‘Luka Ljubicic, 01.01.21. @alesandroljubicic and I are SO in love I can’t even deal!’

The former Miss Universe Australia later took to her stories to share a video holding her newborn baby, before teasing it hadn’t been the smoothest labour.

‘Yes he’s finally arrived! Our little boy Luka!’ she beamed. ‘He has been an absolute dream so far. We’re so tired but so full of love. He’s perfect.

‘I can’t wait to tell you guys the birth story… it was, let’s just say, eventful. But it turned out perfectly and we’re so grateful.’

She then took a video alongside her husband and asked if he could sum up the birthing experience in one word.

‘So many words that I can think of,’ he said. 

‘Heart-wrenching… and put your best foot forward.’ he cryptically added.

‘It’s a story for the ages!’ his wife chimed in.
