As far as pregnancy announcements go, newlywed and former Bachelor star Tara Pavlovic takes the cake for making a last impression.
On Sunday night, the reality star, who wed husband Nick Shepherdson in September, took to Instagram to share their exciting news in a drone-style video, which showed the parents to-be sitting on a beach, popping a bottle of champagne alongside the words “baby Shep due May 2021” written in the sand.
“Well, at least one of us was able to enjoy some celebration drinks on our honeymoon…,” Tara explained, making light of the fact she was pregnant on their wedding, before revealing the gender of their first child.
“Nick and I are so excited to finally share that we are expecting a little baby BOY in May 2021 💙. We are both so grateful and we just can’t wait to meet the little fella,” she wrote.
“Not going to lie, if he is anything like Nick, I am already worried about his teenage years… 😳😂.”
Tara’s post was quickly flooded with well wishes from the Bachelor community with Laura Byrne, who starred alongside Tara in Matty J’s season of The Bachelor, leading the tributes.
Laura wrote: “😍😍😍😍😍 Congratulations honey!!!”
“So happy and excited for you both. Congratulations,” Bachie winner Snezana Wood penned.
“CONGRATULATIONS TARZY! Best news ever. You are going to make the most amazing mumma 🖤,” runner-up from Tara’s season Elise Stacy added.
The pair tied the knot last month in an out-of-the-box a celebration at Sol Gardens in the Currumbin Valley, Queensland.
“25th of September, 2020. The day I married my best friend,” Tara mused of her wedding at the time.
At first glance, you’d be mistaken for thinking this was your run-of-the-mill wedding but the couple added many of their own unique touches – including serving their guests a decadent platter of McDonald’s finest foods from cheeseburgers, nuggets and sweet and sour sauce.
The pair, who have been together for two years, originally planned to get married in April but were forced to postpone their big day as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.
Tara first rose to fame after coming third in Matty J’s season of The Bachelor in 2017. The following year, she found love with Sam Cochrane after he proposed to her on Bachelor In Paradise. The pair never made it to the altar and endured a messy, public split in June 2018.
The 30-year-old nanny found her happily ever after with long-term friend Nick Shepherdson, who she has known for over ten years.
