Model Samantha Harris announces she's expecting first child with husband Luke Hunt after standing by him during prison sentence
Samantha Harris is pregnant with her first child. The Australian model, 34, took to Instagram on Sunday to share a picture of an ultrasound, revealing that she is pregnant with her first baby. 'Life Lately,' she captioned the post, while tagging her husband of eleven years Luke Hunt. The post, which has garnered over 2,600 likes, did not reveal the gender nor when the baby is due. Fans and friends flooded the comments section of the post with support for the Aussie supermodel. 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. 'Congratulations gorgeous,' Australia's Next Top Model alum Simone Holtznagel wrote, accompanied with a love heart. Fitness guru and podcast host Steph Claire Smith simply wrote, 'Congratulations,' as did model Jess King. Model and actress Megan Gale penned, 'Congratulations Sammy.' Samantha's hubby also left a comment in response to her caption, writing: 'And the rest of our lives to come'. That model made headlines in 2014 when she famously stuck by her beau's side after he was sentenced to four years in prison. Luke served two years behind bars for the death of a grandfather following a fatal car crash in 2012. Sam secretly married Luke in 2014, two months before he began serving his prison sentence for his involvement in the crash that caused the death of 78-year-old grandfather Kenneth Lay. News that the couple had married wasn't revealed until April 2016, after her husband had finished serving his prison term. The former Dancing With The Stars contestant, whose mother is Aboriginal and father is German-English, has been modelling since she was 13 years of age after winning the Girlfriend Magazine Covergirl competition. However, despite her success, Samantha has admitted in the past that she lacked mentors and opportunities during her childhood. The 6ft model, who hails from Tweed Heads, told The Daily Telegraph: 'When I was growing up, support and education for Aboriginal kids was limited and for my mother before me it was even more so.' 'This is why I have made it my goal to commit as much time and effort to changing this for future generations,' she added. It comes after Samantha previously took aim at a journalist for questioning if she was pregnant during a live TV cross. 'So I'm not one to usually write a post like this but this has just really rubbed me up the wrong way today,' she fumed in an Instagram post hours after the incident. The catwalk queen explained that she was preparing to film a segment for Sunrise when her agent began talking to a journalist about her over the phone. 'I overheard the conversation asking if I'm pregnant because there's been rumours getting around for a while now that I am,' she explained. 'Needless to say I was not impressed,' she raged, adding that she found the question 'so rude'. 'Seriously, where do rumours like that come from? What are they implying? Are they trying to say I've gained weight or something??' the star continued. 'If and when I do fall pregnant it will be up to myself and my husband to whom we share that information with and if we let media know at all,' she declared.

Close call! Former celebrity couple Megan Gale and Andy Lee narrowly avoid each other at Sydney Airport as the comedian jets off with fiancée Rebecca Harding
Former celebrity couple Andy Lee and Megan Gale narrowly avoided a reunion at Sydney Airport this week. Andy, 43, and Megan, 49, were one of Australia's favourite celebrity couples before calling time on their four-year romance in 2010. The pair were both spotted at the airport on Friday, missing each other by just ten minutes. Megan was arriving on a flight from Melbourne, while Andy and fiancée Rebecca Harding, 34, were jetting out of Sydney at an airport gate close by. Megan cut a stylish figure, arriving in a black top that she wore over a chic wool overcoat with a brass clasp. She matched this with a pair of plain black jeans and finished her outfit with a pair of black ballet flats. She was also spotted descending an escalator wearing a pair of stylish cat-eye sunglasses, later replacing them with a pair of specs. The supermodel accessorised with a $5000 Louis Vuitton tote bag slung over her shoulder. She also wheeled a luxe $5000 Luis Vuitton suitcase through the airport. Andy, meanwhile cut a very casual figure in a plain white T-shirt and a pair of navy blue sweatpants. He finished his flight attire with a pair of white Puma sneakers and a blue baseball style cap, while also carrying a blue back pack on his shoulders. Rebecca was also dressed for comfort, stepping out in a flowing black blouse that she wore with a pair of cream-coloured jeans. Wheeling a silver suitcase through the terminal, Rebecca finished her outfit with a pair of flats. The couple were not afraid to flaunt their love, happily holding hands as they prepared to board their flight. Despite Andy and Megan's split reportedly being amicable, the model revealed in 2020 that it had tarnished her reputation when the public turned on her for moving on with her current partner, Shaun Hampson, shortly after the breakup. 'It was very demeaning. I get how it happens, I don't like it, I don't accept it. It was really challenging to navigate for a while,' she said in an interview with Mamamia. 'It wasn't a good time. It almost felt like I had done something wrong and I had been tarnished like I'd done something wrong. When I was with [Andy], everyone loved us together.' The former David Jones ambassador went on to explain that the couple had been dealing with their issues privately, so by the time everyone found out about the split it was 'old news' for them. Megan started dating former AFL player Shaun, who was 12 years her junior, in January 2011. Now engaged, the couple are still going strong, sharing two children, son River, 11, and daughter, Rosie, six. Meanwhile, Andy and Rebecca went public with their relationship at the 2015 Australian Open. In 2022, the couple confirmed they had briefly split for six months in 2016 after Rebecca felt 'immense pressure' dating someone in the public eye. However, they soon realised they were meant to be during their time apart. After a decade together, Andy finally popped the question to Rebecca in May 2024. Andy recently revealed that between opening an Australian themed pub in New York, and their mammoth $5million Melbourne mansion renovatio the couple have barely had time to plan their nuptials. 'Most of out planning times and decision time we spend on the house,' Andy said with a laugh on TMZ's Big Down Under podcast in March. Asked by host Charlie Cotton for details about the wedding, Andy said he was 'lo-fi' while Bec is very 'hi fi'. 'When people come round to our house I don't feel the need for napkins for instance,' he joked. 'But because Bec is very hi-fi, I'm lucky because I get the benefit of is nicely laid out and its the right cutlery... 'And I'm worried that [the wedding] is going to be that X a 1000.'
