Congratulations are in order for celebrity author and wellness expert Libby, who announced through her Instagram page, that she shares with sister Julia, that she’s pregnant.
Alongside an adorable snap of her and her footballer partner Mike Boxall holding ‘Bub’ balloons, sister Julia wrote:
“Thrilled, ecstatic, delighted and overjoyed to announce that Libby is pregnant with her first baby! #BabyBoxall is due Christmas time or as Lib said “just my luck it will be New Year’s Eve” 😂 she is going to be the most amazing Mumma ❤. The Julia and Libby family is growing. Such a special time for Libby and her partner Michael. I of course cannot wait to be an Aunty to their child and I think Mum already has her knitting needles out. Now what will Baby Boxall be… Boy or a girl? Jx”
Julia also revealed that she can barely contain herself when she sees other people’s pregnancy announcements, let alone her sisters.
“I well up with happy tears,” she told followers.
The sisters shared the happy news to Instagram
The Kiwi sisters have been revelling in the success of their first cookbook, released in February, entitled Julie and Libby’s Wholefood Kitchen.
But now it seems Libby will have even more on her plate, as she juggles her wellness business with being a mum.
Libby posted a comment on her personal Instagram, telling fans she has spent “weeks trying to hide” her pregnancy.
Meanwhile her footballer partner, who plays for Wellington Phoenix, stayed silent on social media, though we’re sure he’s super excited about the impending arrival.
