Olympia Valance has given fans a glimpse of what her new baby’s nursery will look like.
The actress, who recently announced her pregnancy with ex-AFL star husband Thomas Bellchambers, took to Instagram on Tuesday to share a video as she and Thomas decorated the room for their child.
Olympia, 31, shared photos of Thomas, 35, assembling the baby’s wooden crib.
She also posted a video of them putting together a matching dresser for their incoming bundle of joy.
Olympia announced her joyful pregnancy news in an Instagram post in August, opening up about her fertility struggles before her “miracle baby” came along.
In photos shared to her social media account, Thomas cradled Olympia’s growing baby bump as she took a positive pregnancy test.
“I’ve been hiding for the past five and a half months to make sure this wasn’t all a dream,” she began in her caption.
“But you kept growing and growing and it’s starting to look like our dreams have finally come true.”

‘I have been as open and honest as I could about our struggles with infertility and I truly believed that this day would not be possible for us. So when I saw this positive pregnancy test, I have to admit I wasn’t jumping for joy at that moment.
‘I was full of fear because that’s all I’ve known. But as the weeks went by, it was hard to wipe the smiles off our faces.”
The former Neighbors star noted her excitement about starting a family as she thanked their supporters who stood by them during their “darkest days.”

“To the little one we never thought we’d meet, we can’t wait to hold you in our arms. You were worth every tear, every setback and every prayer,” she continued.
‘To all the people who supported us through the darkest days: thank you. I know I wouldn’t have gotten to this point without the strength of my family and friends who managed to keep me up when I was falling apart.”
In May, the former soap star said the lengthy IVF process had left her exhausted and she hit rock bottom after a tragic miscarriage.
“My body was exhausted and my mind was exhausted,” she said in an interview with The Daily Telegraph.

‘I have always been an outgoing, happy person and found myself becoming a recluse. I needed a complete reset.”
In July 2023, Olympia revealed she had miscarried twins during the Covid pandemic and later that year revealed she had suffered a second miscarriage at six weeks.
She said she was reluctant to “go down the IVF path” because she “never handled hormones well.”
“Adding more hormones to my raging cycle is scaring me to death,” she admitted, but said she didn’t visit a fertility specialist.
“I want babies and I will do anything to have them,” Olympia concluded.
