NRL Footy Showco-host and sports media personality Erin Molan surprised Channel Nine viewers with some beautiful news during Friday night’s bulletin.

“Sean and I are very blessed and very excited to announce that we’re having a child,” Molan told newsreader Georgie Gardner, who was recently announced the new co-host of breakfast programTODAY.

“It’s slightly terrifying but beautiful news,” Molan said.

The 35-year-old became engaged to her partner Sean Ogilvy, 42, in September after meeting in 2016. You can watch the video of Erin’s announcement below.

Congratulations, Erin and Sean! What gorgeous news to kick off our weekend.
