When Now To Love spoke to Married At First Sight star Carly Bowyer in April this year about keeping your sanity intact while getting through lockdown, she shared a few tips that, as it turns out, she was putting into practice herself.
“Increase the sex,” she laughed, as she revealed her tip for couples isolating together.
“That’s what everyone is telling me … [people] who are in couples … that they’re just having sex because they’re bored. There may be a baby boom in nine months’ time.”
Who could have predicted the 34-year-old would be one of those mums-to-be herself!
Taking to Instagram in June, the MAFS star announced she and partner Neil Goldsmith were expecting their first child together.
“WE’RE HAVING A BABY!” Carly captioned the sweet image.
“In what’s been a crazy 2020, we see a little baby light at the end of the tunnel. We’re over the moon, and can’t wait to meet our little Biscuit @neilfgoldsmith More baby goss on my podcast @findingaunicorn tomorrow!”
Having nicknamed their unborn bub “biscuit”, Neil also took to Instagram to share the news.
“We’ve been busy in iso baking a ‘Biscuit’!! 🍪👶🏼🍼😱” he cheekily captioned the post.
Carly is best known for her time on MAFS, where she was matched with ice-cream entrepreneur Justin Fischer.
It wasn’t meant to be, but Carly soon fell for fellow groom Troy Delmege and continued a romance after the show.
She’s since found love with the father of her unborn child, Neil, who is an actor and model – and seems happier than ever!
“Life as a free man is over 😜 @carlybowyer,” Neil said when going Instagram official with his relationship in August 2019.
Now as the couple prepare for life as new parents, we’re rounding up the best snaps of Carly’s growing bump.
