Owen Jenkins and Michelle Walder, who featured on the 2020 series of Married At First Sight, have delighted followers with adorable news that they’re expecting another little one.
The pair, who are already parents to daughter Jess, took to Instagram to share the joyful announcement alongside a collection of heartwarming photographs.
Little Jess looked picture-perfect as she twinned with mum Michelle, both sporting matching white frocks adorned with delicate blue blooms whilst beaming for the camera.
One touching image captured Michelle tenderly holding her growing bump, whilst another revealed an ultrasound glimpse of their unborn child.
The loving duo wrote alongside their post: “Trying to match with mummy, but not quite managing the bump…! New addition coming January 2026.”
Supporters flooded the comments section with congratulatory messages, with one fan gushing: “Congratulations! By far my favourite MAF couple.”
Another chimed in: “Congratulations! I love your love story, thank you for sharing MAF.”
A third supporter wrote: “Aw congratulations to you both. I agree you both are my favourite and real couple from MAFS.
“You guys are my favourite MAFS family. I’m so excited to meet the newest addition,” another follower expressed.
The announcement follows closely after fellow Married at First Sight alumna Jess Potter recently welcomed a baby daughter with partner TJ O’Reilly, reports OK!.
Following a five-day hospital stay, Jess shared precious snapshots of herself bonding with her newborn via Instagram. She shared the joyous news with a caption that read: “After 5 days at hospital, 4 days in early Labour, 12 hours of active labour..a lot of screaming. I had the birth Ive always wanted… Mia Jane O’Reilly 6lbs 6oz born 4:51am 23rd July. You’re perfect in every kind of way.”
Earlier this year, Jess opened up about her fertility struggles before announcing her pregnancy in January.
In an emotional message to her followers, she said: “After almost 3 years, 3 failed IVF cycles, 4 losses, and hundreds of injections… Our journey has been filled with heartache, hope, and resilience,” Jess wrote at the time.
“But today, we’re overwhelmed with gratitude to share with you: Our miracle babe arriving July 2025! This little heartbeat is proof that dreams do come true, no matter how long the road may be.
“Thank you to everyone who has supported us along the way. For anyone still waiting, we see you, and we’re holding space for your story. With love, Jess and Tom. A special mention to @fertilysis whom without none of this would be real.”
