The post was welcomed with plenty of congratulatory comments from fans and friends, including fellow Neighbours actor Charlotte Chimes. Charlotte wrote: "Congratulations you beautiful family."

The news comes after the couple announced that they were expecting their second child in August last year. At the time, Matt posted a photo of an ultrasound of their baby writing: "A new addition to our retirement package. Boy or girl? @jessicaleewilson1."

While the sex of this second baby has not yet been revealed, this is another big step for Matt and Jessica, who married in a secret ceremony in 2019 and welcomed their first child together in 2021.
