Leah Costa has revealed she is pregnant, expecting her first child with partner Dempsey Kelly.

The former Bachelor and Bachelor In Paradise star announced the exciting news in an Instagram post shared with her 22,400 followers on Friday.

Sharing a photo of a baby onesie with the caption: ‘Pack my diapers, I’m going fishing with Daddy’, as well as two sonogram images of her unborn baby, Leah was thrilled with the update.

‘What a crazy perfect few years! 2022 we met and life finally just made sense, 2023 we bought our dream home and decided we were ready to grow our family, 2024 and we are so excited to meet our little boy in September,’ she captioned her post.

The former reality star also said she and her partner, who now live in Western Australia, are ‘soon to be a family of six’ – including their three dogs.

Leah’s post was met with warm wishes and congratulations from fans.

‘So happy for you my love, motherhood is such a beautiful journey you will be such an amazing mama xxx,’ Survivor star Felicity Egginton commented.

‘It’s a boy!!! The best news xx,’ another friend wrote.

Leah, who looks to have given up her OnlyFans career for a more laid back lifestyle, appeared on Channel Ten’s reality dating series The Bachelor in 2017.

In 2020, she was named one of the top creators on the adult-based subscription website, which led some to dub her ‘the new queen’ of OnlyFans.

‘It’s been a wild ride and I’m grateful for the support, looking forward putting my finances into new and exciting business ventures,’ the architecture graduate told Daily Mail Australia in December 2020.

Leah quit her corporate job and relied on her OnlyFans earnings until she could establish her own construction firm. 

Once boasting a growing army of followers, Leah admitted she was initially hesitant to launch her page for fear of being attacked by trolls.

‘I was terrified of the backlash and the impact to my personal life, but it’s been fine, everyone’s been very supportive and understanding,’ she explained.

In November 2020, Leah penned a heartfelt essay about her decision to start an OnlyFans account, writing on Instagram: ‘Back in 2017, I decided to throw my hat in the ring and participate in a little TV show called The Bachelor.’

‘It was meant to be some light-hearted fun, where I could possibly find love,’ she continued.

‘What followed was an experience which I can only identify as intense widespread s**t-shaming… for working as a topless waitress.’

Leah explained she’d decided to start an OnlyFans account to take back ownership of her body, labelling herself an ’empowered woman’.

She added: ‘This is a woman on top, a woman in charge and a woman who won’t allow anyone to dictate or her choices or [be] forced to feel ashamed of her body.’
