Love Island Australia 2024’s Sophie Mills has announced that she’s expecting her first baby with her boyfriend, Isaiah Edwards, saying that while it was initially a shock, she and her partner couldn’t be more excited.
In an exclusive interview with Chattr, Sophie, who is just over 13 weeks along, said that she didn’t have any inkling that she was pregnant when she took the test.
“It was a complete and utter surprise. I actually did the test just for fun. I saw a single last pregnancy test in my drawer, and I just did it because I was like, ‘Oh, I’ll just get rid of this’. And I actually left it and kind of forgot about it for a little bit and came back, and it was very positive,” she said.
Sophie said she felt “shocked, scared, excited, and grateful” when she saw the double lines on the test, but her boyfriend’s reaction calmed her down and helped her overcome the initial shock.
“My partner was absolutely amazing. I was sort of shaking and crying and scared and whatnot, and he just hugged me, and he was so calm, cool, and collected. It made me feel so good knowing that he was calm about it all and happy with it all. It obviously took him a little bit to set in, but he knew I needed my calm person, and I said, ‘Are you not freaking out?’, and he just said ‘No, not at all’. So he was very excited,” she explained.
“We are so freaking excited. I can’t even explain it. Obviously, once the initial shock wore off, we were just like over the moon, and all our friends and family are just as over the moon, if not more.”
Sophie shares how her pregnancy journey has been going so far
At 13 weeks, Sophie and Isaiah could find out the gender of their baby, but they’ve decided to keep it a surprise until he or she is born.
“We do not know the gender, and we’re actually not finding out the gender. We’re having a big fat surprise,” Sophie laughed.
While Sophie is thrilled about her pregnancy, she admitted that the first trimester has come with its challenges.
“The first trimester has been pretty rough. I’ve been hit with pretty bad nausea, vomiting, and insomnia, and everything else that you can think of that you could have, which has made life a little bit tricky. I’ve kind of been hibernating a little bit.
“But nonetheless, I’m just so grateful and feel so blessed. And every time I’m nauseous or vomiting, and then we go and get a scan or something, you just are reminded that it’s all worth it.”
The Love Island star added that one of her favourite things about pregnancy so far is the way Isaiah has supported and cared for her throughout it.
“He’s been the most amazing person in the entire world. I could not ask for a better partner. He’s been the most supportive person, so understanding, so helpful and beautiful to me and baby. He already talks to baby every day, even though they can’t hear! He is just so so beautiful. He’s going to be the best dad ever. I cannot wait to see him as a father.”
A huge congratulations to Sophie and Isaiah!
