Married At First Sight stars Jules Robinson and Cam Merchant have announced the birth of their second child.
The couple, who met on season six of the hugely popular reality series, revealed the news that they welcomed a baby boy and shared his name in an Instagram post
“Carter James Merchant️. You are just perfection. We have a beautiful healthy boy!! 7/23/24,” read a post on Robinson's Instagram.
The couple also shared the heartwarming moment their three-year-old son Oliver met his brother for the first time.
“Seeing Oliver Chase shake with excitement at becoming a big brother and meeting Baby Carter (as he calls him) was one of the best moments EVER,” she continued.
“@cammerchant thank you for holding my hand through what felt like a lifetime but magic at the same time. Family of four now️. I love you.”
The former MAFS star went on to share their newborn's name, saying: “CARTER* Carter has a spiritual meaning embodying leadership, wisdom, responsibility and creativity, representing service, ideals and community spirit.”
“[James is] Also one of Cams (many) middle names Cams Grandparents name, my dad's name and my oldest dear friend @jrcleland who left us too soon.”
She ended her heartwarming post by thanking the medical staff who were there for the birth, adding: “Huge appreciation to all the midwives at Northern Beaches hospital, your care, empathy, knowledge, honesty and support is something we are so grateful for grateful. thank you for all you do.”
Earlier this year, Robinson reflected on her first pregnancy in 2020, with the 41-year-old saying the differences between then and now are stark.
“I guess when I was pregnant [with Ollie], I didn't have my 'strength' – which I had built up around me over the last few years. I found it very difficult,” she said Stellar Magazine.
“I didn't like all the attention and negativity from horrible people about my body when I was pregnant and the horrible messages. They would say, “I hope you have a painful miscarriage” and horrible things like that. Some people can be just plain awful.
“This time, it was really wonderful. I can't really hide it anymore. I'm devastated. It was nice to keep it between family and friends and a little more private this time.”
Robinson said the couple, who met on MAFS in 2019, aren't done expanding their family yet and could have a third to come.
“We want little kids running around. Maybe we'll go again if we're lucky,” she said.
