Harry and Tash Pavlou commented: ‘Oh my goodness! She is just a darling! Congratulations you too! Ilaria is lucky to have such beautiful parents.’
It comes after Steph and Gian revealed earlier this year they were expecting their first child together.
‘The start of our little family, when two become three,’ they wrote at the time, alongside a touching video featuring ultrasound scans and tender moments of Steph showing off her bump.
The loved-up couple won over Aussie viewers during their time on The Block, taking out the top prize in 2023 after weeks of high-pressure renovations and strong public support.
In the nail-biting finale, Steph and Gian were the runaway winners with their house selling for an incredible $5 million.
They walked away with $1.65 million profit plus prize money of $100,000, bringing their total earnings to a record-breaking $1.75 million.
Steph and Gian’s House 4 was first to auction, and it was a tense time for the pair, who called their $3.35 million reserve ‘hell’ and feared they would not make money.
The $5 million sale gave the pair $1.65 million profit, with Steph and Gian embracing and bursting into tears as they called the money, ‘life-changing’.

Last year in July, Stephanie and Gian revealed they were at it again and making real estate moves.
The Block winners purchased an original Federation home in Summer Hill, Sydney for $2 million.
The three-bedroom, one-bathroom property is described in its Adrian William advertisement as a ‘freestanding renovator’s delight in trendy locale’.
At the time, the childhood sweethearts said they planned on documenting their renovation process on social media.
‘We’ve got this ultimate plan that we can actually take everyone through from the conceptual phase,’ Steph revealed.
