A fourth snap captured a smiling McNaught with her new fiancé, and sons Obi, Evander and Ennio.
One-year-old Obi is the youngest child of McNaught, who also shares two older children, Evander, seven, and Ennio, five, with her ex-husband, musician Example.
The wonderful news comes less than a year after McNaught shared an update on son Obi's recovery after he underwent surgery to remove a brain tumour.
The tumour was discovered after the parents noticed a "rapid decline in Obi's behaviour and happiness". They revealed the diagnosis in June 2025.

In the update, the star revealed "Obi has blown us away with his recovery. Day by day, achieving more and more."
The model and actress said whilst they "still don't know what his future holds, but then again no one ever does", for now they are "filled with joy, and happiness, and a deep sense of gratitude".
"We hold him close, and we hold our big boys, and we marvel at our little family, and how lucky we are. And we love each other the hardest."

McNaught first found fame as a model, representing Australia in the Miss Universe competition in 2006. This was followed by a successful stint on Neighbours before she moved to the MTV Hits Weekly Hot30 Countdown show.
