They are hilarious critics on the couch, but Gogglebox Australia family Sarah Marie and Matty Fahd have just announced the gender of their baby set to arrive in May!
Matty took to Instagram to share a video from the gender reveal party where the couple popped the balloon – containing the gender inside – along with their three-year-old son, Malik.
“Our gender reveal & celebration with our family,” Matty began.
“Life does not get much better than in moments like this. Malik, Mum & Dad, cannot wait to welcome our baby earth side.”
And the gorgeous family is having a boy!
Now they only need to find a name that will compare to Malik, which means “king” in Arabic. In an interview with Stellar, Matty revealed a potential name for their unborn baby.
“The name we really liked for [our next baby] – Amir – means ‘prince’ in Arabic. It’s such a beautiful name, but I couldn’t do that to a second-born after all of that.”
Sarah and Matty cannot wait for their second child, getting pregnant was not easy after Sarah had a miscarriage in May 2022. At the time, she was just six weeks into her pregnancy when she discovered she was bleeding.
“When you see a positive pregnancy test, you get so excited,” Sarah Marie reflects. “You begin making all these plans,” she said.
“The miscarriage kind of ruins the pregnancy a little bit because ignorance is bliss. You know that things like this happen, but you don’t think it will happen to you. And when it does, it changes things.”
While grieving their loss, Sarah decided to publicly speak about her miscarriage after fans on social media began asking when another additional would be welcomed to the family.
“When you mention you have a miscarriage, a lot of people sweep it aside. They say, ‘Oh, it’s very common,'” she said. “But that doesn’t make it any better.”
“We got so many comments, from fans of Gogglebox and from friends and family, saying, ‘Hurry up and have a second kid! You need to give Malik a sibling.’ [But] we had just lost our baby. We had months of that,” she told Stellar.
