Australian model and podcast host Olivia Molly Rogers has given birth to her first child, a baby boy named Albert Nigel Breakey. The 34-year-old announced the news on Instagram on Monday, sharing a sweet video of her newborn sleeping wrapped in a blanket.
Rogers, who won Miss Universe Australia in 2017, has been documenting her pregnancy journey on social media. In a TikTok post at 39 weeks pregnant, she expressed her lifelong dream of becoming a mother, saying she had been 'dreaming' of having a baby.
The birth comes after a challenging period in Rogers' life. She previously froze her eggs following the breakdown of her marriage to Justin McKeone in 2022, after just seven months of marriage. Rogers revealed on the Inherited podcast that her mother had offered to call off the wedding days before the ceremony due to a boundary-crossing incident, but Rogers felt unable to disappoint her friends and family.
Rogers later met her current partner, Hugo Breakey, by chance in 2023. The couple's baby announcement coincides with news that McKeone faces bankruptcy proceedings over an alleged debt of more than $550,000, following a Federal Court case and criminal charges related to obtaining financial advantage.
Celebrity friends including MAFS star Martha Kalifatidis, Tayla Broad, DJ Tigerlily, Olympia Valance, and Kellie Finlayson congratulated the couple on social media.
