The couple are well-connected in Sydney's Eastern Suburbs, counting pilates queen Bernadette Fahey, interior designer Tamsin Johnson, and Melbourne style identity Patch Garnaut as close friends.
While Xanthe has yet to reveal her exact due date, her visible bump and third-trimester glow suggest the pair won't be waiting long to welcome their new arrival.

Tammy Hembrow shares before and after images of her weight loss as she reveals she 'didn't recognise herself' during marriage Matt Zukowski
Tammy Hembrow is fighting fit after confirming her split from her husband of seven months, Matt Zukowski. The influencer revealed on Sunday that she has toned up and body and lost weight since leaving the marriage. The 31-year-old shared a video that featured her look during and after her time with Matt, with Tammy having visibly trimmed down and gained muscle in recent weeks. In her caption, Tammy said she was feeling like herself again amid the painful and very public split. 'Guys I'm starting to feel like myself again. I don't even recognise myself in those first videos to be honest,' Tammy wrote in her caption. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'You won't always feel motivated, but you will never regret starting and investing in YOU,' she added, while also promoting her fitness app. It comes after Tammy hit back following Matt's recent comments about their split. She posted to Instagram on Thursday to post a video of her dancing with her daughter Posy, three, in the kitchen. However, despite it looking like a candid family moment, it's the choice of song that comes across as cutting. Tammy was seen in the clip dancing to Love Me Not by Ravyn Lenae, the same song that she and her sister danced to in the wake of her split announcement. Last month, Emilee posted a seemingly shady video of the pair enjoying a boogie to the song and fans flooded the comments section, noting that Emilee never had a good feeling about Matt and his relationship with her sister. 'Ooh, I know Emilee hated that man,' one person wrote. Another penned: 'Her sisters knew but what can you do but support and love Tammy. Your time will come.' 'You always knew he wasn't for her and he was going to hurt your sister,' another chimed in. On Thursday, Matt broke his silence regarding the pair's break-up in the latest episode of his Where's Your Head At? podcast alongside co-host Anna McEvoy. Matt admitted he is 'struggling a lot' and has been going to therapy regularly to help heal amid his divorce. 'I'm absolutely shattered to announce it, to be honest. But at the end of the day, we weren't right for each other and in this relationship, I've learnt a lot about myself,' he said. 'I've learnt a lot about what I need in a relationship and what's right for me. Moving forward, I'm gonna focus on myself and focus on healing and moving forward with my life.' Matt continued: 'I know there's a lot of speculation and people are looking for me to clear up all the whispers online but that's not me. 'This is literally real life, like, this is happening to me right now and I'm still trying to process it. I'm still trying to heal from it.' He said he has respect for Tammy and doesn't want to share private details about their relationship. 'This has been one of the toughest periods of my life and it's honestly been so stressful on my mental health,' Matt continued. 'Right now, I'm not in a place where I want to talk about this any further. But I've been hanging around my loved ones, my family. I've been going to therapy, which has helped heaps in navigating this time in my life.' Matt also thanked his fans and listeners for their 'understanding and kindness' over the past few weeks. Tammy and Matt confirmed they had split on social media last month. Love Island Australia star Matt, 29, announced the couple's separation in a sombre Instagram Story, telling fans the decision was not taken lightly. 'It's with a heavy heart I share that Tammy and I have decided to separate,' Matt began. 'Both of us have struggled with making this decision, however we need to do what is right for ourselves and her three children. 'This wasn't a decision we took lightly. Our time together will always be cherished and never forgotten,' he added, before thanking fans for their support and asking for privacy. Despite their short-lived marriage, both parties have asked for privacy as they adjust to life post-breakup. 'We appreciate everyone's support and space at this time as we navigate the split,' Matt concluded in his emotional post. Tammy later addressed the split in an emotional TikTok video, telling fans she would be getting a divorce. 'I don't want to get into the details and I want to be sensitive to everyone involved,' she told fans. 'Obviously, when you marry someone, you do it thinking that it is going to be forever, and I blame no one but myself,' Tammy continued while breaking down in tears. 'I've made not the best choices when it comes to relationships. I'm good at putting on rose-coloured glasses. 'Obviously, the worst part for me is that I have kids. I don't care about me, I know I will be okay, but I feel awful.' Tammy and Matt tied the knot in a beautiful ceremony at Chateau Du Soleil in Byron Bay on November 23. They got engaged in December 2023 following just three months of dating.

