Finally it emerged in September, the former Voice Australia coach is set to welcome her child next year.

The parents-to-be wed in a small church in Darwin in July 2022, with the reception at the Mindil Beach Casino Resort.

Magripilis proposed to Mauboy in 2019 but because of the COVID-19 pandemic, their wedding was delayed.

The couple met when Mauboy was 18 and out clubbing with friends in her hometown of Darwin.

After seven years of long-distance romance, Darwin-born Magripilis moved to Sydney in September 2016 to live with then-girlfriend Mauboy.

The couple often returns to Darwin to visit family when there are no work commitments.

Mauboy previously told Sunrise their wedding was “a long time coming”.

“We always spoke about it (getting married) and we would talk about how strong our families are and they get along really well,” she said in January 2022.

“I was always on edge of ‘I don’t know if this is gonna work’...

“I think it really helped that he didn’t know who I was, and we made a pact that we were going to create this relationship and keep it alive.

“He’s such a good fella and I think it really helps that he doesn’t work in the music industry.”
