It has been a bit of a bumpy ride but here we are … we\u2019re almost half way now and things are going well, it\u2019s good.\u201d<\/p>\n Nine, which broadcasts Today, is the owner of this masthead.<\/p>\n Related Article Abo told viewers that she had previously suffered two miscarriages, including one last year.<\/p>\n \u201cI think that\u2019s also why I\u2019ve been so cautious about sharing this news, which obviously I\u2019m so thrilled to be sharing with you all, but I\u2019m still terrified,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m still finding it hard to believe that it\u2019s happening and I will lean in and enjoy it \u2013 but a lot of people understand what it\u2019s like to have this cautious optimism.\u201d<\/p>\n Abo said she hoped her announcement would help other women who have struggled with fertility issues.<\/p>\n \u201cIt hasn\u2019t been an easy journey to get here, but it\u2019s getting harder to hide.\u201d<\/p>\n While congratulating his co-host, Karl Stefanovic also became emotional, revealing that his wife, Jasmine, had also suffered pregnancy losses.<\/p>\n \u201cIt wasn\u2019t until we were confident with our most recent test that we felt we could tell our parents [about my pregnancy].\u201d<\/p>\n Today co-host Sarah Abo<\/p>\n \u201cA lot of people won\u2019t know this because Jas is a very private person, but we lost a couple as well, and you sit there as a man and think, \u2018What could I have done? What did I do wrong?\u2019 All those questions enter your mind,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n Stefanovic acknowledged that Abo had been \u201csuper nervous\u201d about the announcement, while praising her bravery and fortitude.<\/p>\n \u201cI work next to you every day,\u201d he told her. \u201cI know you had some dramas and last year you had so much crap written about you in the newspapers … it was around that time, and you didn\u2019t tell anyone and still came to work. And your strength and courage going through that was unbelievable; that you fought through that on your own with only a couple of other people knowing.\u201d<\/p>\n In a post to Instagram on Wednesday morning, Abo shared a photo of her baby bump and provided more detail about her struggle to conceive.<\/p>\n \u201cWell, I can\u2019t keep trying to hide under a rock! Yes, there is a baby in there. It\u2019s our happy news after a bit of a bumpy ride. But I am still pretty terrified!<\/p>\n \u201cI know this is an experience many have gone through, are going through, and will go through. And one that no one ever wants to go through. We take so much for granted, and I think when it comes to pregnancy and fertility, we\u2019re almost conditioned to.<\/p>\n \u201cInstead, for some of us, it\u2019s about dodging glances, dodging questions, submitting to appointment after appointment, test after test, jab after jab. I wish there was a bit more awareness, education and less stigma, to maybe make it a little bit easier \u2026 hopefully talking about it more helps.\u201d<\/p>\n Abo also admitted she had waited as long as possible to tell her family and friends.<\/p>\n \u201cIt wasn\u2019t until we were confident with our most recent test that we felt we could tell our parents, but it was so beautiful to share the news,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n Related Article \u201cWhen you\u2019re a 40-year-old woman and pregnant for the first time this far along, it doesn\u2019t happen overnight … But Cyrus is so, so happy \u2013 and he is going to be the most beautiful father \u2013 and we already love this child so much; he is coming into a world that adores him.\u201d<\/p>\n The development is likely to fuel speculation about potential changes to Today\u2019s hosting line-up, given Stefanovic \u2013 whose rumoured $2 million contract expires at the end of this year \u2013 has started an independent podcast, The Karl Stefanovic Show. There has also been speculation that he may be considering a move from television to radio<\/a>.<\/p>\n When rumours surfaced that Nine was considering pairing Stefanovic with friend and former breakfast TV rival Samantha Armytage<\/a>, who previously co-hosted Seven\u2019s Sunrise \u2013 and who is now contracted to Nine, where she has filled in on Today and presented The Golden Bachelor \u2013 Nine moved to shut down speculation in February.<\/p>\n In a statement to industry publication Mediaweek in February, a Nine spokesperson said the broadcaster remained firmly behind its breakfast pairing.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re incredibly proud of our Today team and the work they\u2019ve been doing in an already busy 2026 and delighted that, as announced at the Nine Upfronts [2026 programming showcase] back in October, Sarah and Karl continue to lead the incredible Today team in what will be a big year full of headlines and events that affect the lives of our viewers.\u201d<\/p>\n Nine has been contacted for comment.<\/p>\n Find out the next TV, streaming series and movies to add to your must-sees.
