Survivor star Shonee Bowtell, 33, and her partner Matt Jamieson, 33, have welcomed their second child!
The couple posted happy news on Instagram late on Monday evening.
“Our daughter Vera Mae!!!” wrote the four-time Survivor contestant alongside a black-and-white picture holding her new bub.
Meanwhile, Matt shared a gorgeous picture alongside Shonee and baby Vera.
“Being a father is the best gift life has ever given me!” he wrote. “Now to be a girl dad is the the icing on the cake.”
“My sister could’ve given me the heads up to re-do my hair,” Shonee on her Instagram Stories alongside the photo below.
The happy couple have been inundated with well wishes from friends, family and Survivor alum alike.
“Stunning photo and beautiful name. Proud of you Mama,” wrote Brooke Jowett.
“Congratulations!” said Luke Toki.
“I love her already,” wrote Nick Iadanza.
Vera is the second addition to Shonee and Matt’s family. The young couple welcomed their first child, a son named Vally, at the end of 2023.
Speaking to New Idea, Shonee said that labour was significantly more difficult than any challenge she’d ever experienced on Survivor.
“Giving birth was such an empowering experience,” she said. “Having done Survivor, I think it’s safe to say that I love pushing myself. But 20 hours of unmedicated labour was certainly character building!”
Matt and Shonee have been together since 2023.
The young parent announced their engagement on Instagram in June this year.
“Life just gets better and better,” she wrote, alongside adorable pictures of her family. “I can’t wait to marry the man of my actual dreams!!! How lucky am I?”
Congratulations!
