The couple shared the news with a series of loved-up photos of them together on the beach at golden hour, showing off Leeson’s bump.

“Starting the new year with the most exciting news to date,” Leeson, who was a contestant on the 2021 season of The Bachelor, wrote.

“Cannot believe how much we love you already.

“So grateful you chose us.”

McKeone had nothing but praise for Leeson, commenting “you’re going to be an amazing mum! I cannot wait.”

McKeone made headlines late last year after being accused of misappropriating $481,490.33 in a lawsuit from his former employer, Rocket Brands.

The pharmaceutical sales company successfully applied for a freezing order on his assets which was granted last October.

This was extended to April following a directions hearing last month in which McKeone was a no show.

In the civil law case, Rocket Brands is seeking full restitution, accusing McKeone of breaching his duties as a senior manager.

McKeone and Rogers began dating in 2018 before getting engaged the following year.

Their wedding was postponed due to the pandemic with the pair tying the knot with a lavish wedding in February 2022 before splitting eight months later.

The Adelaide-born beauty later revealed that she had made the decision to freeze her eggs for “security” after struggling to fall pregnant with an ex-partner.

“It’s just reassurance down the track to know that my chance of getting pregnant when I want to get pregnant will be higher,” she said in a video posted to TikTok.

“I have previously gone through some fertility treatment. I was trying to get pregnant with an ex-partner, obviously that didn’t work out, which I think is a blessing.”
