Home And Awayicon Kate Ritchie and her husband Stuart Webb have announced they are expecting their first child.
“IT IS WITH GREAT EXCITEMENT that Stuart and I announce we are expecting our first child,” she wrote on her Facebook page.
“We can assure you any secrecy up to this moment has been nothing more than us protecting what is most sacred – a new life that was far from reaching its 12 week milestone.
“Thank you to all who have respected our privacy over these past weeks allowing us the privilege every couple deserves – to share the wonderful news ourselves. It really is such a special time for us and we couldn’t be happier! KR x”
Barely able to contain her excitement, Kate, 35, has been rallying up family and friends to share the special announcement.
“It really is a dream come true for them. They’re sharing baby-name ideas, talking about how they’ll adjust to life as parents and how much time they plan to take off work,” an ecstatic family friend toldWoman’s Day.
Congratulations to Kate and Stuart!
