The former Hi-5 star and the ex-AFL hero first met on I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!
The 27-year-old is pregnant with the couple’s first child.
She revealed on radio last week that she had a conversation with Barry in the jungle, who had just separated from his wife Sophie at the time, about having kids.
“He was telling me how he wants children,” Lauren said on the radio show.
“I said ‘how many do you want?’ And he said ‘four’ and I said ‘me too, maybe I’ll give them to you one day – just kidding.’ “
Clearly, she has made good on her promise to the AFL legend, who turns 40 this week.
The couple can’t wait to welcome their bundle of joy.
“We have been spending a lot of time together and we have been enjoying each other’s company,” Lauren said when their romance first kicked off last year.
Lauren confirmed her romance with Barry last October.
The pair had been spotted sharing a passionate kiss on the Gold Coast.
“We have been spending a lot of time together and we have been enjoying each other’s company,” Lauren explained to the Daily Telegraph.
“Who knows what the future holds?” she mused at the time.
Lauren and Barry starred on I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! in 2015.
The reality star’s was previously engaged to Warren Riley, while her 39-year-old lover was married to Sophie Raadschelder for three-and-a-half-years.
The pair, who first met on I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! back in 2015, only found romance a year later.
“The next series had already been on,” Lauren told Nova 100’s Chrissie, Sam & Browny breakfast show.
“And we were both on the Gold Coast and we said ‘let’s finally catch up’…and we caught up!”
Adding, “I think with being able to eat and have comfort and hair and makeup and all of that stuff which we didn’t have in the jungle, we liked each other.”
Barry seems chuffed with his new lady.
They even have “his and her” bags!
Chrissie, who was also in the jungle with the pair, admitted she never saw the duo in a romantic light.
In fact, viewers may remember Barry having very little patience for Lauren.
The performer blames it on the jungle conditions.
“There was nothing… We’re so mentally and physically exhausted, you don’t like anyone. You don’t even like yourself.”
Well, now the pair like each other A LOT! And we can not wait to meet their sweet bundle of joy.
