The Block’s Foreman Dan Reilly and his wife Dani Wales have shared the happy news that they are expecting a baby.
The heart-warming announcement, made on Instagram on Sunday, comes almost a year after they lost their daughter, Billie, at just ten days old.
They shared a beautiful picture of themselves posing on a beach in front of a rising sun.
Dani’s growing baby bump could be seen in the image, and the happy couple paid tribute to their firstborn in the caption.
‘As sure as the sun rises and sets each day, she is with us for this next chapter, Billie’s sibling coming 2026,’ they wrote in a shared post on Instagram.
They continued: ‘To those navigating pregnancy and infant loss, IVF, and fertility challenges – we see you.’

Billie was conceived after Dani underwent IVF treatment.Â
The pair later shared that the baby experienced distress at birth after a healthy pregnancy.
‘This is just so special – sending you so much love – happy tears,’ gushed one follower.Â
While another wrote: ‘Awwh my heart skipped a beat. The most special congratulations to you both. Super special.’
A third follower added: ‘Billie is with you in everything you do.’
The Block’s Tess and Luke also sent their best wishes: ‘We are all at home screaming with joy. The best news ever. Sending you all so much love for this next chapter.’
It comes after Dan opened up about his heartbreaking family tragedy during an episode of The Block in August.
The series’ foreman kicked off the episode’s pre-start meeting with wife Dani, who broke down as they spoke for the first time on television about the loss of their child.

The couple shared the devastating loss of their daughter, Billie, last year
‘I guess most people here would know our journey last year. We had our little girl, Billie – she arrived on the eighth of the twelfth last year,’ Dan told the assembled cast and crew.
‘Due to some… complications through birth, we only got to spend ten days with our beautiful girl, Billie.’
As the mood became more sombre, Dani continued: ‘So, we’re actually very grateful for those ten days – her time was spent in the NICU department at the Women’s Hospital in Melbourne.’
He was quick to praise the NICU staff, with Dani echoing his sentiments.
‘Unfortunately, it didn’t end in the way that it should have for us, but our time there, as Dan said, was really with Billie,’ Dani said.
‘Getting to know the nurses and doctors will be probably one of the things that we remember forever.’
Dan then added that he and Dani were on a ‘mission’ to raise funds and awareness for NICUs around the country as well as Red Nose Australia.
To honour their daughter’s memory, Dan and Dani have established Billie’s Besties, a foundation that aims to raise money for the NICU at the Royal Women’s Hospital in Melbourne.
The couple tied the knot in 2018 in an intimate ceremony on Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula, after rising to fame on The Block in 2012.
Dan has since taken on a role as foreman on the show and they also host the Dan vs Dani series, critiquing each team’s Room Reveals every week.Â
