The 28-year-old announced the exciting and surprising news with Woman’s Day in October last year.

“It wasn’t planned, but we always said, ‘If it happens, it happens,’ and that’s how we’ve approached the situation, but we were both stoked when we found out.

“It was such a happy time,” said Olivia, 29, who was four months pregnant at the time.

After getting engaged in 2020, the couple planned to say their ‘I dos’ before starting a family, but they decided to put things on hold with Covid-19 and The Block getting in the way.

“We were looking at a few wedding venues, but then the pandemic and The Block happened, so we put it on hold, and shortly after that, Olivia was pregnant!

“It would have been around this time that we were looking to get married,” said Luke.

“But we couldn’t be happier.”

Uncle Josh also shared his plans to spoil his niece and have a big part in her life.

“I’m going to spoil her! I don’t think I’ll be a dad any time soon, so it’ll be a bit like trial and error for me. I’m really looking forward to it,” he shared.

“It was such a happy time.”

Even though the twins saw relative success on The Block, when Olivia was asked by Woman’s Day if she would allow her partner and his brother to design the nursery, she retorted, “Definitely not the boys.”
