Neighbours star's big baby news
Beloved Neighbours star Matt Wilson has announced he is expecting another baby with his wife Jessica.
Playing the character Aaron Brennan on the popular soap, Wilson shared the exciting news on Instagram.
He teased: “A new addition to our retirement package. Boy or girl?”
After tying the know in 2019, the couple had a little boy together last year, and managed to keep the pregnancy on the down-low until he was born.
Matt's character Aaron Brennan was in the news a couple of weeks ago when it came to light that a controversial scene between Brennan and his on-screen partner Tanaka was cut short in the UK. The response at the time was overwhelming for fans of the show, who way back in 2016 were won over with the heartfelt storyline and queer visibility these two adored characters brought to the screen.
