Ella Ding just announced she's expecting her first child in the sweetest way.

Former Married At First Sight star Ella Ding has announced she's pregnant with her first child.

Ella took to social media on Tuesday to share the news that she and her partner, Guy Palermo, were expecting.

The happy news comes just over a year after the couple secretly eloped, and surprised fans and loved ones by announcing they had tied the knot a month after their engagement.

"Somewhere between healing and hustling, the next chapter quietly chose us," she wrote.

"Baby Palermo, you've already made our story sweeter & given us the best news of 2025 yet!"

The announcement came alongside a beaming photo of Ella and Guy, who was seen cradling her bump and showing off their positive test.

In a sweet touch, Ella shared a compilation of Polaroids of her and Guy, their ultrasound and her growing bump with the caption "we love you already" scrawled across the bottom.

And, of course, we can't forget the oh-too-cute photo featuring their dog, Yuki.

The couple married in an intimate ceremony in Melbourne in April 2024, just one month after their engagement.

They surprised friends and family with wedding news at what loved ones thought was a party for Ella's 30th birthday.

Guests were then informed about the nuptials that had happened only hours earlier during an intimate elopement, as the video clip played.

Ella shared a three-minute-long clip on social media, with a caption that simply read, "We said I do."

The clip first showed photos and footage of Ella as a child before cutting to snippets of her getting ready to walk down the aisle.

"I believe every experience we have been through in life has prepared us to be ready for each other now," she said during her vows to her now-husband.

"Guy, you are my best friend, and I love you so much. Thank you for choosing me and what I come with, quirks and all," she continued, adding: "I can't wait to do the rest of my life with you."

Guy's speech was just as moving, as he described his new bride as "the single most beautiful thing in the world".

Ella and Guy got engaged during a run through a Sydney park and have been dating since January 2023 — although it wasn't until that April when she announced she was officially off the market thanks to her "normie" boyfriend.

"Normie and I have known each other for about six years. We have been friends for a really long time and we did actually date... but the timing was never in our favour," she said in an Instagram Q&A.

The pair dated briefly during lockdown, and had also gone on a date three years prior, but nothing ever eventuated.

That is, until they bumped into each other at Beyond The Valley Festival over New Year's 2022, and reconnected on the spot.

From there, love blossomed.

They quickly moved in together and share a dog named Yuki.
