy news on her successful podcast Life Uncut, telling listeners: 'It turns out, we're having baby number three. I'm pregnant guys.'
Byrne is now 18 weeks pregnant, after discovering she was expecting while Johnson was away filming I'm A Celebrity ... Get Me Out Of Here in South Africa.
'I have known for a very long time — I found out very early on in this pregnancy not because I had any symptoms but because my friend made a comment that made me do a pregnancy test,' she said.
Byne said while she was reunited with Johnson in the jungle, she had waited until after filming wrapped on the I'm A Celebrity finale to tell him the happy news.
Johnson made his own announcement on his Two Doting Dads podcast, telling listeners the baby is due in October.
The couple have two older daughters, Marlie-Mae who was born in 2019 and Lola born in 2021.
'We were trying before I went into the jungle,' Johnson said of the latest pregnancy.
'The plan was, we said this year, 2025, if we were going to have a third, this will be the year that it happens.
'I'm conscious that Marlie and Lola are really close together, they're about 18 months (apart) and Lola just turned four, so I was like if it doesn't happen this year, it's a big gap …
'We want the third child to still be friends with Marlie and Lola.'
The couple met on The Bachelor Australia in 2017 and later married in November 2022 at Cupitt's Estate winery near Mollymook on the NSW South Coast.

Abbie Chatfield has last laugh after Brit's parking fumble
A British woman has been served a dose of karma after committing a parking faux pas on an Australian media star's property. Media sensation Abbie Chatfield took to social media on Sunday to recount the 'crazy interaction' she had on her Bondi driveway to her 667,000 followers. The star had left to take her dog for a walk when she noticed a woman in a Mazda had parked an inch away from her car, with the Mazda's backend 'halfway over the driveway'. 'Literally, you could not get a car out at all,' the It's A Lot podcast host told her followers. Chatfield said she felt compelled to approach the woman about the parking job as she had previously heard 'people from England park recklessly'. 'She's not from here, I thought she was confused,' she explained as the motivation behind letting the woman know the move was illegal. Instead of acknowledging the parking blunder and moving her vehicle, Chatfield said the British woman instead became increasingly angry in response. 'She was yelling 'I didn't ask you'…. I told her I didn't want to fight (her). 'I said, 'Babes, people live in this apartment building, they have 4WDs and utes'.' She told the woman it was a 'nightmare' to get out of the driveway, which was reportedly met with laughter and refusal to move — a reaction the Bachelor alumnus took a moment to directly address. 'Why are you laughing that you're committing a crime? Why are you laughing that you're being incredibly disrespectful, blocking someone's driveway, and yelling at a stranger? 'You obviously have no respect for our garden and no respect for our footpath.' Chatfield got the last laugh, however — taking to social media with a follow-up video later that day showing the Mazda's driver received their karma in the form of a $330 fine. 'Well, well, well…. I tried to warn her,' the star joked while showing the ranger ticket underneath the car's wiper. The comments were just as happy as Chatfield to see the woman had gotten fined for the act. 'Karmas so swift sometimes!' one follower wrote. 'This is so incredibly cathartic,' another agreed. Another commenter chimed in: 'Oof $330 is a big fine too, she's going to regret that!' Even Aussie comedian Matt Hey jumped in, saying the payback 'was everything'. Blocking a driveway is illegal in all Australian states. If a parked vehicle obstructs access to a driveway, fines between $100 and $590 apply depending on local council policies. PerthNow reached out to Abbie Chatfield's representatives, however, did not receive a response.

