Shortly after her wedding, Ella revealed she was planning on having kids.
‘I’m not in any rush to have children, that’s about it really. I don’t really know’ she said in a video.
‘Ideally I would like to say I would like to have kids in a year and a half to two years but I don’t know how long that could take.’
Ella and Guy shocked fans when they said ‘I do’ in a surprise wedding ceremony back in April 2024.
The former MAFS star took to Instagram to confirm they had exchanged vows, just weeks after announcing their engagement.
She announced that she and Guy wed in a secret ceremony ahead of their reception at The Prahran Arcade’s Sophia venue in Melbourne.
After keeping their nuptials secret, the newlyweds then surprised their friends with their marriage news at Ella’s 30th Great Gatsby themed birthday party that evening.
In an epic twist, they revealed the news in a sweet video played at the party, showing Ella footage of as a child, before clips from their wedding played.

Their friends were left completely shocked and broke down in tears upon learning of the happy news, as the birthday bash turned into a surprise wedding reception.
Revealing the big surprise publicly, Ella and her friends shared an array of photographs from the special day to their respective Instagram pages.
Ella gave an insight into her and Guy’s romantic wedding vows as they were shown gushing over their love for one another in a tear-jerking video.
Ella declared to him: ‘I believe every experience we’ve been through in life has prepared us to be ready for each other now.
‘Guy you are my best friend and I love you so much. Thank you for choosing me and what I come with, quirks and all, I can’t wait to do the rest of my life with you.’
While Guy said: ‘You are the single most beautiful person in the world to me every single day, you’re my best friend my confidant and my life partner and I’ll always feel blessed to have you by my side and I love you.’
