The Block winners Steph and Gian Ottavio reveal exciting baby news: 'The start of our little family'
The Block winners Steph and Gian Ottavio have revealed they are expecting their first child.
The Aussie reality couple, who claimed victory during the 2023 season, shared a sweet clip on Instagram on Sunday confirming the pregnancy with a baby scan.
'The start of our little family, when two become three,' they captioned the heartwarming post.
'We can't wait to meet you our beautiful baby Ottavio.'
The couple have yet to reveal the gender or when they're expecting the baby's arrival.
In the video, Steph wore a cream-coloured off-the-shoulder dress that beautifully showed off her baby bump.
She then did an outfit change into a crop top and long maxi skirt, with her belly on full-display as the couple kissed, hugged and danced in the Instagram post.
Her hubby brandished a giant grin across his face, elated about his growing family.
Other clips showed the couple getting an ultrasound scan and excitedly painting their baby's room.
Last year July, Stephanie and Gian revealed they were at it again and making real estate moves.
The Block winners purchased an original Federation home in Summer Hill, Sydney for $2 million.
The three-bedroom, one-bathroom property is described in its Adrian William advertisement as a 'freestanding renovator's delight in trendy locale'.
The property features a fireplace, traditional washroom and a concrete backyard.
At the time, the childhood sweethearts said they planned on documenting their renovation process on social media.

'We've got this ultimate plan that we can actually take everyone through from the conceptual phase,' Steph told Yahoo Lifestyle.
'I'm excited to take everyone on that journey of an architect's brain of sort of being like, I've been here, I've experienced this, and this is a direct influence. It will be this whole big journey and I think it's quite relatable to what people go through,' she continued.
In the nail-biting finale of The Block, Steph and Gian were the runaway winners with their house selling for an incredible $5 million.
They walked away with $1.65 million profit plus prize money of $100,000, bringing their total earnings to a record breaking $1.75 million.
Steph and Gian's House 4 was first to auction, and it was a tense time for the pair, who called their $3.35 million reserve 'hell' and feared they would not make money.
The $5 million sale gave the pair $1.65 million profit, with Steph and Gian embracing and bursting into tears as they called the money, 'life changing '.

Shock moment Sunrise host Matt 'Shirvo' Shirvington is pushed into a pool of ice water during live cross
Matt 'Shirvo' Shirvington received a cold reception on Monday morning after he was pushed into a pool of ice water live on-air. The Sunrise host, 46, who was dressed in a penguin suit as he presented the AM segment, took an unexpected cold plunge at the Melbourne Cricket Grounds. But it was for a good cause as the TV personality took an icy dip for Big Freeze 11 to raise awareness and funds for Motor Neuron Disease (MND). The charity was started by Neale Daniher in 2014 and has raised over $115 million for MND since its inception. 'I wouldn't say I'm exactly ready to take the plunge,' Shirvo told the camera, as he explained the charity's initiative, which sees celebrities slide into a pool of icy water for the cause. 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 former track star decided to dip his feet in the -6.2 degrees celsius water to 'test it a little bit'. However, Shirvo was caught off-guard as a producer off-camera took his microphone and shoved him in the icy pool as the studio erupted into fits of laughter. As he tried to get out of the icy water, Shirvo was pushed in again. When the TV host finally managed to get out of the pool, he took off in a sprint around MCG to warm up as his fellow Sunrise hosts giggled. 'That was such a mean thing to do,' anchor Natalie Barr proclaimed, before questioning who shoved Shirvo into the pool. 'I haven't seen him run that fast in a long time,' Shirvo's fill-in David Woiwod quipped. A few weeks ago, fellow Sunrise host Natalie also took a cold plunge during the breakfast program. The presenter, 57, and co-host Shirvo were chatting to Australian boxer Harry Garside about using the bath for muscle recovery and the health benefits of doing so. Natalie then stripped into a black swimsuit as she agreed to jump into an ice bath with the sports star. Before getting into the water, Harry explained: 'Ice baths are obviously exceptional for athletes. But I also think breath work in general is good to calm yourself in chaos. 'Boxing is so chaotic. It's so full on. You get into an ice bath and something similar and you can control yourself with a breath.' Shirvo then said: 'Well jump in guys when you're ready. Good luck.' After getting into the ice bath, Natalie joked the feeling was so uncomfortable she felt like she was going into childbirth. She continued to breath loudly before admitting: 'I hate this.'
