Former Married At First Sight Australia star Lauren Huntriss has welcomed a baby girl with her fiancé Wade Burns.
The makeup artist shared the news on Instagram on Monday, revealing that her daughter Eden Rose Burns was born via emergency caesarean on August 13, 2026, at 11:46pm, weighing 3kg.
Writing in her social media caption, Huntriss stated that she was "beyond grateful that she is here, healthy and perfect" following the delivery.
The Instagram post featured a carousel of photos documenting the arrival of the newborn. In the first picture, baby Eden is seen sleeping peacefully in a bassinet, wrapped in a pink blanket with a plush toy by her side. Subsequent images show the baby awake and smiling, as well as the proud parents kissing and Huntriss holding her daughter.
Complications around the birth
The reality television personality went on to explain that the circumstances surrounding the birth were far from smooth.
"The circumstances around her arrival were honestly pretty shit," Huntriss wrote. She disclosed that her fiancé Wade and their two-year-old son, Henry, were both unwell and could not risk being close to the newborn baby.
"They only had very brief visit with us in hospital and had to spend the rest of the time recovering at home, which made those first few days incredibly emotional," Huntriss said.
The family has since been reunited at home after the isolation period. "We are just so happy to finally be reunited and back home together as a family again," she added.
Messages of support from fans
Following the announcement, well wishes and supportive comments quickly poured in from social media followers.
"Congratulations, she's perfect and like you say here safe so that's all that matters now," wrote one follower.
Another fan added: "I have been checking the gram for an update, yay she's here safe and healthy, congratulations to you and fam on baby Eden x hope you're recovering well." A third commented: "Welcome to the world, beautiful."
Family life and television background
Eden is the second child for Huntriss and Burns, who welcomed their first child, a baby boy named Henry, in July 2024.
Huntriss announced her engagement to Burns in June 2023 after two years together. Burns proposed to her following a romantic getaway to the Hunter Valley in New South Wales.
Sharing the proposal on Instagram alongside a photo of her husband-to-be while flashing her diamond engagement ring, Huntriss wrote at the time: "Today my best friend got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. It was the easiest yes! I can't wait to grow old with you."
Huntriss first rose to public prominence on season six of Married At First Sight Australia back in 2019. The reality television series pairs singles together in a relationship experiment. On the show, Huntriss was matched with contestant Matthew Bennett, though the couple failed to last.
