Bachelor lovebirds Locky Gilbert and Irena Srbinovska have revealed that they’ve expanded their little family after welcoming a gorgeous pup into their home.
The couple shared the exciting news to Instagram on Monday evening, along with a carousel of loved-up images of the Red Merle Australian Shepherd.
Locky and Irena captioned the snaps, “Then there were three…” before revealing that the pooch was named Odin Gilbert.

Laura Byrne, Renae Ayris, and Juliette Herrera were also among those to congratulate the newly-engaged couple on their newest family member.
“What a beauty,” 2017 Bachelor winner Laura wrote, while Renae added, “Oh my gosh!” with heart-eyes emojis.
The introduction of the four-legged family member may prove to be a trial run for the couple, with Irena revealing last year that she’s got babies on the mind.
“I am so clucky already!” Irena told her Instagram followers when asked if she would ever consider having a baby.

Welcome to the family, Odin!

Irena also revealed that while she certainly hopes to had children with her future husband, she’s still apprehensive after suffering a miscarriage last year.
“During our first few months together I, unfortunately, suffered a miscarriage,” Irena told our sister site WHO at the time. “But Locky was my absolute rock and having his support made me love him even more.”
“We are just normal people and while we put ourselves in the spotlight, you never know what is going on in our lives that day,” Locky added.
For now, however, Locky and Irena seem to be happy as they play mum and dad to gorgeous Odin as they prepare to tie the knot after announcing their engagement in June.
Speaking exclusively to WHO, Locky revealed he popped the question in Irena’s home state of Victoria during a hike at Mackenzie Falls in the Grampians.
“When we reached the base of the waterfall I set up the camera to capture some photos of us but instead I hit the record button,” the 2020 Bachelor said.
