Prior to the birth, Luke revealed he planned to take things as they come rather than read up on being a parent.

"I'm not a big reader into things and I haven't read any books on fatherhood, or what to expect when expecting — so I'm just going to take it how it comes and deal with things naturally. We're just getting as prepared as we can. Until she's born we won't know if she's a good sleeper, or easy to feed for example," Luke told 9Entertainment.

"I think we're definitely sold on having our wedding on the South Coast [of NSW]. We're definitely thinking towards the end of this year as we can get family members over from the UK," Luke said.

Though Luke and Olivia have only just become parents, they said there is potential for more kids down the track.

"We'd definitely like another kid, but you know I think we'll see how the first one plays out. I'm still young — I'm only 28 so we've got time on our side," Luke said.

Luke found fame when he and twin brother Josh took their search for the one on Love Island Australia. After the series, Luke found love with Olivia and went on to compete on The Block in 2021 in a team with Josh.

Luke and Olivia announced they were expecting late last year a few weeks before The Block auction aired. On auction day, Josh and Luke walked away with $530,000 profit after their Bronte Court house sold for $3.93 million.

The twins plan to put some of the prize money towards Luke's synthetic grass installation business, which Josh has joined.
