Laura Byrne<\/a> and Matty ‘J’ Johnson<\/a> have welcomed their third child together, a daughter.<\/p>\n

The former Bachelor star, 39, and her husband, 38, announced the news in a sweet Instagram post after previously revealing their newborn’s name was Poppy.<\/p>\n

Poppy was born late Saturday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘Third time really is a charm. Our sweet little Poppy girl is here and we are all utterly obsessed with every inch of you,’ the pair announced.<\/p>\n

‘Poppy Pearl Johnson welcome to the world precious one.’<\/p>\n

In April, Laura revealed the gender of her third child with Matty, confirming she was\u00a0expecting another daughter<\/a>.<\/p>\n

She made the exciting announcement, cutting into a gender reveal cake live on her KIIS FM The Pick Up radio show, just hours after announcing her pregnancy.<\/p>\n

‘It’s a girl,’ Laura squealed as she removed a slice of white sponge that contained layers of pink icing.<\/p>\n

‘Oh my god, you’re having a third little baby girl!’ co-host Brittany Hockley<\/a> said in\u00a0disbelief, before adding: ‘Congratulations.’<\/p>\n

‘Third time really is a charm. Our sweet little Poppy girl is here and we are all utterly obsessed with every inch of you,’ Laura announced on Instagram<\/p>\n

‘Am I capable of producing boys?’ replied husband Matty, before adding, ‘Let’s go again. Let’s go for a fourth.’<\/p>\n

‘We’re so lucky to have three little girls – and three little sisters, it’s going to be amazing,’ added Laura, before Matty admitted he ‘loves being a girl dad’.<\/p>\n

Laura announced her pregnancy news on her podcast, Life Uncut, which she co-hosts with fellow reality star Brittany Hockley.<\/p>\n

‘It turns out, we’re having baby number three!’ she declared.<\/p>\n

‘I’m pregnant, guys!’<\/p>\n

‘It is a miracle. We had a really small window. I have known for a very long time. I found out very early on in this pregnancy, not because I had any symptoms but because my friend made a comment that made me do a pregnancy test,’ she explained.<\/p>\n

Laura recalled that she took a pregnancy test while Matty was filming I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! in South Africa, but did not tell him the news until she was two and a half months pregnant.<\/p>\n

‘I wasn’t able to tell Matt for ages. The whole time he was in the jungle, I wasn’t able to tell him and then it was really tricky because I didn’t want to tell him when it was the finale,’ she explained.<\/p>\n

‘Am I capable of producing boys?’ husband Matty asked, before adding, ‘Let’s go again. Let’s go for a fourth’\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘I didn’t want to tell him as soon as the show, because I don’t know if you guys remember, but the show wasn’t filmed live this year, so we did the finale over there.’<\/p>\n

Matt also made an announcement on his Two Doting Dads podcast, telling listeners: ‘[It’s] an October baby. We were trying before I went into the jungle.<\/p>\n

‘The plan was, we said this year 2025, if we were going to have a third, this will be the year that it happens.’<\/p>\n

The couple share daughters Marlie-Mae, whom they welcomed in 2019, and Lola, who was born in 2021.<\/p>\n

Laura appeared on The Bachelor Australia in 2017 and met her now-husband, and father to her two children, Matty.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Laura Byrne and Matty ‘J’ Johnson have welcomed their third child together, a daughter.
