The brunette posted a mirror selfie and posed in a long sleeve grey top that was pulled up to expose her stomach.
She wrote in part of her post: ‘I can’t believe I’m half way through my pregnancy! Am I the only one who has been super slack on getting bump pics?? I feel like I am!’
The couple announced their pregnancy back in July, in an interview with The Sunday Telegraph.
‘I felt I was going to hit 40 and I wanted another opportunity as a dad,’ Grant told the publication at the time.

‘The trouble with being divorced is you’re a father part-time. I hate that,’ Grant, who shares twins Charlize and Jagger, nine, with ex-wife Candice Alley added.
‘I knew I wanted more children but only with a committed person who was going to be a life partner.’
Grant described his relationship with Sharlene as ‘incredible’ and said the vegan desserts entrepreneur is a good influence on him.

The happy news comes after Sharlene suffered a miscarriage in March this year.
Grant met Sharlene on the Gold Coast in 2015, and began dating in August last year.
The pair have since relocated to Melbourne, so that Grant can be close to his two children.
