The Block’s family is growing!

A year since Tash Pavlou announced her engagement to her boyfriend Brad, they have revealed they’re expecting their first child.

Tash stunned her fans by posting the news on the joint Instagram she shares with her dad and The Block partner, Harry.

The three gorgeous pictures perfectly encapsulated their joy, with the first featuring the former reality star cradling her stomach while holding her sonogram, with Brad supporting her belly from behind.

Tash penned a sweet caption musing on all the adventures she is looking forward to in 2022.

“2022 you may actually be my favourite year ❤️,” she began.

“Because this year we welcome our new little family member and we couldn’t be more excited to add to our big crazy clan.”

The Block alums Sarah and George commented on her post, “YASSSSSS WE ARE SO EXCITED FOR BABY Z AND CANNOT WAIT FOR OUR LITTLE ONES TO BE BESTIES TOGETHER ❤️❤️❤️,” and Ronnie and Georgia wrote, “Congrats guys, 2022 will certainly be the best year ever!!!!.”

Elise and Matt also shared their well wishes by posting, “Awwww this is amazing news!!! Congratulations beautiful lady ❤️.”

The happy couple revealed they were engaged in January 2021 during an exclusive chat with Woman’s Day.

Tash gleefully told the story of their unconventional proposal after four years of dating.

“He proposed at our local dog park,” Tash laughed.

“He asked me if I wanted to take the dogs for a walk, so we took them to the park around the corner from our home in Richmond, and Brad all of a sudden told me he wanted to film our dog.

“So he got out his phone and filmed himself throwing the ball, and while she was retrieving it, I turned around and there he was down on one knee with the ring!”

The life-changing moment was a surprise for the then 32-year-old, but she wasn’t unprepared.

“About an hour after the proposal, Tash miraculously had folders upon folders of wedding research – venues, dresses, all of it… it was magical how it just appeared out of nowhere,” said Brad.

But Tash insisted, “I had to be prepared! I thought it was going to be another six years!”