Laura Byrne reveals why she was forced to hide third pregnancy from husband Matty 'J' Johnson for months - as she shows off baby bump in glamorous photo shoot
is expecting her third child with husband Matty 'J' Johnson. The Bachelor star, who met Matty on the hit reality series in 2017, was unable to tell her husband the good news as he has at that time starring on I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! Australia and in the South African jungle. The reality star did not have a phone or contact with the outside world during filming - leaving Laura to experience the first few months of her pregnancy alone. 'I found out three or four days after Matt had his phone taken off him. He'd left for South Africa' Laura tells Stellar Magazine. 'He said his final goodbyes on text message and that was it. He wasn't accessible anymore. I was about 10 weeks by the time I was able to tell Matt I was pregnant. It was the biggest secret'. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Matt explained: 'I didn't know until I came back. I was completely ignorant to what was happening at home.' Alongside the interview, Laura showed off her baby bump in a glamorous photo shoot, posing at home with her husband and their two daughters, Marlie-Mae, six, and Lola, four. It comes after Laura shared a heartwarming tribute to Matty as he celebrated his 38th birthday. She posted to Instagram earlier this month to post a slew of sweet - and hilarious - photos, along with a caption gushing over her radio star hubby. 'Happy birthday to this glorious hunk of dad, the real MVP of this family and the man who thinks budgy smugglers are a complete summer wardrobe,' the 39-year-old wrote in her caption. 'We would be utterly lost without your daily silliness, your dedication to filling the green bin, and your 10 out of 10 chicken pies,' she hilariously penned. 'You're ageing like a fine wine (see pic 17 for proof) how lucky we are to do life by your side - WE LOVE YOU.' Laura recently made headlines for calling out her podcast host husband after he accidentally revealed the name of their unborn baby girl on-air. In June, the reality star was doing an 'ask me anything' questionnaire on her Instagram story when one of her followers brought up the moment, which she was seemingly unaware of. 'Did you punch Matt in the ovaries for revealing [your] baby name on Two Doting Dads?' the question read. Laura was clearly caught off-guard as she replied: 'He did f***ing what?!' Later on, the business owner brought up the blunder with her husband as they lay in bed together. 'Matt I have a question for you: did you say the girl's name, the baby's name, on the podcast?' she asked him in a clip posted to her Instagram story. He looked at his partner confused as he denied the accusation. 'I think you might have,' she told him, cheekily. 'I would never, never. Never would I say that,' he said defensively as the couple both broke out into giggles. Laura told the camera: 'People always ask us, 'how do you know the limits when you're telling stories and stuff on the podcast?' and normally we're pretty good... Normally.' Matty began to pipe up as he sported a giant smile on his face, clearly telling a fib. 'Whoever is spreading this false information, shame on you, because that's not true at all,' he said. While Matty may have mentioned the little girl's name, it seems it was edited out of the podcast as it could later no longer be found. In April, Laura announced on her podcast, Life Uncut, which she co-hosts with fellow reality star Brittany Hockley, that she was expecting her third daughter in October.

Sneak peak at cast's final days on Neighbours set as beloved Aussie soap wraps filming of last ever season
Fans are preparing for the end of long-running Aussie soap opera Neighbours and now they've been given a glimpse into the final days of production. A slew of photos were posted to Facebook and Instagram on Friday showing the cast during the last stretch of filming, along with a caption that pulled on long-time watchers' heartstrings. 'Today marks the final day of production on our beloved Neighbours,' it read. 'It's with a heavy heart that our incredible cast and crew wrap for the final time. As sad as this day may be, we can't wait for you to see the amazing storylines that are about to unfold over the coming six months.' The caption ended: 'Together we have been, and always will be, the perfect blend.' From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. In one of the images, veteran stars Stefan Dennis, Rebekah Elmaloglou, Jackie Woodburne and Alan Fletcher stood alongside each other with pained smiles as they waved goodbye to an era. Another showed the whole Neighbours cast dressed up warm as they posed on Ramsay Street for the last time during their final stint on set. As four decades of Neighbours came to an end last week, Annie Jones and Stefan Dennis showed support for their fellow cast members in an emotional final day on set. The actress, 55, first appeared on the beloved soap in 1986 as Jane Harris, aka Plain Jane Superbrain, and was on hand this week to offer a supportive shoulder. She was seen with her arm around fellow cast members as they came together to mark the end of an era at Melbourne's Nunawading studios. Annie chose to step away from the spotlight in 1989 to look after her late mother, Elizabeth, who battled Alzheimer's disease and passed away in 2016. She later reprised her role in 2018 and has been a regular fixture on the show ever since. Soap veteran Stefan, 66, who has played Paul Robinson on the series for four decades, was also seen on set for the final scenes of the concluding episode. The actor, who was part of the original Neighbours cast when it debuted in 1985, left the show in 1992 but returned in 2004. He clutched buckets of Chupa Chups lollipops for his castmates. 'I never thought a single show would give me the greatest adventures of my career, spanning 40 years,' Stefan said in a statement released by Prime Video. 'Without Neighbours, I would not have met the people, been to the places and lived the experiences of a lifetime.' The final episode of Neighbours is set to air on December 11, and the news will undoubtedly be a devastating blow to fans across the globe who have seen the ongoing drama axed three times. Just two years ago, fans were gearing up for what was then billed as the 'finale' before Amazon swooped in with a lifeline. The impact of Neighbours is immeasurable and has produced household names like Kylie Minogue and Margot Robbie. As this chapter of the Ramsay Street story comes to a close, executive producer Jason Herbison described the soap as 'special', adding that it has been a 'privilege' to oversee the recent seasons. The producer has been with the show intermittently since 1990 when he landed a storyliner position. He told Metro: 'We have added 460 episodes to our legacy of over 9000 episodes, something we all feel proud of. 'Once again, we will be resting the residents of Ramsay Street on a hopeful note, with some tantalising possibilities for a future chapter.' According to the publication, sets have already begun to be dismantled at the production base on the outskirts of Melbourne. The studio site, which was sold to property redevelopers several years ago but is on a long lease to programme-makers Fremantle Media, is expected to be reused for other productions in the future.
