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 since they first met on The Bachelor Australia, fans were over the moon.
Taking to Instagram in early May, 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 moment you find out you're having a girl 💕🎀🌸 #purehappiness #genderreveal," lawyer Anna penned next to an image of pink confetti spraying out.
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 Peirce Greyson.
As the second wave hit and travel became all but impossible interstate, and it led Tim to make 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.
