Life for John Ibrahim and expectant fiancee Sarah Budge continues its 180-degree rotation, with the mum-to-be sighted this week immersing herself in full domesticity – in this case a dash to her local coin-op laundry.

It’s a far cry from the previous life of parties and nightclubs for the former model and cocktail bar manager, however one friend close to the pair says the stunning 31-year-old has been more than happy to surrender the trappings of her former life.

Budge, who first sparked pregnancy rumours back in March when she abstained from alcohol on a Sydney Harbour cruise, is said to be ecstatic about starting a family with Ibrahim – himself already a father of two children to two different women.

Ibrahim too is inching ever further from his old life as King Cross’s all-conquering kingpin and, according to the friend, now prefers a night on the couch over Sambucas with the boys as he awaits the arrival of his new heir.

“They are super low-key nowadays,” said an Ibrahim pal, adding the couple have been keeping busy during lockdown by baby-proofing their Dover Heights mansion and setting up
the nursery.

It’s understood Ibrahim Jr is expected to arrive in mid-September.

Budge, who has ditched stilettos for a sturdy pair of pregnancy-friendly Ugg boots, recently moved out of her Leichhardt flat to shack up with Ibrahim in what had been his bachelor pad for 30 years.

Prior to Budge, Ibrahim’s most significant relationship was with longtime girlfriend and former eastern suburbs fashion student Chelsea Mitchell, who he dated for three years before splitting in 2011.

Before that he squired model Elyse Taylor for two years.