Brooklyn Beckham renews vows without parents David and Victoria present
Don't miss out on the headlines from Celebrity Life. Followed categories will be added to My News. Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz's vow renewal was a family affair — for the actress, at least. Peltz shared ceremony snaps via Instagram today, proving her loved ones showed up in full force for last week's ceremony. Her in-laws, David Beckham and Victoria Beckham, however, were absent from the couple's milestone moment as they were enjoying a European getaway. Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz renewed their wedding vows after three years of marriage. Picture: nicolapeltzbeckham/Instagram The couple secretly renewed their vows earlier this month, but only shared photos on Monday. Picture: nicolapeltzbeckham/Instagram 'this day meant so much to us,' the Lola star, 30, captioned her Instagram slideshow, which kicked off with a photo of her dad, Nelson Peltz, officiating the ceremony. The carousel concluded with a group photo, featuring Nicola's mum, Claudia Peltz, sister Brittany Peltz, as well as brothers Will Peltz, Bradley Peltz and more family members. The wedding was officiated by Nicola's billionaire father Nelson Peltz. Picture: nicolapeltzbeckham/Instagram The second-time bride said 'this day meant so much to us'. Picture: nicolapeltzbeckham/Instagram In another social media upload, which included only shots of herself and Brooklyn, Nicola gushed, 'In every lifetime.' Reps for Brooklyn, Nicola, Victoria and David did not immediately respond to Page Six's requests for comment. Nicola and Brooklyn, 26, initially tied the knot in April 2022 in Florida. With her father Nelson and mother Claudia. Picture: nicolapeltzbeckham/Instagram Nicola's brothers and sister were also in attendance. Picture: nicolapeltzbeckham/Instagram News broke earlier this month that the couple had renewed their vows, with People labelling it an 'event about honouring the love and commitment they've built together over the years, and creating a memory that will stay with them forever.' Brooklyn opened up to the outlet about the 'beautiful' experience last week. He called the ceremony a 'really cute memory,' adding, 'To be honest, I could renew my vows every single day with her.' Although Brooklyn's parents, David Beckham and Victoria Beckham, did not attend the ceremony, the Peltz gang was in full force. Picture: nicolapeltzbeckham/Instagram Nicola gushed that she'd pick Brooklyn 'in every lifetime'. Picture: nicolapeltzbeckham/Instagram 'I think the most important thing that someone can do is find that person that they're going to spend the rest of their life with,' Brooklyn continued. 'It definitely shapes you as a person. Yeah, it was really, really cute. It was really fun.' Brooklyn says he would renew his vows to Nicole every day if he could. Picture: nicolapeltzbeckham/Instagram The couple called their second wedding a 'really cute memory'. Picture: nicolapeltzbeckham/Instagram The photographer-turned-chef did not speak to his parents' absence, however. Although Brooklyn first sparked feud rumours with one of his siblings in April, reports surfaced the following month that he and Nicola were also at odds with his allegedly 'narcissistic' parents. Page Six hears he has since gone 'no contact' with them. Brooklyn said the event was a 'beautiful' experience. Picture: nicolapeltzbeckham/Instagram Nicola poses topless with her mum as she preps for the big day. Picture: nicolapeltzbeckham/Instagram As Brooklyn and Nicola distance themselves from the Beckhams, David and Victoria have put on a united front with their other sons — Romeo, 22, and Cruz, 20 — while on vacation. While the Beckhams have yet to directly address the drama, Cruz recently sent tongues wagging with scathing social media messages. Victoria and David have done the same by noticeably only 'liking' Brooklyn's Instagram pictures without his wife. The former Spice Girls member is rumoured to have upstaged Nicola at the latter's wedding. A source told Page Six at the time that Victoria and her daughter-in-law 'can't stand each other and don't talk.'

'Sick in the pit of my stomach': Peter Andre breaks down after learning of 'disgusting' messages sent to 18-year-old daughter Princess by older men online
Peter Andre has been left shaken after discovering the disturbing online messages his daughter Princess has been receiving from men on social media. The 52-year-old British-Australian singer, who shares 18-year-old Princess and 20-year-old Junior with ex-wife Katie Price, appeared in the debut episode of Princess' new ITV2 reality series, which aired on Sunday. During one scene, father and daughter were sitting together on the couch when Princess revealed she had been getting inappropriate comments online. "Whatcha doing?" the Mysterious Girl singer asked, to which Princess awkwardly replied: "Reading comments… People saying they want to see my feet." Andre's face immediately dropped. "What?! When did this start happening?" he asked. When Princess, who was 17 at the time, admitted it had been happening "within the last year" her father asked in disbelief: "Please, god, tell me that's the only thing they ask for." But she went on to explain that she also receives "weirder comments" asking if she's "finally legal". Andre put his head in his hands, visibly upset. "You find out who that was, flipping hell," he said. The social media influencer and model then hesitated before showing her father one of the more disturbing messages she'd received. "I don't actually know if I want to show you. I found the comment, but it's quite disgusting." Andre read the message, before recoiling and pushing the phone away. "Oh my God I didn't think it was going to be like that," he said. "That really made me feel sick, like in the pit of my stomach. I hate it because you're still my baby." Andre pressed for more details: "How old is this dude? What's his name? Where does he live?" Princess, whose accounts are public, said she had no idea who he was. "Has this distressed you?" Andre asked. "No, that's life, that's social media," she replied, explaining she wouldn't switch to a private account because she would "lose her job". Elsewhere during the episode, Princess reflected on the darker side of her career. "I do love my job and I do love social media and I do love interacting with people but there is a dark side to social media that people don't see, and there are a lot of inappropriate messages that… yeah some of them can be horrible," she said. Princess' famous parents met on the 2004 UK series of I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! and married the following year before divorcing in 2009. On Sunday, She and Junior also appeared on This Morning on Sunday to discuss growing up in the public eye and her new show. "To us, it's like our normality, we don't really know any different," Princess said. Junior added that while they 'didn't really have any privacy" growing up on reality TV, they "don't feel different to anybody else."
