Neighbours star Scarlet Vas recently revealed she's expecting a baby with her husband, Tayo Ricci.

At 29 years old, Scarlet, known for her role as Mishti Sharma in the Australian soap, took to Instagram to announce her pregnancy. This joyous news follows their marriage last year when she wed Tayo, who is now 27.

The influencer, recognised for playfully dubbing Tayo as her "stepbrother", shared her pregnancy back in September. Since the announcement, she has been keeping her followers updated on the progress of her pregnancy journey.

In their reveal post on Instagram, which included a montage, Scarlet and Tayo captivated their followers with the message: "Baby Ricci. Our Christmas miracle."

Within the montage was a moment capturing their reactions to the positive pregnancy test result, followed by a scene of Scarlet during an ultrasound scan. Another touching segment showed Tayo planting a kiss on Scarlet's growing baby bump.

With an impressive following of 6million on TikTok, in addition to managing an OnlyFans account, Scarlet and Tayo posted images that put the spotlight on her pregnancy curve. Their heartfelt caption read: "And then there were three. We can't wait to meet you."

Earlier this month, a baby shower was thrown for Scarlet, who appeared on Neighbours between 2017 and 2018. She shared glimpses from the celebration online, expressing excitement about meeting her "new little best friend" with her fans.

A year after Scarlet and Tayo tied the knot, their fans rejoiced in the news. The romantic ceremony took place on the enchanting island of Mykonos in Greece, back in September. Both have given their followers glimpses into the beautiful occasion; notably, Scarlet shared a vlog on YouTube documenting their idyllic trip.

More recent celebrations saw Scarlet commemorating her first wedding anniversary to social media sensation Tayo, who commands an impressive 8 million TikTok followers, with a touching Instagram post two months past. Her heartfelt caption read: "One year ago today I married the love of my life."

The couple has been at the centre of media curiosity due to whispers about them being "stepsiblings". Scarlet has opted to maintain their family dynamics under wraps, showing respect for their family's privacy, as reported by news.com.au. Despite this, she has clearly communicated that they are not related by blood, affirming that they've known each other for years without any familial ties.
