Ellie Dix and Jono McCullough Expecting First Child

Ellie Dix and Jono McCullough Expect First Child Together in April 2027

Married at First Sight alumni Ellie Dix and Jono McCullough are expecting their first child together, with an official due date set for April 2027, nine.com.au reported. The couple shared their pregnancy announcement on Instagram after coping with a previous pregnancy loss.

Pregnancy After Past Heartbreak

Finding out they were expecting brought a complex mix of joy and caution for the couple. I took the test first thing in the morning, Ellie recalled to nine.com.au. When Jono got home from work, I told him straight away. But we didn’t just jump up and down celebrating. We’ve been there before, and we knew how fragile those early days really are.

The experience made the initial weeks emotionally guarded. It’s really emotionally complex when you’re pregnant after a loss, Ellie said. You want to be thrilled, but your heart automatically guards itself. To protect their peace during the early stage, the couple kept the news strictly private, sharing it only with close family and friends, including Jono’s father and stepmother.

Building a Life Away From the Spotlight

In the three years since their time in the public eye, the couple has balanced relationship milestones with career ventures. Jono launched an arborist business alongside former co-star Tim Calwell, while the pair managed home renovations and two overseas trips this year. Work has been flat out with the new business, but life is good, Jono told nine.com.au.

Their pregnancy announcement video featured a sonogram paired with a throwback clip from Married at First Sight. In the clip, the late Mel Schilling asked Ellie about her future goals, prompting Ellie to describe a dream involving a white picket fence, a baby, and the average Australian dream.
