Married At First Sight golden couple Ellie Dix and Jono McCullough expecting first child together

Married At First Sight couple Ellie Dix and Jono McCullough are expecting their first child together.

The reality TV couple revealed the happy news in a heartwarming Instagram post, sharing audio from their final MAFS episode that now carries a special meaning.

In the footage, Jono and Ellie walk along a beach while occasionally cradling her baby bump and holding sonogram images.

Meanwhile, in the audio, the late relationship expert Mel Schilling asks Ellie what she envisions for her future with Jono.

'The white picket fence,' Ellie replied.

'Baby? Is that what you see?' Mel then asked.

'I want to have a family and just the average Australian dream,' Ellie responded.

Ellie's dream is now becoming a reality, with the loved-up couple confirming they are expecting their first baby together. The child is due to arrive in April 2027. 

'Baby McCullough coming April 2027,' the pair captioned their post.

The announcement was met with celebration and well wishes from fellow reality TV stars, fans and friends.

'Best news ever,' former MAFS participant Eden Harper commented.

'Congratulations! Beautiful news,' Olivia Frazer added. 

'Congrats legends!' Clint Rice wrote, while his wife Jacqui added, 'congrats xxx.'

Ellie later thanked her followers for the warm reception to their announcement.

'We honestly didn’t expect so much love! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for every message, comment and well wish,' she wrote.

'It means more than you know to have so many beautiful people sharing in our happiness. We’re so excited for what’s to come!'

Jono and Ellie, who were initially matched with other partners on MAFS, have been together for almost three years since meeting on the Channel Nine dating show. 

In 2024, the couple bought a house together on the Gold Coast.
