The Block’s Haydn Wise and his wife Chelsea have announced they are expecting their second child.
The birth of the couple’s first child took place during the first week of filming Australia’s favorite home renovation show.
In the series, Haydn, who competes this season alongside his best friend Ricky Recard, was flown out of Phillip Island by helicopter for the birth of his daughter.
Filming on the series wrapped in June and now the Victorian couple have revealed that baby number two is already on the way.
“Within the first month of him coming home, it happened. Everyone is a little, but shocked. I guess when it rains, it pours’, Chelsea, 36, told Now to love.
The expectant mother told the publication that she is now 14 weeks pregnant.
“Haydn and I, as you know, were separated from The Block for a while, so the reunion was wonderful,” she said.
An early teaser for Nine’s 20th anniversary season showed Chelsea’s early delivery via caesarean section throwing bathroom week into chaos.
The Block’s Haydn Wise and his wife Chelsea have announced they are expecting their second child, who was conceived within weeks of wrapping filming on Nine in June.
The preview showed Blockhead Haydn receiving an emergency call from his partner just as things were heating up on the construction site.
After hearing that his wife was ‘going into premature labour’, the Melbourne IT manager seemed surprised by the news.
While Haydn was left visibly shaken, host Scott Cam was clearly delighted at the news of a ‘Baby Blockhead’.
“I’m going to be an uncle,” he exclaimed.

The pregnancy announcement comes after the couple shared their news Women’s Day that they had undergone rounds of IVF, their last cycle early last year, before their daughter Matilda was conceived naturally and came along five months ago.
“We thought there was no chance we would ever become parents,” Haydn explained.
“She is 100 percent a miracle,” Chelsea, 36, told the publication at the time, adding that the baby came via emergency C-section in March.
“We had been trying for nine years and we knew pretty quickly that we weren’t going to get one naturally, or we didn’t think we were, so we went through the IVF process,” Haydn said.
The pregnancy announcement comes after the couple said on Women’s Day that they had undergone rounds of IVF, their last cycle early last year, before their daughter Matilda was conceived naturally and came along five months ago.
“That went on for a number of years, then we had Covid in between and it stopped, and then we gave up.”
The couple calls little Matilda a ‘unicorn baby’ and couldn’t be happier with their little family.
“We didn’t expect it to happen so quickly, given our previous problems,” Chelsea continued. “But we had heard that it can happen quite quickly after the first one.”
The second baby is expected on March 29, 2025.
This means that Tilly will become a big sister a few days before her own first birthday.
“She is 100 percent a miracle,” Chelsea, 36, told Woman’s Day at the time, adding that the baby came via C-section in March.
