Aussie singer Jai Waetford fuels baby speculation with post on social media

Rumours are swirling that singer once dubbed “Aussie Bieber”, former X-Factor star Jai Waetford, has quietly welcomed his first child.

Rumours are swirling that Aussie singer Jai Waetford has officially become a dad.

It comes after the former X Factor Australia star shared a video showing his partner, Bec Donaghy, cradling a newborn to his Instagram story on Friday.

While there has been no formal announcement or confirmation, the post has Confidential convinced baby Waetford has arrived.

The sweet moment comes five months after the couple first revealed they were expecting, sharing three glowing photos in January, with Donaghy proudly showing off her baby bump. “Baby Waetford coming 2025,” the 25-year-old wrote at the time.

The pair have remained largely private since then, with no bump updates shared since February.

Waetford first captured Australian hearts in 2013 when he skyrocketed to fame as a 14-year-old finalist on The X Factor Australia, earning the nickname “Aussie Bieber.”
