The Bachelor’s OG couple Tim Robards and Anna Heinrich have celebrated their daughter Elle’s first birthday with a gorgeous party.

The family celebrated the adorable bub, who looked adorable in her stripy pink dress and big white bow, at a restaurant with million-dollar views, decorated with copious balloons and flower arrangements.

“What an incredible day celebrating our little girl + getting through the first year of parenthood. What a ride. We loved it (most of the time 😝)🤍💕🤍💕🤍,” proud mum Anna wrote on Instagram.

Birthday girl Elle was gifted a pink car, and as for sweets, she had cookies with her face on them and a special cake made by mum.

The marshmallow and pink buttercream poodle creation came from an Australian Women’s Weekly recipe, and Anna revealed she wanted to carry on a special family tradition.

“One of my favourite memories from my childhood were all the incredible cakes my mum made me. Starting to make memories for my little girl 🐩 🐩 🐩 🐩 #fifithepoodle #firstbirthday #firstbirthdaycake,” the Bachelor season one winner wrote.

Elle’s official birthday was last Friday, and her doting parents shared adoring tributes to mark the big day.

“And just like that, our little girl is ONE! HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY you sassy little thing,” Anna wrote, with a number of photos from the last year posted alongside.

Meanwhile dad Tim wrote: “Happy 1st bday to my beautiful little Elle…Words cannot express how much love and light she brings to our lives. Shout out to her Mum for doing an amazing job this 1st year as well.

“With her mother’s hardware and her Dad’s software (so I’m told) we could be in for a wild ride the next 20 odd years! Wish us luck haha!” Tim finished.

In 2018, Tim and Anna married in a gorgeous Italian ceremony, and little Elle came two years later, adding to the growing Bachelor alum brood.

Earlier this year, Anna told Now To Love that she has worked hard to strike the right balance between parenting and work.

“Whenever I need to go out for a run, or whenever I need a sleep in, he’s there to help,” she said.
