Get ready for some heartwarming MAFS magic! Former Married At First Sight groom Nicolas Jovanovic is stepping into fatherhood, announcing that he and his stunning wife, Alex Caldwell, are expecting their first bundle of joy. The 34-year-old reality star, who first captured our hearts (and screens) back in 2019, dropped the exciting news on Instagram with a picture-perfect sunset snapshot that’s pure romance goals.
In the dreamy photo, the couple lounges on golden sand dunes at the beach, basking in the warm glow of twilight. Alex, absolutely radiant with that pregnancy glow, proudly shows off her growing baby bump in a sleek white singlet and flowy beige trousers, her bare feet sinking into the soft sand. Nic, ever the doting hubby, sits behind her in a breezy linen shirt and pale chinos, wrapping her in a tender embrace—one hand gently cradling her belly while the other sweeps her hair from her face. “Baby Jovanovic due May 2026,” he captioned the post, sealing it with a sunny yellow heart emoji and a shoutout to the photographer.
Fans and friends flooded the comments with congrats, and Nic couldn’t resist jumping back in to express his gratitude: “Alex and I are both so overwhelmed with all the love, thank you everyone!!” It’s the kind of wholesome update that has everyone swooning.
This baby bombshell lands just months after the pair said “I do” in a breathtaking ceremony amid the rolling hills of the Hunter Valley, NSW. Nic shared glimpses of their magical day back in June, revealing they exchanged vows on May 31 at the idyllic Redleaf venue in Wollombi. Looking every bit the dapper groom, Nic rocked a timeless black tuxedo complete with a bow tie and floral boutonniere. But all eyes were on Alex, who wowed in a fairy-tale WONÁ Concept gown featuring a sweetheart neckline, sparkling rhinestone details, and a dramatic tulle skirt that cinched perfectly at the waist. She completed the look with a flowing veil and a bouquet of pristine white peonies.
The wedding album was filled with swoon-worthy moments: one shot captured Nic gallantly lifting Alex’s train as they locked eyes in pure bliss, while another showed her leaning into him under the golden sunlight, surrounded by majestic trees. “Mr and Mrs Jovanovic ~ 31.05.25,” Nic captioned at the time, marking the start of their forever.
Nicolas shot to fame on the 2019 season of Married At First Sight after being paired with Cyrell Paule, who became known as Cyclone Cyrell for her outspoken style
Their whirlwind romance hit another high note less than a year earlier when Nic popped the question during a romantic escape to Lake Como, Italy. He shared the joyful moment with photos of the duo toasting with champagne on a speedboat, Alex flashing her dazzling diamond ring while Nic beamed ear-to-ear. In a sweet video clip right after the proposal, he announced to fans: “She said ‘yes’.”
For those who remember Nic’s MAFS days, he first rose to fame on the 2019 season, where he was matched with the fiery Cyrell Paule—affectionately dubbed “Cyclone Cyrell” for her bold personality. Though their on-screen union fizzled out before final vows, they parted amicably. Cyrell went on to find love with Love Island Australia’s Eden Dally, and the pair now share an adorable son, Boston.
After his MAFS chapter, Nic played it cool with his personal life, keeping things under wraps until he softly launched his relationship with Alex on Instagram in July 2023 via a cozy couple selfie. From quiet debuts to lakeside proposals, fairy-tale weddings, and now a baby on the way—Nic and Alex’s love story is the ultimate feel-good glow-up. Congrats to the soon-to-be parents; we can’t wait to meet Baby Jovanovic!
