The news comes after Burgess’ brother Sam and his new wife Phoebe confirmed in late July that they also have a baby on the way.

However, in comparison to his brother, Sam and Phoebe have decided to keep the sex of their little one a surprise.

In announcing the news, Sam told Nova 96.9’s Fitzy and Wippa he was keeping in under wraps for now.

“I’d like to not find out, I’d like a surprise and it’d be nice to have something to keep for ourselves throughout this process, so we’ll wait and see,” he said.

Both Joanna and George have posted images on their respective Instagram account of the burgeoning bump, with George posting an image of the duo on holiday with King’s belly on full display.

“Colourful cossies are the way forward! Soaking up the sun,” he captioned the photo.

Meanwhile, King posted her own photo of her new belly on Instagram, hanging poolside on holidays with her dog, Axel.

Friends, family and fans alike were quick to jump on board and send the couple their congratulations, commenting on the news and sending their own well-wishes.

Women confess their first thoughts upon seeing their baby. We wonder how the Burgess’ will go.
