Home and Away stars Rebecca Breeds and Luke Mitchel are expecting their first child.

Rebecca, 37, took to Instagram on Tuesday to share a photo that showed her happily cradling her growing baby bump of the red carpet at the Adelaide Film Festival.

Wearing a stunning white gown with a thigh-high split, Rebecca looked radiant as she happily posed for photographers.

Captioning the post, Rebecca revealed the auspicious news along with the release of her new film Kangaroo Island. 

‘VERY excited to share baby Mitchell and @kangarooislandmovie coming sooooooooon! Thanks @adlfilmfest for having us and everyone who came to support us,’ Rebecca wrote.

The post was met with a flurry of congratulations from followers including her former Home And Away co-star Lynne McGranger.

‘Congratulations Bec and Luke, very exciting news,’ the actress wrote.

Todd Lasance, who played Aidan Ross on Home and Away, also offered his best wishes with: Wooooo!!!!! Congratulations guys!!! So stoked for you both!’

Sharing the same pic to his Instagram Stories, Luke also shared the news with his legion of followers.

‘I’m the luckiest man, husband and soon-to-be dad in the universe,’ he excitedly wrote.

The pair, who starred as Ruby Buckton and Romeo Smith respectively, found love on the Channel Seven soap before Luke popped the question in 2012.

They tied the knot a year later, in January 2013.

The couple relocated to the US where Rebecca nabbed roles such as the iconic Clarice Starling in the CBS Silence of the Lambs spin-off series Clarice, and as Nicole in Pretty Little Liars.

After moving stateside, Luke also nabbed roles in the CW’s Tomorrow People and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

The couple relocated back to Australia around three years ago. 

In 2023, Rebecca told TV Week the move home had been ‘good for the soul.’

‘It’s been really, really nice just to ground ourselves and be back home,’ she said.

‘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.’

She added that her time in the US was made so much easier thanks to the fact that Luke was by her side.  

‘It was really powerful to have someone who was your anchor and your home base, because it can be a very difficult experience, moving away from everything you’ve ever known,’ she said.

‘Our industry has a lot of pressure and a lot of highs and a lot of lows. It can be very lonely.’
