‘It’s hard to talk about. Everyone’s got an opinion on it so I kind of keep it a little bit low-key. But of course, we do want children!’
The Love Island Australia host froze her eggs two years ago, a move which she says takes the pressure off ‘a bit’.
‘I’ve got them as back-up!’ she added.
Back in March, Sophie said on KIIS FM’s Kyle and Jackie O Show that the pair would consider adopting a child if they struggled to fall pregnant.

She said: ‘If you couldn’t then we would do a different plan but I have frozen heaps of eggs.’
Sophie and Josh confirmed their engaged to Joshua on January 15, after months of speculation.
The couple first met on a flight from Europe to Australia in August 2018, and shared a kiss after enjoying ‘three champagnes’ in business class.
They grew closer when Joshua helped Sophie recover after endometriosis surgery in November. Around this time, she also began the process of freezing her eggs.

Back in July 2019, Sophie admitted she was hoping Joshua would propose, sharing a telling message on Instagram on their two-year anniversary.
‘Happy anniversary @joshuargross, I can’t believe you’ve put up with me for two years,’ she wrote.
‘I love you so much and you’re my best friend in the world… I can’t wait to marry you (hint hint).’
