There’s something in the water over at the Wiggles HQ.
From Purple Wiggle Lachlan Gillespie’s surprise twin daughters to Red Wiggle Simon Pryce’s exciting news he and his wife Lauren Hannaford are expecting their first child together, due in mid-January next year – the Wiggles family is constantly expanding.
Simon and Lauren announced their baby news in September to coincide with Father’s Day.
“Lauren and I are beyond excited and overjoyed to be expecting our first baby in early 2021. I already feel like I’m bursting with love,” the Masked Singer favourite penned.
He continued: “I think @lozhannaford will be happy when it’s born so I stop talking to her stomach, especially when we are in the supermarket aisle.”
The post finished with an endearing sign off for the dad-to-be: “Happy Father’s Day to me. Well not quite yet but soon.”
However in a recent interview, the pair revealed their road to parenthood hasn’t been without its challenges, admitting it took two years to fall pregnant with Lauren discovering she had cysts on her ovaries.
With the government cancelling all elective surgery earlier in the year in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, Lauren wasn’t able to have them removed.
But miraculously, she fell pregnant naturally.
“We just had to trust that in the end the timing for us was going to be right. Then just before I was due to go in for the rescheduled surgery we found out I was pregnant. It worked out naturally and wonderfully,” the 34-year-old told Stellar magazine.
“We’d got used to the idea of waiting but, like you hear so many times, as soon as you relax and stop thinking about it, it happens. I’m loving seeing Lauren pregnant and am overflowing with love knowing there is a little baby growing inside of her,” Simon, 48, explained to the publication.
Lauren and Simon married in 2017 after dating for six years.
The pair met on a Wiggles tour, with Lauren playing several iconic characters in the children’s performances – including Wags the Dog, Dorothy the Dinosaur and the Octopus.

And baby makes three! Lauren and Simon are set to welcome their first child together in January 2021.
The professional dancer has been keeping fit and active throughout her pregnancy with regular pre-natal workouts. In fact, she’s in the process of creating her own FHIT pregnancy workouts for each trimester with her tailored workouts due to launch in the new year.
“Even when your 5 months pregnant I can’t keep up with you when we do FHIT workouts together,” husband Simon has quipped of his super-fit wife.
The Wiggles power couple announced their pregnancy news on Father’s Day in September.
The pair have since revealed it took them two years to fall pregnant.
Despite their struggles, they are embracing every moment of this pregnancy.
“The amount Simon talks to my tummy and makes me giggle, I’m sure this baby is going to come out laughing,” Lauren told Stellar magazine of her doting husband.
And pop! Lauren’s bump has well and truly nipped out. The famous couple pose with good friend and their PR agent, Bec Brown, ahead of her book launch.
“I just want it to be a good person who is empathetic, understanding and treats people with respect,” the fitness instructor has said of how she hopes to raise her child.
