Taking to Instagram, the Season 5 bride announced the arrival of their beautiful baby boy and revealed his adorable name.

“Overdue and overachieving already, weighing a whopping 4.7kg. You’re already so overwhelmingly loved.”

In March 2025, Carly shared her fertility challenges ahead of her recent pregnancy, which she announced in October 2024.

“As the time for baby to arrives gets closer and closer, I find myself reflecting on our journey to get here,” she wrote at the time, acknowledging that Instagram often shows a “highlight reel that isn’t always accurate”.

Carly and her fiancé Neil Goldsmith welcomed their first child, a son Bailey ‘Biscuit’ Bowyer in December 2020.

“After getting pregnant easily with Bailey, we naively thought getting pregnant again would be easy,” Carly continued.

“But as the months rolled on and on, the disappointment of it not happening and the pressure each month was pretty overwhelming.

“And then we faced a loss that hit us so hard, we almost lost hope.”

Eventually, Carly fell pregnant again, admitting that at first she was “scared to connect and believe it was real”.

“But as the weeks rolled on, I gained more confidence and realised that this was the one we were waiting for. Another boy, our little piece of hope. And now he’s nearly here. Completing our little family from 3 to 4.”

She said the journey wasn’t easy or quick, and she wanted to acknowledge that.

“We are extremely fortunate and know that not everyone is, so I want to acknowledge anyone struggling with fertility or has experienced loss xx” she concluded.

Carly announced her pregnancy in October 2024 with an Instagram Reel of the moment she, Neil and son Bailey ‘Biscuit’ Bowyer found out.

“Our little Cookie, you were worth the wait 💫” she wrote.

Australia first got to know Carly when she appeared on 2018’s Season 5 of MAFS where when she was partnered with Justin Fischer.

While Carly and Justin went their separate ways before the series ended, Carly then had a relationship with another MAFS co-star Troy Delmage, which eventually ended.

The fan-favourite debuted her relationship with Neil, an actor who’s appeared in ads for companies like Coles and Domain, on social media in August 2019.

After five years together, they announced their engagement on New Year’s Day 2024.

“So this happened.. 💍 What a way to end 2023!” Carly shared on Instagram at the time.
