Barry Hall and Lauren Brant Are Having A Baby!
Barry Hall and Lauren Brant have announced they’re having a baby. The former AFL star, 39 along with his former Hi-5 girlfriend, 27 announced the happy news to New Idea magazine this week.
The couple first met when they both participated on last year’s season of I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! They did not start dating however until June this year. Hall says his preconceived notions about Brant quickly disappeared upon meeting her.
“The way she was portrayed on the show is just not how she is,” Hall said to the magazine.
“Barry thought I was cast as an entertainer,” Brant said, “and he had a preconceived idea about entertainers.”
“She is quite the opposite,” Hall said.
Once the couple reunited this year the attraction was instant and they soon realised they were more than friends. “We fell madly in love and it happened quite quickly,” Brant said.
Brant found out she was pregnant in August and couldn’t wait to FaceTime Hall to tell him the exciting news. “He asked me if I’d been crying and I said, ‘Yeah, but happy tears’,” Brant said.
“I just looked at him and I said, ‘I’m pregnant,’ and his face just lit up.”
Now 18 weeks pregnant, Brant has shared her ultrasound with her fans on Instagram:
She captioned the photo with: Hello world, I can’t wait to meet you in May 2017!
This is OUR OWN little baby. Barry and I are beyond excited to share this news. I just LOVE kids and I have dreamt of the day I will be able to have my own. Well, I have finally found the perfect partner who will also be the worlds best Dad, and we have been blessed with a little miracle. IM PREGNANT!???
This news couldn’t come at a better time for the couple- who both went through a rather tumultuous 2015.
Hall split from his wife of three years and Brant’s engagement to personal trainer Warren Riley was called off when she told him she had an affair with Footy Show star, Beau Ryan.
