I was devastated when I realised I was pregnant with a baby boy – I wanted a girl, says Married At First Sight star
A MARRIED At First Sight UK star has revealed their disappointment at falling pregnant with a baby boy.
The TV favourite – who rose to fame on the dating show in 2019 – revealed she was expecting her first child last year.
Martha Kalifatidis met her husband Michael Brunelli on MAFS Australia, and the pair have been going strong ever since.
The reality stars revealed they were set to welcome their first child together last September with an announcement online.
Martha, 34, and Michael, 31, who fell in love on the programme, went on to reveal they were expecting a son.
However, the influencer has since opened up about feeling “disappointed” she wasn’t due to have a daughter.
Speaking on KISS FM’s Will and Woody show today, Martha said she “was so upset” when she found out the baby’s sex.
“Guys I was 100% sure I was having a girl, like I had only opened girl clothing tabs on my phone,” she explained.
“I was so convinced. There was no chance in my mind it was going to be a boy, I had planned my whole life for this girl.
“I’ll be so honest. At the beginning, I was devastated like I was so upset. It took me a few days to come to terms with it.”
Martha and Michael revealed their baby news last year, as she revealed she was suffering from severe sickness.
Michael told their fans: “We wanted to explain our situation and make a little bit of an announcement. Martha is pregnant.”
Smiling next to her fiance, Martha continued: “It hasn’t been this exciting, wonderful time for us. I don’t want to sound like I’m complaining.
“We are so excited, we are so happy, it was a complete surprise. But at five weeks I was diagnosed with Hyperemesis Gravidarum.
“Which is severe chronic nausea and vomiting with no relief. It is 24-7. I literally didn’t get out of bed for two months.”
Martha revealed that the horrifying sickness meant she lost ten kilograms in weight in just a matter of weeks.
“We have been in and out of the emergency room and hospital”, she said, before revealing she was being treated with “life-changing” medication to tackle the nausea.
The couple – who were wed on Married At First Sight in 2019 – announced they had got engaged in real life in December.
They showed off a snap of Martha’s impressive diamond ring, two years after their series of the dating show aired in the UK.
