If you haven’t already heard, Kayla Itsines, the woman behind the famous BBG fitness program, is expecting her first child!
The fitness influencer announced Wednesday, Dec. 19 that she was 20 weeks pregnant and expecting a baby with her fiancé Tobi Pearce in May. She shared the happy news with a video on Instagram.
“Tobi and I do not even have words to describe how happy and excited we are to bring you this news!” Itsines wrote. “If you don’t know already, I come from a big Greek family. FAMILY is always what comes first in my life. To be able to start my own family with the person I love most in this world is just an absolute dream come true.”
Pearce, 27, — who proposed in April — expressed his exciement for his new role as a dad-to-be.
“Family means something different to all of us, but for me it was something I learned a lot about from Kayla in the years we have been together,” Pearce wrote on Instagram. “Her wisdom, generosity and selflessness goes a long way toward making her the tremendous woman and fiancée (soon wife) she is. I consider myself so lucky and our beautiful baby blessed to have her as a mother. I’m so proud of the way Kayla has taken this new challenge in her stride.”
Itsines also shared how excited and supportive Pearce has been since finding out they were expecting.
“@tobi_pearce has been SO supportive, SO EXCITED and so loving!” Itsines said. “He comes home every day [and] hugs and kisses my stomach. He lays on my legs and asks the baby how its day was. He is at every scan and every appointment. I couldn’t ask for a better partner.”
