Travel Guides stars Jonathan and Danielle Fren are expecting their first child.
The reality stars took to Instagram this week to announce that they were expecting a bundle of joy in April next year.
They shared a photo that showed a sonogram featuring their precious cargo, surrounded by a cute scene featuring teddy bears, a onesie showing the words ‘Baby Fren’, and alphabet blocks spelling out the word ‘baby’.
‘Our greatest adventure awaits – April 2026,’ a plaque in the middle of the scene read.
Captioning the image, Jonathan said he was confident that starting a family would be his most exciting adventure.
‘I’ve had some incredible adventures around the globe, but nothing will top this next one,’ he wrote.

‘@dani.fren21 and I are excited to announce Baby Fren is due April 2026.’
The post was met with an outpouring of congratulations from friends, fans, and followers.
2021 Block stars Kristy Lee Akers and husband Jesse Anderson offered a heartfelt: ‘Big congrats, guys. How exciting.’
Travel Guides alums Kevin Moloney and Janetta Stones also jumped in with: ‘Wonderful news, guys.’
Summing up the sentiment of many, 2023 Block runners-up Eliza and Liberty Paschke offered an excited: ‘This is the best’.
The happy news comes after the couple recently opened up about their ‘unconventional’ relationship.
The pair, who have been married for five years, are apart for six months of the year, with Jono away with filming commitments for the rest of the time.
‘I’m very grateful that Danielle does let me do Travel Guides every year, because I know it’s a big commitment and I am away for a long time,’ Jono told Woman’s Day in July.

Danielle added: ‘Maybe that’s why our marriage works so well: because we only have to put up with each other for half the year!’
Their unusual arrangement won’t be ending any time soon if Jono gets his way.
‘I just want to keep doing it as long as Channel Nine want me,’ he said.
‘It’s a great show to be a part of and the crew and the other cast members are great. It’s definitely a dream gig. I’m very, very lucky’.
Originally from Newcastle, the Fren family won fame for their outspoken opinions on Nine’s Travel Guides, which debuted in 2017.
Centred on ‘ordinary Aussies’ who take on the role of ‘travel critics’, the show reviews famous and far-flung tourist destinations.
The Frens – primary school teachers Mark and Cathy and hospitality workers Jono and Vic – are known for their distaste of harsh conditions.
Romance blossomed for Jonathan and Danielle in 2019 after they met on Tinder and they eventually walked down the aisle in 2021.
While Danielle isn’t a regular cast member on Travel Guides, she recently joined her family for a trip to Japan, filling in for sister-in-law Victoria.
