The Block‘s Eliza Paschke and Nova radio presenter Clint Stanaway have welcomed their baby!
The new parents shared the happy news in an Instagram post, revealing that they have had a baby girl named Stevie Rose Stanaway.
“Our little girl has made her grand entrance,” Eliza wrote on Instagram in a joint post with Clint.
“Mum is obsessed. Dad can’t stop crying.”
It wasn’t long before the comments were filled with congratulations for the new mum and dad.
“Omg 😭😭😭😭 she’s here,” wrote The Block‘s Alisa and Lysandra. “She’s just perfect. Congrats to you both, this is just beyond exciting. We can’t wait for cuddles.”
“Aww this is so damn beautiful, huge love and congrats to you both. You are going to be the best parents,” wrote judge Shaynna Blaze.
“She’s gorgeous! Congrats guys 🥹,” commented Today Show host Tom Steinfort.
The pair — who are not romantically involved — announced their pregnancy back in June. While the announcements were separate, the close friends soon revealed that they were entering parenthood together!
Taking to the radio waves on the Jase, Lauren & Clint show, Clint shared the exciting news.
“I’m going to be having a baby with a really good friend of mine,” he said.
“Her name’s Eliza and we’re going to be using a co-parenting model to have this child.
“We’re going to have a different looking family but a family that’s not going to have any shortage of love in it.”
In the studio, Jase, Lauren and the whole Nova crew all embraced Clint warmly after the good news. Although Clint didn’t specify Eliza’s last name during the announcement, shortly after, The Block runner up shared a post of her own.
“Becoming a mum is something I’ve always thought about and openly discussed,” Eliza wrote, along with a picture of her sonogram.
“Today I’m 16 weeks pregnant, and feeling immensely grateful to be in this position. I know there will be lots of questions, which I’ll answer over time.”
While the timing and contextual clues were almost too much to be coincidence, Eliza later confirmed that she was, in fact, having a baby with the beloved radio host by sharing his announcement video to her public Instagram page.
“So happy to be sharing the experience with this wonderful human,” she wrote, tagging Clint.
People were immediately super supportive of the pair’s baby announcement.
“Just over the moon for you both and so excited to be an aunty and spoil this little baby beyond,” wrote Eliza’s sister Liberty Paschke.
“Just beautiful,” commented Kate Ritchie. “So very happy for you and Eliza and that fortunate little baby.”
“I’m so excited for you both!!!!,” wrote former MasterChef Australia contestant Dani Venn
“SO HAPPY AND EXCITED,” exclaimed MAFS star Carly Bowyer.
Eliza is currently 16 weeks along, with the pair saying they’re embracing the journey ahead “one step at a time” as they prepare to welcome their little one into a family built on love, friendship and support.
