Jules Robinson, who is expecting her second child in July, added: "Best ever ! Have loved sharing this time with you ! They will be besties ! Can't wait to meet her xx."

Beck Zemek wrote a similar message, while expert Alessandra Rampolla commented a string of love hearts.

The couple were paired together during Season 8 of MAFS – which aired in 2021 – and went on to tie the knot for real in January 2023.

They announced they were expecting their first child together in January.

Earlier this year the pair spoke to 9Entertainment about their pregnancy, with Kerry revealing how she broke the news to Johnny as well as some of the challenges they faced during their fertility journey.

It was around Christmas 2023 when Kerry discovered she was pregnant, and she immediately thought a creative way to share the news with her husband – but things didn't exactly go to plan.

"I got home from work and the first thing [Kerry] said to me she was, 'I got us a surprise'," Johnny explained.

Naturally Johnny wanted to know what the surprise was, but was a little underwhelmed when Kerry presented him with some Christmas jumpers.

"I said, 'What, why would you give Christmas jumpers? It's hot!'"

"I picked it up off the kitchen bench and was like, 'There is no way I'm wearing this'."

But as Johnny put his Christmas jumper to the side he noticed a smaller baby-sized jumper.

"I was just frozen for a second and thought, 'No way...'"

Johnny hilariously admitted that he second-guessed if the smaller jumper was for their dog, but when he saw the pregnancy test all of the pieces of the puzzle came together.

It was an emotional time for the soon-to-be dad who confessed he "just bawled [his] eyes out".

While Kerry and Johnny are feeling "euphoria" now, they revealed that their pregnancy journey wasn't straight forward.

"We weren't one of those lucky couples that fell pregnant straight away," Kerry explained.

"We had a taste of what having no answers for month after month was like and it was really tough. I don't think anyone understands that level of disappointment unless you've been through it.

"We felt disappointment as a couple, but also [I did] as a woman."

Kerry heartbreakingly added: "I almost felt like a bit of a failure to [my] partner."

When the couple took to social media earlier this year to announce their pregnancy, they were deliberate with their words.

"Thrilled to be adding a much wanted and already so-loved member to our family," they began in the post.

"Our journey took a bit longer than we'd hoped for but not as long as others. Thinking of everyone still on their path."

The post was deliberately worded this way, as Kerry explained: "What we chose to write in our announcement was just to acknowledge those that were in the same position as we were and to make sure they felt seen.

"We didn't want them to feel disheartened or defeated by our post or to compare themselves to what they see on Instagram."

The couple later discovered the gender of their child, and were ecstatic to learn that a little girl was on the way.

Congratulations to Johnny and Kerry!
