Former Neighbours star Bonnie Anderson has welcomed her first child with fiancee Sam Morrison.

The loved up pair became engaged in April 2022, announcing they would be expecting a baby of their own in June of the same year.

Taking to her Instagram to share the happy news, the actress turned singer shared a number of pictures of her adorable new arrival.

”It was always you, our darling boy. Bobby Ray Morrison,” she wrote.

Bobby is oh so adorable!

Wrapped up in a snug crochet blanket embroidered with his name, Bobby is a spitting image of his mum and dad, and is surely the best Christmas gift either of his parents could ever ask for.

Speaking with her fans on her social media earlier this month, Bonnie said that it had been a ”dream to carry” her baby these past nine months.

”Not long to go now until we meet our boy,” Bonnie wrote at the beginning of December.

”It has been such a dream carrying you for nine months. I am so excited to meet you and see who has been hiding in there all this time.”

Bonnie has described her pregnancy as a ”dream.”

On a similar thread, Bonnie shared with Channel 7 earlier this year that whilst the initial stages of her pregnancy and her attempts to fall pregnant had proven challenging, seeing the two lines on a pregnancy test had been a ”joy”.

”The beginning was all sorts of weird feelings. Just your body changing, everything changing. It’s been really nice this last week. I’ve got my mojo back,” she said.

For those unfamiliar with Bonnie, she won Australia’s Got Talent at the tender age of 12 in 2007, winning judges (and the public) over with her impressive vocals before being cast in the role of Bea Nilsson on long running soap drama Neighbours from 2018 to 2021.

Bonnie won the Masked Singer in 2020.

Speaking on her decision to quit the hit show, Bonnie admitted to the Herald Sun that it was ”time for her to move on.”

”I feel like at the age I was, 23, when I joined the show it has really shaped me into the person that I am today,” Bonnie shared.

”I have decided it is time for me to continue challenging myself and create space to focus on my music and songwriting and more acting.”

It is unclear whether or not the 28 year old will return to Neighbours in the role of Bea for the reboot which is set to start filming in the first half of 2023, with an expected air date later that same year.

Her last television appearance was in 2020 where she reminded fans of her talented vocals, and won the Masked Singer as ‘Bushranger’.

Bonnie acted on Neighbours from 2018 – 2021.
