There's nothing more exciting than a Bachelor baby. So, when OG couple, Tim Robards and Anna Heinrich announced they were expecting their first child seven years after they first met on The Bachelor Australia, fans were over the moon.
Taking to Instagram in May 2020, the loved-up pair shared the big announcement with a set of candid pictures showcasing Anna's blossoming bump.
Alongside a set of black-and-white pictures, Anna wrote: "It's been so hard to keep this a secret, over the past few months, but I can now finally shout... I'M PREGNANT!!!"
She continued: "With everything that's going on in the world we feel incredibly lucky and grateful to be starting a family together, and we're so looking forward to this next chapter in our lives. #BabyRobardsComingSoon."
Meanwhile Bachie turned Neighbours star, Tim, shared in the excitement of his pending fatherhood.
"I can't wait to be a Dad!!! The giddy feelings in my stomach show there must be a few nerves, but I know Anna's going to be an absolutely amazing mother and I couldn't be more excited to start a family with her," Tim said at the time.
Shortly after, they celebrated their impending arrival with a lavish gender reveal party, confirming they were expecting a little girl.
The parents-to-be were separated for much of Anna's pregnancy due to COVID travel restrictions.
With Anna living at home in Sydney, Tim was stuck in Melbourne filming Neighbours playing wealthy businessman Pierce Greyson.
As the second wave hit and travel became all but impossible interstate, Tim made the "gut wrenching" decision to quit the beloved soap.
"That was probably one of the most stressful times in my life," Tim told Now To Love. "It was such a big decision that I didn't take lightly. I wasn't sleeping well, I was so stressed out."

But, ultimately, Anna and his growing family had to take priority.
"I made the gut-wrenching decision to depart Neighbours early as my responsibilities as a husband and father have to take precedence. If I've learnt anything in this pandemic it's that the health and wellbeing of my family has to come first," Tim explained.
Back home with Anna, Tim was present for the arrival of their beautiful daughter with the couple announcing the news on November 14 2020.
"Introducing the newest addition to our family 🖤," Anna shared via Instagram with a gorgeous shot with her baby girl.
In the year since, Anna and Tim have only fallen more in love with their little girl (and with each other) celebrating every little moment and major milestone with her, especially during lockdowns.
"We're so lucky to be in the position we are, we've got a beautiful healthy young girl and we're just trying to make the most of it," Anna told Now To Love last year.
"We love it when she sleeps, because that's when we get our time [...] to get as much as we can done."
In honour of their unbreakable bond we've rounded up the sweetest photos of the adorable family-of-three.
