Erin Holland proudly debuted her blossoming baby bump on Wednesday night after revealing she is expecting her first child following an agonising fertility battle.
The Channel Seven star, 36, looked radiant as she stepped out for the opening of El Jannah's new CBD store in Sydney, just days after publicly sharing her long-awaited pregnancy news.
Dressed to perfection, Erin showed off her growing bump in a chic black structured blazer minidress that skimmed her figure and highlighted her pregnancy glow.
The former Miss World Australia completed her glamorous ensemble with pointed black stilettos and carried a glossy designer handbag, while her signature honey-blonde locks were styled in soft cascading waves around her shoulders.
Her makeup was flawless, featuring a bronzed complexion, rosy blush and a glossy nude lip, as she beamed confidently for photographers against the vibrant green media wall.
Posing with one hand gently resting on her bump, Erin appeared every inch the glowing mother-to-be after finally reaching the milestone she has fought so hard for.
Her joyous public appearance came after the television presenter emotionally revealed to Stellar magazine that she is 23 weeks pregnant with her first child with husband Ben Cutting, following a gruelling journey to motherhood.
'I'm going to cry! It's only taken me 30 seconds, and here I am crying. After 20 rounds of IVF, I'm pregnant - it feels so weird to say out loud,' Erin said.
Behind the joyful announcement lies years of heartbreak and unimaginable physical and emotional pain.
Erin disclosed she endured five egg collections, seven embryo transfers, four miscarriages, one ectopic pregnancy, chemotherapy to save a fallopian tube, and multiple surgeries during her relentless quest to become a mother.
'It wasn't easy to get here,' she said.
Despite reaching 23 weeks, Erin admitted she is still cautiously navigating the experience after suffering repeated loss.
'To be honest, it still kind of feels like I haven't gotten into the club yet. I'm at the front of the line but I haven't entered through. I know nothing is promised in fertility,' she shared.
Erin also opened up about the strain her fertility battle placed on her long-distance marriage to former Australian cricketer Ben, with the couple splitting their time between Sydney and Brisbane due to work commitments.
Now, the pair are planning for a new chapter together as they prepare to welcome their miracle baby.
'We've started to have conversations about where we're going to primarily live,' Erin revealed.
She added that Ben is destined to thrive as a father.
'It's broken my heart that I couldn't give him that. I know he's going to be a fantastic, really hands-on parent.'
Erin and Ben, who married in a lavish Byron Bay ceremony in 2021, have long been admired for balancing demanding careers with their unconventional living arrangement.
Born in Cairns, Erin rose to fame after winning Miss World Australia in 2013 before forging a successful career in television, sports presenting and entertainment.
