She was seen posing next to an ornately decorated table, topped with a bouquet of pink peonies and a pink candle at its centre.
One photo showed the happy couple posing together and beaming broadly, with Jake looking every inch the proud dad.
Lou and Jake welcomed their first child, Otis, back in 2023.
‘Otis Donald O’Neil,’ she captioned an adorable clip of their newborn son, revealing he was born on November 17.
The couple also hosted a lavish gender reveal party in May of that year.
At the time, Lou shared footage of the moment she and Jake learned the sex of their newborn, surrounded by family.
She pulled open pocket doors to find a tower of blue bows signifying that the couple had a baby boy on the way.
The gender reveal was styled by creative studio The Make Haus, with guests given blue and pink bows so they could guess the baby’s gender prior to the reveal.

The couple’s first pregnancy announcement came a year after they tied the knot at the heritage-listed Carthona mansion in Sydney’s Darling Point.
The nuptials were a coming together of two of the country’s wealthiest families.
Jake, who works for the family business Addenbrooke, is the second-eldest son of millionaire superyacht broker and Rose Bay marina owner, Denis O’Neil and Charlotte O’Neil.
Lou is the daughter of the late Donald Hay, brush pioneer and founder of Hayco.
Jake and Lou originally dated in high school before reuniting in 2020.
Lou, a beauty and fashion content creator, isn’t the only wealthy outsider to marry into the O’Neil family.
Deborah Symond O’Neil tied the knot with eldest son Ned in 2018 in a lavish ceremony in the Whitsundays.
