Olympia announced the happy news of her pregnancy in an Instagram post in August as she spoke candidly about her fertility struggles before her ‘miracle baby’ appeared.
In photos shared on his social media account at the time, Thomas cradled Olympia’s growing baby bump while she held a positive pregnancy test.
“I’ve been hiding for the last five and a half months to make sure this wasn’t all a dream,” she began her caption.
“But you kept growing and growing and it’s starting to look like our dreams have finally come true.”
‘I have been as open and honest as I could about our struggle with infertility and I truly believed that this day was not going to be possible for us.
“So when I saw this positive pregnancy test, I have to admit that I didn’t jump for joy at that moment.

‘I was full of fear because that’s all I’ve ever known. But as the weeks went by it was hard to wipe the smile off our faces.’
They highlighted their enthusiasm for starting a family and thanked their followers who supported them during their “darkest days.”
‘To the little one we never thought we would meet, we can’t wait to hold you in our arms. “You were worth every tear, every setback and every prayer,” he continued.
‘To all the people who supported us during the darkest days, thank you. I know I wouldn’t have gotten to this point without the strength of my family and friends who managed to hold me up when I was falling apart.’
In May, the former soap star told how the long IVF process had left her exhausted and she hit a low point after a tragic miscarriage.
“My body was exhausted and my mind was exhausted,” he said in an interview with The daily telegraph.
‘I have always been an outgoing and happy person and I became a hermit. I needed a complete reset.’
In July 2023, Olympia revealed that she aborted twin babies during the Covid pandemic and that same year she revealed that she had a second miscarriage at six weeks.
Olympia and Tom began dating in June 2019 after Olympia met him on the ultra-exclusive celebrity dating app, Raya, and they married in June 2022.
She said she was reluctant to “go down the IVF route” because she has “never been good with hormones.”
“Adding more hormones to my raging cycle scares the hell out of me,” she confessed, but said she wasn’t seeing a fertility specialist.
“I want babies and I will do everything in my power to get them,” Olimpia concluded.
Olympia, who rose to fame when she joined Neighbors as Paige Smith in 2014, got engaged to Tom in October 2021.
The couple finally tied the knot in a romantic ceremony in June 2022 when the couple exchanged vows in front of 250 family and friends in Daylesford, Victoria.
