in a social media post last October<\/a>, with Martha, 37, showing a video of their son kissing her visible bump.<\/p>\n\u201cKnocked up n\u2019 knocked out. Will be back bigger and better soon \u2026 fingers crossed!\u201d she wrote in the caption, suggesting she may again be unwell after struggling during her first pregnancy.<\/p>\n
It came just months after Michael, 33, shared an emotional post on social media, opening up about the struggles the pair had been facing.<\/p>\n
\u201cMartha carries a lot, for me, for Looch, for everyone around her. She doesn\u2019t complain, she just keeps going even when she probably shouldn\u2019t have to,\u201d Michael said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe truth is things have been heavy lately. We\u2019ve been juggling work, parenting, pressure like everyone else.<\/p>\n
\u201cSome days feel like we\u2019re running in opposite directions. Snapping more, laughing less. So for her birthday we decided to stop, not run away, just step out of the noise.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe cooked, we swam, we talked about everything and nothing at all,\u201d Brunelli said in a voiceover, which accompanied a video of the family\u2019s holiday.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt didn\u2019t fix all the stress but it reminded us of what matters. We made a memory that will outlast any present. So happy birthday babe, I love you always and thank you for everything.\u201d<\/p>\n
Michael and Martha are among the most popular couples to emerge from the controversial dating show \u2013 and one of the few who have stayed together \u2013 earning themselves legions of fans over the years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Married At First Sight couple Michael Brunelli and Martha Kalifatidis have announced the birth of their second child.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":561509,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[64,63,124594,447,276892,276890,119337,134,276894,2899,276889,276891,7438,4150,1314,276893,276895],"class_list":["post-561508","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-baby-girl","tag-celebrities","tag-celebrity-offspring","tag-controversial-dating-show","tag-eldest-child","tag-entertainment","tag-happy-birthday-babe","tag-keith-urban","tag-lucius","tag-michael-brunelli","tag-nicole-kidman","tag-reality-show","tag-social-media","tag-three-year-old-son","tag-visible-bump"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/561508","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=561508"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/561508\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/561509"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=561508"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=561508"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=561508"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
