Fans were quick to rush to the comments section to congratulate the star on her new bundle of joy. Many also took to congratulating Rebecca's partner Luke, as many shared in the couple's excitement.
"Congratulations Bec and Luke! Very exciting news," penned one happy fan. "You look amazing," wrote a second, whilst a third added: "We're so excited for you guys!!"
Doting dad Luke also confirmed the news on his own social media channels, sharing his wife's post to his story. He added in the caption: "I'm the luckiest man, husband & soon to be Dad (!!) in the UNIVERSE."
Luke and Rebecca have been happily together for some 15 years after they first met on the set of Home and Away, which airs in the UK on Channel 5. First laying eyes on each other in 2009, Luke starred Romeo Smith on the soap, while Rebecca won fans over as no-nonsense Ruby.
After three years of dating, Luke plucked up the courage the question in May of 2012, with the couple officially tying the knot in January of 2013. Since then, the couple have been happily loved up, moving to the US for a number of years, before deciding to return to Australia.
Speaking about her move back home, Rebecca said in an interview with Aussie mag TV Week: "It's been really, really nice just to ground ourselves and be back home; I finally have a garden – I've been wanting to have a vegetable garden for so long. So we're literally putting down roots back home and that has been very soothing for the soul."
