"Exciting news": MKR couple Carly and Tresne share heartwarming update
My Kitchen Rules couple Carly Saunders and Tresne Middleton have shared that they are expected a baby boy.
The couple endured the worst when their daughter, Poppy Grace, passed away in February 2023 at just 20 months old after battling leukaemia.
Just five months after Poppy's death, the couple were dealt another blow as they announced they had suffered a miscarriage.
Now, a year on from Poppy's tragic passing, the women have shared some joyous news with their followers, sharing that they are expecting a new addition to their family.
Posting the pregnancy announcement to their shared Instagram page, they wrote that their baby boy is due on August 24th this year: just one day before Carly's birthday.
“We have some exciting news! Poppy Grace is going to be a big sister! 🎉” they said on Tuesday.
“We’ve been battling with the right time to share this news, as we always want to be sensitive to those who have been going through their own challenges with cancer and fertility treatment. But this bump is getting too big to hide!”
Carly continued writing of the challenging journey she and Tresne had gone through, both undergoing IVF while dealing with the grief of losing Poppy Grace.
“We both struggle with visiting the hospital due to the difficult memories of our 17 months living in hospital with Poppy Grace," she wrote.
"This darling little boy is something very positive for us to look forward to. Thank you to the people who have continued to be in our corner."
"We want to give this sweet little boy the best possible chance, and we know that our beautiful Poppy will be excitedly looking down on us with happiness dancing in her heart. 🩵"
The announcement prompted a flood of well wishes and congratulations for the couple, with one overjoyed fan writing, "Oh I’m so happy for you all. A beautiful little boy sent from above by their big sis."
