It’s all happening for The Bachelor’s golden couple Laura Byrne and Matty “J” Johnson at the moment.
As well as announcing their engagement earlier this week, the pair are expecting their first child early next month.

And with their new bub set to arrive in just over a month, potential names have been weighing on their minds.
In a new interview on the Shameless podcast, Laura, 31, spilled that she and Matty, 31, have been using an app to narrow down choices but still have quite a big shortlist.
While the reality stars don’t know the gender of their unborn baby, Laura admitted she’s all set for a girls’ name – and it’s just beautiful.
“My favourite, if it’s a girl, I really want to call it Marley May,” the jewellery designer revealed.
“Hopefully I’m going to have a baby before anyone else is listening to this podcast and there’s not like 50 Marley Mays in the kids’ school.”
The stunning moniker also seemingly pays tribute to Laura’s jewellery line, which is called ToniMay.
“The name ToniMay in it’s simplest explanation is for the love of my grandparents Antonio and Shirley May Filippi. They have been the most wonderful pillars of support in my life and the biggest inspiration, without whom I wouldn’t be the woman I am,” Laura has explained of her business.
However, if Laura gives birth to a son, his name is still currently up in the air.
“We haven’t decided on a boys’ name yet,” she confessed, before admitting Matt is pushing for Percy after his grandfather but she isn’t totally on board.
Laura also confirmed the new bub will be given Matty’s last name, rather than the hyphenated Byrne-Johnson.

It’s been an exciting time for the pair, who met on season five of Channel Ten dating show, The Bachelor.
On Sunday evening, Matty and Laura took to their respective Instagram accounts to announce their surprise engagement with adorable posts.
Matty shared a video of himself getting down on one knee to pop the question, captioning the post: ‘There’s absolutely no one else I’d rather grow old and senile with. I can’t wait to start a family together and now I can’t wait to be your husband!’
Meanwhile, Laura uploaded her own sweet snap, posting a photo showing off her new engagement sparkler.
We can’t wait to meet little Marley May, or Percy, in the coming weeks!
