Australian DJ Jimmy Lyell, one half of the electronic duo Flight Facilities, and his new girlfriend Zoe Kochner have announced they are expecting their first child together. The 26-year-old German-born model shared the news on Instagram on Wednesday, posting a series of photos showcasing her growing baby bump.
Pregnancy Announcement
The images featured Zoe in a white two-piece outfit, with Jimmy kissing her exposed stomach while seated at an outdoor table. Another close-up revealed an ultrasound picture alongside a handwritten note from Jimmy that read, 'I think it's fair to say we both found you intriguing!' Other photos captured Zoe glowing in activewear, cradling her bump, and Jimmy pressing his face to her belly as she wore a black sports bra and jeans.
Zoe captioned the announcement with '6 months of growing life,' indicating the baby is due in August. The couple has not disclosed when they first met, but Daily Mail suggests it may have been in February 2025. Jimmy did not appear on Zoe's Instagram until November, when she shared photos from her 26th birthday party.
Family Background
Jimmy already shares two children—Milo, 10, and James, eight—with his ex-partner Chelsea Waddell. The DJ and Chelsea split just over a year ago. Chelsea announced their separation in January 2025 with an emotional statement, describing it as a 'painful' decision. She wrote, 'After a lot of reflection, I need to share that my relationship with Jimmy has come to an end. This wasn't a decision made lightly.' She emphasized that her focus is on healing and creating a positive future for herself and her two boys, requesting privacy during this difficult time. Jimmy deleted his Instagram account shortly after the split. The former couple, who lived in Byron Bay, began dating in 2017 and are believed to have first met in 2009.
