The TV host initially announced she was expecting a baby via her Jesinta Franklin app, but kept the child's gender under wraps.
In her post, Jesinta admitted it had been a rocky journey to eventually fall pregnant.
"My husband and I are so incredibly excited and overjoyed to announce that we have a baby on the way," she wrote.
"The journey to get here hasn't been easy and this little life is the greatest gift and we feel truly blessed and grateful that we will have a little angel of our own.

The former Miss Universe Australia married the AFL star in November 2016 in the Blue Mountains. The new parents have been together for seven years.
