It's been three years since they were matched together on E4 dating show Married At First Sight UK, and it's safe to say the experiment was a mega success for Adam Aveling and Tayah Victoria, who went on to get married for real and welcome a baby girl!

Now, two years after welcoming their daughter Beau, Adam and Tayah have announced the lovely news they are expecting their second child!

Announcing the lovely news in a shoot with OK! Magazine, the loved-up couple said in video: "We are excited to announce that we are expecting our second child."

During an interview with the publication, the pair, who got married for real last Christmas, admitted they were 'sort of' trying for a second baby, but not 'trying'.

Adam said: "We were sort of... trying but not trying – if that makes sense. This year has been a busy one and we weren’t sure if we wanted to move house first and then have a second baby, or vice versa. We put our house on the market at the start of the year, but things fell through, so we decided to stay here and try for a second baby. Throughout our whole relationship we’ve sort of winged things and then deal with what comes next."

And it sounds like they are keen to find out their unborn baby's gender when they can, with Adam saying: "We’re both too impatient to not find out", and Tayah adding: "I think Adam would quite like a boy."

Replying to his wife, Adam added: "I’ve always said I’d like one, but I wouldn’t complain if it was another girl because Beau is just incredible."

Gushing over his parenting skills, proud Tayah said: "He’s a really good girl dad. I think there’s pros and cons to both, though. I have a sister and I know what it’s like to be able to share clothes and have that sisterly bond. But then, it’d be lovely to see Adam with a little boy – even if that would mean a new challenge and learning things all over again."

Adam then told the publication: "As long as they’re happy and healthy, I guess that’s all that matters."

Despite many MAFS fans thinking Zoe and Jenna wouldn't last due to their lifestyle differences, the couple have proven everybody wrong, going on to get engaged in June 2024!

The happy couple announced the news on social media, with Jenna telling her followers: 'We've been keeping a little secret.. A week ago the absolute love of my life asked me to marry her 🥹 from me being a little slow on the uptake, thinking Zoe had just gone a little overboard for date night to Bobo setting himself on fire 😬 it was perfect and chaotic and just very "us"

'Not to be cliché but I genuinely didn't think that this type of love actually existed, to have someone who loves you, cares and respects you as much as you do them, is the most incredible feeling.. and now I get to marry my best friend instead of a stranger! 💍

'I guess we have a particular TV show to thank for setting us up on the wildest 1st date ever.. so thank you @e4mafsuk @e4grams'. (sic)
