Married At First Sight star Booka Nile reveals she is expecting her first child

Married At First Sight star Booka Nile has revealed she is pregnant with her first child. 

The Perth rocker made an announcement via Instagram on Thursday, telling fans in a lengthy post she is expecting. 

Holding up a tiny white jumpsuit, Booka wrote: ‘Motherhood was not something I ever thought I’d experience. 

She continued: ‘It just didn’t feel like it could or would ever happen for me.’ 

Booka said she came to the realisation that while the circumstances may never be right, she has accepted it. 

‘I don’t think they’ll ever be ‘right’ but my baby boy does not really gaf about that,’ she joked. 

‘It just didn’t feel like it could or would ever happen for me,’ she wrote. ‘Against all odds he has made himself a little home inside my belly and is growing bigger and stronger every day’

‘Against all odds he has made himself a little home inside my belly and is growing bigger and stronger every day.’

The reality star went on to say that both herself and the baby’s father were excited to welcome their little child. 

‘After giving it a lot of thought we realised we wanted to be his mum and dad, even though we aren’t together and have no plans to be,’ she wrote. 

‘After giving it a lot of thought we realised we wanted to be his mum and dad, even though we aren’t together and have no plans to be,’ Booka wrote, saying she plans to co-parent

‘We’re working on becoming great friends and plan to co-parent together. Our only goal is that our son is loved and cared for by both of us and that he grows up knowing how loved he is by his mum and dad.’

Booka went on to say that her baby boy has changed her life, giving the ‘saddest, most defeated version of myself joy, happiness and hope again.

‘I’m working hard every day now to become the best version of myself possible and I’m doing it for him,’ she wrote.

‘I’ll never be able to express how grateful I am to my son for being the ONLY one in the world who was able to pull me out of the darkness I was in. He is the miracle I didn’t know I needed.’

She finished by saying she is counting down the days until she meets him. 

Booka did not reveal the identity of the father in her post. 

Booka was partnered with electrician and psychology student Brett Helling on Married At First Sight in 2021, but they split before the final vows.

Helling later said the pair had ‘tunnel vision’ on the show, and realised their relationship wouldn’t last in the outside world.

‘Booka and I were hanging out one day and we were just having a chat about life and all kinds of things. I think we both just came to the realisation that it wasn’t something we wanted to pursue outside of the experiment,’ he said.

Booka was later romantically linked to tattooed musician Corey Freear after they were spotted holding hands in Perth.
