He’s endured one of the toughest builds The Block has ever seen alongside his twin brother Josh, but for Luke, his most difficult gig is only just beginning: being a father!
The 28-year-old and his lawyer fiancee Olivia, 29, have announced exclusively to Woman’s Day that they’re expecting a baby girl next year – and while it wasn’t exactly planned, they can’t wait to meet their bundle of joy!
“It wasn’t planned but we always said, ‘If it happens, it happens,’ and that’s how we’ve approached the situation, but we were both stoked when we found out. It was such a happy time,” says Olivia, who is four months pregnant.
The couple, who also announced their engagement last year, admit they wanted to get married first, but just like one of their gruelling challenges on The Block, COVID-19 threw a spanner in the works.
“We were looking at a few wedding venues, but then the pandemic and The Block happened, so we put it on hold, and shortly after that Olivia was pregnant! It would have been around this time that we were looking to get married,” says Luke.
“But we couldn’t be happier.”
DOTING UNCLE
Just as happy with the news as the parents-to-be is Josh, who says he’s excited to be a hands-on uncle.
