MasterChef Australia judge Andy Allen has been open about his desire to start a family with his wife Alex, and his dream is coming true! The adorable couple shared a carousel of photos on Instagram to reveal they’re welcoming their first baby in April 2026.
In one of the photos, Andy gently holds his hand on Alex’s baby bump while she looks at him lovingly.
“We’ve been cooking up something pretty special… welcoming a little duckling in April!” the pair wrote in the caption.
After just 13 hours, the post had racked up over 31,000 likes, with many MasterChef Australia celebrities flooding the comments with congratulations.
“Oh you are [in] for such a treat,” winner Julie Goodwin gushed.
“Eeeeeeep this is amazing news. Congrats you guys!!!!!” fellow judge Poh Ling Yeow wrote.
“BEST NEWS! Congrats lovers,” added judge Sofia Levin.
“So so exciting! Congratulations,” the most recent winner Laura Sharrad commented.
In the comments, Alex told fans the pregnancy photoshoot wasn’t planned, and she sneakily tacked it on to the end of a photoshoot for Andy’s restaurant, Three Blue Ducks.
“Shout out to my girl Alexandra Drewniak,” Alex wrote. “May or may not have hijacked the end of a Ducks photoshoot… thank you.”
Andy also shared a snap of Alex with a pram on his Instagram story. “And so it begins,” he wrote.
Andy and Alex celebrate their three-year wedding anniversary
This baby news comes just a month after Alex and Andy celebrated their three-year wedding anniversary.
Alex shared a wedding video on Instagram in October, saying:
Three years [with] Andy and every year just gets better. We started a tradition where we go back and watch our wedding video each anniversary, and it just makes me the happiest person in the world reliving our celebration over and over.
“Such a special day with all our favourite people, literally THE BEST.”
The pair dated for four years before Andy popped the question in New Zealand. The couple tied the knot at Terrara House in NSW, before heading back to New Zealand for their honeymoon.
We’re so happy for these two lovebirds and can’t wait to meet the mini MasterChef Australia baby in 2026.
