Yeah I saw the pics yesterday and thought "hmmm" but didn't post because I hate it when a skinny woman has a big lunch and is immediately assumed to be pregnant () but there's something about the way she's posing side-on that makes me suspect she wants people to notice.  

DM ran another article today (link) which stated Laura wasn't drinking at the event and their behaviour "aroused suspicion".  At 32 and in a happy relationship she'd be thinking about babies I would imagine and since they're living together now it doesn't seem out of the question IMO.

OK looks like she's drinking wine here so presumably not with child.  

As you were.

LOL. Guy Fieri on a plate!!

@Bobette its very easy to have a glass of wine in front of you and not drink it, or palm it off to your partner, she's not off the hook yet

I actually thought exactly the same thing.    Her glass is almost empty in the group shot - filled it up for the closeup photo and then tipped it into Matty's maybe?  Also the timing is suspicious IMO with it being the day after the other photos were published. Then again if she IS pregnant she'll cop a lot of flak for seemingly drinking even if she wasn't actually, IYKWIM... TWT.

Nah, bloggers do it all the time, they pretend to drink when people are speculating that they’re pregnant, then when they announce they do a whole “ha ha, fooled you” thing if anyone calls them out about it. I’m a little surprised though, I had Matty pegged as being a bit traditional and wanting to be married before having kids. Don’t know why though, he did go on a dating show twice to find a partner, so probably not that traditional 

I think Matty is quite traditional but if this is the next step, so be it.

Laura sure seems smitten with her baby nephew these days, so I do think she's no longer shy around kids, jmo

It's true. Laura is pregnant! Couple expecting baby in June after a heartbreaking miscarriage in July.

It's in the Daily Telegraph. Sorry can't link as I an reading from the app. Daily Mail will definitely be reporting this pretty soon.

Ah ha!  I knew it.  Congrats to them, I think they'll make great parents (though between a new baby and a breakfast radio gig, Matty may never sleep again ).  They'll probably find the lifestyle change a bit of a shock but then what new parent doesn't.

I can't access the whole article (no account) but the preview reads:

Bachelor baby bliss for Matty J and Laura

It is the best Christmas present Matty Johnson and Laura Byrne could have hoped for. After suffering a heartbreaking miscarriage earlier this year, the Bachelor couple are excited to family they are 15 weeks pregnant with their first child.

Matty J breakfast gig is only for the summer. Just Dec and part of Jan

Awesome news! His mom must be so excited to have another grandchild, too.
