Love Island star Anna McEvoy is pregnant! Reality star reveals 'secret' baby in shock announcement with husband Michael Staples

As someone who has closely followed Anna McEvoy’s journey from Love Island Australia to her recent wedding and now expecting her first child, I must say it’s been an incredible rollercoaster of emotions! From her whirlwind romance with Josh Packham on the show, their breakup, and now finding true love with Michael – it’s truly heartwarming to see Anna embarking on this new chapter of her life.


Love Island alumna Anna McEvoy and her spouse Michael Staples, married for just half a year, are thrilled to announce they’re welcoming their first baby into the world.

On Sunday, the reality television personality, aged 32, announced some thrilling news on her Instagram account, accompanied by a heartwarming video compilation.

In May, the newlywed pair, who exchanged vows in a heartfelt Greek ceremony, appeared blissful and in love, with Anna proudly displaying her expanding belly.

Initially, the video seemed to show old clips of Anna and Michael when they were kids. However, it later switched to a scene where Anna and Michael were seen sitting in a car together.

‘The baby is ten weeks old and 3cms tall,’ the podcast host said with a bright smile. 

Anna and her partner were spotted leisurely walking along the beach, holding hands, with Anna displaying her baby bump in a white cropped top.

Additionally, various segments within the montage showcased glimpses of the affectionate couple visiting doctors, with some scenes depicting ultrasounds as well.

Michael could be heard saying: ‘They said everything looks good.’ 

Anna hinted that there’s something hidden… she’s already deeply cherished, sweet baby,” is one possible paraphrase for the original caption. The hashtags are omitted in this version, but their meaning can be inferred from context.

Later, she admitted that such posts might pose challenges for individuals going through infertility struggles.

She said, “We’re sending you an abundance of love because you’ll soon be cradling a little miracle in your arms.

Many well-known friends of Anna and Michael flooded the comment section to express their congratulations as they announced the arrival of a new addition to their family.

AFL WAG Rebecca Judd shared her ‘congrats’ alongside Anna’s podcast host Matt Zukowski.

As a die-hard admirer, I can’t contain my excitement seeing Alex Nation, Lana Wilkinson, and Lauren Dunn from Married At First Sight all expressing their happiness for this couple! It’s truly heartwarming to see them so enamored with each other.

Anna and Michael got married at a glamorous ceremony at Corfu in Greece earlier this year.

Instead of choosing a different month, the pair decided to host their wedding celebration in May at the prestigious Courti Estate, often referred to as an exquisite Corfu villa boasting nine guest rooms.

Anna looked gorgeous in a Alin Le’ Kal wedding dress from the Melbourne couture designer.

Apart from the bride, the groom too opted for an upscale appearance, donning a formal suit by the premium tailor Belancé, hailing from Sydney.

After they exchanged their vows, the newlyweds were showered with petals when the bride held a bouquet of white roses.

‘Our wedding day at The Courti Estate was magical,’ Anna told the Herald Sun at the time.

The fairytale European wedding we had envisioned became a reality, surpassing all expectations. Michael and I are overjoyed beyond words with the turnout.

Our family and friends have shown such a tremendous outpouring of love by traveling to Greece just to be with us.

This year, Anna disclosed on her podcast, “Where’s Your Head At?”, that her Greek marriage doesn’t actually hold legal weight.

‘I have a little secret. I have only decided this morning that I’m sharing this secret. Obviously we’re getting married in Greece, as you know,’ she began.

Later on, she mentioned that since the officiant she selected for their Greek wedding isn’t legally recognized, she opted to tie the knot with Michael first at home in Australia prior to their departure.

April 28th found us, along with our parents, at the registry office in Melbourne with Michael. Our fathers acted as witnesses during this unique occasion. As she put it, it was indeed a very memorable experience.

Anna described in detail the procedure for marrying at the historical registry office in Melbourne, noting: “It’s an exquisite, ancient structure.

The cost of the marriage registry is $500 for either a 6-person or 50-person room.

As an utterly smitten admirer, I can’t help but share the heartwarming detail that, just like a scene from a fairytale, the influencer revealed that the couple chose to profess their eternal love by standing before their parents, synchronizing their vows in perfect harmony with a resounding “I do”.

Anna remarked, “It felt incredibly uncomfortable. Picture a situation where your parents and your in-laws are intently observing you, while you and your partner stand there, intertwined by our hands.

Anna mused that the whole affair at the registry office seemed excessively formal and overly solemn.

She expressed that it seemed overly solemn, causing her to feel slightly uncomfortable, and then explained to Matt that she and Michael exchanged merely a gentle peck instead of a deep kiss during the closing of the ceremony.

Last year around this time, it became known that Anna had planned a wedding on the beautiful Greek island of Corfu, as she accepted Michael’s proposal in October 2022.

The location of their wedding ceremony was a completely refurbished nine-bedroom manor, which served as accommodation for both the bride, groom, and their families along with their closest companions during the event.

In the podcast from 2023, she shared that we’d paid a deposit for a wedding venue in Corfu, however, neither Michael nor myself had ever visited Corfu before.

The couple realized many individuals couldn’t make it to their wedding because of the travel distance involved.

So an intimate engagement party for family and friends was held in April.

On the second season of Love Island Australia, Anna became well-known and ultimately emerged victorious alongside Josh Packham. However, their relationship ended in December 2020.
