A huge congratulations are in order for Married At First Sight success story, Cam Merchant and Jules Robinson, who have welcomed their first child together.
The reality TV poster couple announced the safe arrival of their baby via their Instagram page with a sweet video.
“#loveatfirstsight I would do it a thousand times again for you Oliver Chase Merchant.
Our little man has arrived ❤️ #surprise #itsaboy healthy and beautiful and my heart is full.
We are home now and enjoying the love bubble and getting to know our lil man Ollie who has the world ahead of him. ❤️” Jules captioned the post.
Cam and Jules announced they were expecting their first child together back in April, with a stunning cover story for Stellar magazine.
The vintage-inspired shoot included a very cute announcement via their cover line, reading: “First comes marriage, then comes love, then comes a MAFS baby in the baby carriage.”
Jules shared the image on Instagram with her own caption re-confirming the news.
“We are having a baby!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️,” Jules wrote, adding, “You heard it here so you know it’s actually true!”
She continued: “And we couldn’t be happier! I’m already so in love with my bump!”
In her accompanying interview with Stellar Jules, 37, confessed she was surprised at how quickly she fell pregnant.
“I honestly thought it was going to come with a fight. Because of my age, I had done all the hormone testing, the egg count… so much is instilled that you’re going to struggle because of your age,” she said.
Cam admitted he was overjoyed by the news.
“I cried, for sure. I was emotional. It’s a big step and I’ve never done this before,” he said.
Opening up about her pregnancy, July told the Daily Telegraph it had been a whirlwind experience of conflicting emotions.
“You are so eternally grateful to be making life but on the other hand it’s a whirlwind of so many emotions, sickness, tiredness and first time experiences,” the hairdresser explained.
“Not to mention the raging hormones that leave you questioning your sanity. But I can say even now I would do it all again.”
Living the reality TV dream so many other Married At First Sight couples dreamt of, Cam and Jules have been one of the show’s only success stories.
Cementing their reality romance, the couple officially tied the knot in a lavish televised ceremony in November 2019.
The nuptials were held in front of friends and family, including the likes of Sylvia Jeffreys and fellow MAFS‘ stars Nic Jovanovic, Cyrell Paule and Heidi Latcham, as well as televised in a special event episode of A Current Affair.
Cam and Jules’ bub marks the second MAFS baby, joining the ranks of former season one couple Zoe Hendrix and Alex Garner’s three-year-old daughter Harper.
