MAFS' Ryan Gallagher and Olympian Emily Seebohm reveal exciting family news

Emily Seebohm and Ryan Gallagher are expecting their first child together.

Former MAFS star Ryan Gallagher and Olympic swimmer Emily Seebohm have announced they are expecting their first child together.

In a hilarious video on Instagram, Ryan pretended to have a bump as he and Emily lovingly took photos on a beach. The roles were reversed in Emily's video, with the star cradling her baby bump as the pair shared some adorable moments on the beach.

"Baby Seebohm due September," Ryan wrote in the caption, with Emily choosing to write: "We've had a little bump in the road" next to a baby emoji.

In March, the couple revealed the happy news that they were engaged, just three months after taking their relationship public after filming The Challenge Australia together in Argentina.

Ryan popped the question to Emily at a dam on his farm outside of Goulburn, NSW, with the reality star choosing a trilogy ring for his fiancée.

The former MAFS groom took to Instagram to share a snap of himself and Emily showing off the huge ring, simply captioning the photo: "Yeehaaa".

"When you know, you know," Ryan told Woman's Day, adding he thought it was the perfect spot as she loves swimming in the dam. "I did get nervous though. The [ring] box was making a bit of a bulge in my pocket. So either she knew I was proposing or she just thought I was happy to see her."

Emily told the magazine it was a "big yes", describing it as a "really special, cute moment".

"It definitely had a Ryan flair to it and it's something I'll cherish forever," she added.

The pair shared that they are planning an "intimate" wedding in the next year or two, but will be throwing a "blowout" engagement party.

Ryan and Emily met while filming The Challenge, however, they couldn't get together during the show as the swimmer had a boyfriend at home.

Once they finished filming, Emily made the difficult decision to break up with her boyfriend, admitting both she and Ryan knew there were feelings there.

In an interview with Yahoo Lifestyle in December last year after announcing she and Ryan were together, the swimmer told us: "Ryan had my back 150 per cent, I had his back 150 per cent. And that's hard to find in a game where you kind of got to lie, you've got to deceive people, you've got to backstab people.

"And we just knew that, from each other, we weren't going to do that. And that was something that doesn't come easy in life either, having someone that you can trust 150 per cent."

"We connected on the show, we were only friends on the show, like nothing happened," she said, adding, "We kept it very clean. But then, after the show, we both met up in Argentina, and we decided to go travelling together. And we've kind of been inseparable since the show, and yeah, I'm super happy. I know I didn't win this show, but I definitely feel like I won."
