Popular TV presenter Narelda Jacobs and her wife Karina Natt have announced that they’re expecting their first child together!
The Sydney-based couple, who tied the knot just a few months ago, broke the news on Instagram with a heartwarming post that’s already gone viral.
A Book and a Baby: The Ultimate Double Announcement
The couple’s Instagram post was a clever combination of book promotion and baby news. Jacobs captioned the photo, “If Queers Weren’t Meant To Have Kids… then why are we?” The post shows the loved-up couple sharing a kiss on the beach, with a subtle hint at their growing family.
“We’ve got some exciting news,” Jacobs teased, before Natt chimed in with, “We’re having a book baby!” The couple then dropped the bombshell: “Yay! Oh, and we’re also having a human baby, which is out next year!” They also announced that their book, “If Queers Weren’t Meant to Have Kids,” will be released around the same time.
A Growing Family
Jacobs, a proud Noongar woman, appeared on TV to share more about the news, revealing that she’s been keeping the secret close for a while. “Our family is growing,” she told Angela Bishop. “So come March next year, we will have a 30-year-old in Jade and a newborn baby.” Jacobs’ daughter, Jade Dolman, is a talented First Nations mural artist and educator who’s about to become a big sister!
Normalizing Queer Families
The couple’s book aims to “normalise queer families, queer parenting, and to show that families come in different forms.” Jacobs hopes to inspire others by sharing their journey, proving that love knows no bounds. Though she didn’t specify who would be giving birth to the child or how they conceived, the message is clear: love is love, and family is everything.
Celebrity Friends React with Joy
The news sparked a wave of congratulations from celebrity friends and fans alike. Kylie Kwong, Melissa Leong, and comedian Luke McGregor – all of whom attended the couple’s wedding – were among the first to react. “Two of the most natural, giving and beautiful Mumma’s in the universe, Lucky and I are over-the-moon for you three plus big sister,” Kwong wrote. Brittany Higgins added, “most marvellous news I’ve heard in a long while. Congratulations to the both of you!” Bindi Irwin chimed in with, “CONGRATULATIONS!!! Such wonderful news!”
As the couple prepares for this new chapter, we can’t help but feel thrilled for them. With their book and baby on the way, Narelda Jacobs and Karina Natt are spreading love, joy, and acceptance – and we can’t get enough of it!
