Big Brother couple Elsa Rae and Marcus John have announced they are expecting their first child. This announcement comes just months after they met on the latest season of the ITV reality show, where their romance blossomed in front of the audience.

Elsa, a 21-year-old content creator, and Marcus, a 22-year-old mechanical engineer, found love in September, surprising viewers. During the show, fans witnessed their relationship, even expressing their love in the final week. Despite accusations of a 'showmance', their relationship has strengthened since leaving the house.

On the show, Richard was crowned the winner, with Elsa as runner-up, but the couple found something more valuable in each other. They have shared several important milestones on their social media, including a 'girlfriend' proposal, and now, the announcement that they are expecting a baby.

In an Instagram post, the couple wrote: 'We've been keeping a little secret...our bubba due October 2026! We are so very excited.' The post included a photo of a rabbit blanket, matching booties, a onesie with the phrase 'and then there were three' and an ultrasound of the baby.

Their co-stars were quick to react. Teja wrote 'So excited', Zelah commented 'Congratulations guys', Jenny Baird added 'Congratulations', Emily Hewertson shared 'Omg congrats guys!' and Tate wrote 'Hearts bursting, yous will be the best mum and dad'.

In December, Elsa described their relationship as 'two peas in a pod', and Marcus agreed that they were 'synced up'. During the show, Marcus confessed in the diary room: 'Things with Elsa couldn't be any better. I think she knows that I've got a lot of love for her. And I was reluctant to use that word, but that's where we are, that's where I'm at anyway'.

Shortly after the finale, Marcus decorated a hotel room with red heart balloons and petals to ask Elsa the question: 'Will you be my girlfriend?'. Their unexpected romance was a bright spot in a season marked by controversy, especially centered on contestant George.

George was eventually removed from the house for 'repeated use of unacceptable language and behavior... with immediate effect' for his comments about the Jewish community, immigration, and Black women, among others, which sparked negative reactions.

The couple continues their relationship outside the show, sharing their happiness with their followers and now preparing for the arrival of their first child.
