The gorgeous couple made the announcement in this weekend’s Stellar, where they also revealed their unborn baby’s gender – a boy, to join their daughter Isabella, seven. 

Jess, 37, exclaimed: ‘This was a long time coming – it’s taken us a bit of time to get to this moment so we’re grateful. We’ve wanted a bigger family for a really long time.’

And Newcastle-born surfer Luke is over-the-moon to be welcoming a baby boy to join the brood.

‘I was startled to find out we were having a boy. I didn’t think it was possible,’ he added.

‘I just automatically thought that we’d be having another girl, but when we found out we were having a boy, I thought, “This is going to be a whole new learning experience for me”.’

However joyous the occasion, Jess admits that her second pregnancy hasn’t ran too smoothly so far.

She explained that she suffers from vertigo as a side effect of pregnancy, and sometimes even loses her vision and feeling down the side of her body.

She describes the experience as feeling like she’s ‘inside a washing machine’ – but is adamant she won’t take any medication while she’s pregnant.

Jess isn’t the only Fox star with happy baby news – as fellow sports broadcaster Tara Rushton announced that she was expecting her second child in October, and Lara Pitt recently welcomed her third child.
