Whilst the Australian version of Married At First Sight draws to a dramatic close this week, MAFS UK love birds Adam Aveling and Tayah Victoria have announced the lovely news that they are expecting their first child together!

The couple, who married when they met at the alter on the E4 show a year ago, shared their exciting news on social media, with Tayah showing off her growing bump.

Posing for a new magazine shoot, Tayah wrote on Instagram: 'The news is finally out and I still can’t quite believe I’m typing this but we’re having a baby 🥺🥺'. (sic)

Fans and friends of the reality couple were quick to comment on the cute post.

Love Island star Olivia Buckland, who is expecting her own baby with her husband Alex Bowen, wrote: 'OMG guys!!!!🥺🥺🥺 so happy for you both xxx'.

MAFS UK expert Paul Carrick Brunson added: 'One thing no one can doubt is that your child will know what love is ❤️', with MAFS star Amy Christopher adding: '😍😍😍😍😍 finally I can tell everyone 😂 soooooo happy for you my loves. Gonna be the most loved baby with all its aunts and uncles 😂❤️ xxxx'. (sic)

After receiving thousands of messages of support, Tayah took to her Instagram page to thank her followers.

She wrote: 'Just want to say a massive thankyou to everyone who is congratulating us. It's overwhelming all the kind messages. We're both over the moon that this has happened and it's strange how just over a year ago we randomly signed up to a TV programme and all of this happened.

'We'll make sure to share the journey as most of you watched it from day one anyways'.

Just days before dropping her album 'Am I The Drama?', American rapper Cardi B announced in September that she's pregnant with her fourth child! The new arrival will be her first with her boyfriend, NFL star Stefon Diggs.

Paloma Faith

Singer Paloma Faith announced in October that she's expecting her first child with her boyfriend Stevie Thomas. Sharing the lovely news in an Instagram post, the 44-year-old confirmed she's 18 weeks pregnant. Paloma is already a mum to two children with her ex Leyman Lahcine.

TV presenter Joel Dommett and his wife Hannah Cooper announced in November that they are expecting their second child together! The couple, who are already parents to their son Wilde, shared the news on social media, writing: ' 'Baby in mumma tummy. Hard to keep secrets with a toddler around'.

Ellie Goulding and Beau Minniear

Singer Ellie Goulding has revealed she is expecting her second child, her first with boyfriend Beau Minniear. The singer appeared on the red carpet at The Fashion Awards 2025 showing off her baby bump, wearing a cropped top.

Sienna Miller and Oli Green

At the same event as Ellie Goulding, actress Sienna Miller also announced her pregnancy, alongside her boyfriend Oli Green. Sienna is already a proud mum to her 13-year-old daughter Marlowe, whom she shares with her ex Tom Sturridge, and her 23-month-old daughter with Oli. The new arrival will be Sienna and Oli's second child together.

Following their marriage on the show last year, which of course was not a legal ceremony, Adam proposed to Tayah during the final vows on the series.

The couple, who faced zero issues throughout the experiment, quickly moved in together and recently spoke about their plans to have a baby.

Speaking to OK! Magazine in December, Tayah said: "It’s always on our minds and it is something we talk about. But we’d love to get married legally first. Some of my friends have got married after having a baby and the kid’s running around at the wedding like a headless chicken. So, ideally, after we get married, but you never know what’s going to happen."

After suffering a miscarriage in a previous relationship, Tayah went on to admit that she understands that sometimes things just aren't meant to be: "After suffering pregnancy loss, I think it’s natural to be a bit more nervous the next time round. But it’s always such an exciting time and it’s completely out of your control. I learnt that these things happen for a reason. And what will be, will be.

"But of course, it will be such an amazing experience, and I know if that were to happen with Adam, I would be so supported. It would be an easier process to go through with Adam. I’d have such a great support network."

Congratulations to Tayah and Adam! 👶
