… boy!

Such a cool gender reveal – we love it!

Back in July Emily revealed the couple is expecting in an Instagram video, with the caption, “We’ve had a little bump in the road”. The touching video shows the loved-up couple cradling Emily’s baby bump, kissing and cuddling.

Ryan is a former Married At Fist Sight contestant, and the couple actually met on the set of a different reality TV show, The Challenge.

Olympic medalist Emily and Ryan announced their engagement in March, after publicly revealing their relationship in December last year.

Emily hasn’t competed in swimming since the 2020 Olympics, but she had hinted at the possibility of competing at the Paris 2024 Olympics. But that now seems unlikely, with the Australian trials flagged for June next year.

  • Congratulations to this lovely couple. Followed Ryan in MAFS, then both in I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here, and together in another reality show which I cannot remember the name. Their romance truly blossomed after that show.
