Former Home and Away stars Rebecca Breeds and Luke Mitchell have shared joyful news with fans, confirming they are expecting their child together.

Australian actress Rebecca Breeds, 37, revealed her pregnancy as she walked the red carpet at the Adelaide Film Festival. She attended the premiere of Kangaroo Island, where she plays Lou Wells, a Hollywood actress who returns home to confront painful family history. Wearing a soft pink gown that highlighted her growing bump, Rebecca smiled proudly while holding her belly.

She posted the photo on Instagram with the caption:
“VERY excited to share baby Mitchell and @kangarooislandmovie coming sooooooooon! Thanks @adlfilmfest for having us and everyone who came to support us.”

Fans immediately filled her comments with congratulations.
Messages poured in: “Congratulations Bec and Luke!”, “OMG CONGRATULATIONS,” and “You look amazing.” Many celebrated the couple’s long journey together, calling the announcement “beautiful” and “well-deserved.”

Luke Mitchell also shared the moment on Instagram, resharing Rebecca’s post with the message:
“I’m the luckiest man, husband & soon-to-be Dad (!!) in the UNIVERSE.”

A Love Story That Started in Summer Bay

Rebecca and Luke met on the set of Home and Away in 2009. She played Ruby Buckton, while he played fan-favourite Romeo Smith. Their on-screen chemistry continued off-screen and blossomed into a long-term relationship.

They became engaged in May 2012 and married eight months later in January 2013. After several years in the United States to pursue acting opportunities, they moved home to Australia to reconnect with family and build a quieter life.

Rebecca previously told 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.”

Luke and Rebecca described their years abroad as rewarding but challenging.
Rebecca added:
“It was really powerful to have someone who was your anchor and your home base. Moving away from everything you’ve ever known can be very difficult. Our industry has a lot of pressure, highs and lows, and it can be very lonely. Having each other made all the difference.”

A New Chapter Begins

The couple’s baby announcement marks a beautiful new stage in their 15-year love story. Fans of Home and Away have thrilled in watching their journey evolve from Summer Bay co-stars to life partners — and now, soon, parents.

Their child is expected in 2026, and the pair have already received overwhelming support from fans across Australia and beyond.
