The soon-to-be mum was glowing in a white cardigan that was unbuttoned to show of her growing baby bump. 

She paired the look with white trousers and wore her hair in loose plaits, as she beamed with joy in both photos.  

Conor looked casual chic in a pair of denim jeans and a navy floral button up shirt as he cradled Chanel in his arms.

Shortly after the couple made the announcement they were inundated with well wishes from a number of their felloe Bachelor and Bachelor in Paradise co-stars.

‘AHHHHHHH!!!! SO BLOODY HAPPY FOR YOU GUYS!’ Alisha Aitken-Radburn wrote, before her boyfriend Glenn Smith added: ‘Omg omg omg omg omg. So excited and happy for you guys!!!!!!’

Mary’s Bachelor co-star, Emma Roche also joined the chorus of well-wishes writing: ‘Huuuuuuge congratulations!!!’

Meanwhile, Cassandra Mamone commented: ‘Woop woop what a tough little secret. Congratulations to you’. 

Mary and Connor met on the third season of the Channel Ten dating show earlier this year.  

And, the pair have gone from strength to strength since leaving the drama-filled show, with Mary moving to Hobart with her daughter, Chanel, to be closer to Conor. 

In August, Conor told The Mercury the couple are ‘loving life’ in the Tasmanian city.

‘[Bachelor in Paradise] was incredible. I had a rollercoaster of a time and ended up meeting Mary, so I couldn’t ask for more,’ he said.

‘Mary and her daughter Chanel are settled in Hobart now and loving life. It has been touching to see how invested so many people were with the relationship.’
