Jadé Brycki (nee Tuncdoruk) has shared some exciting news with her fans, announcing that she’s expecting her second child.
On Tuesday evening, the lifestyle influencer revealed the news to her 547k Instagram followers, saying that she and her husband Lachie Brycki are set to become parents for the second time.
“Lach, Fletch and I are overjoyed to share that our little family will be growing this December,” the businesswoman, who founded the fashion label Tunchy, captioned the post.
The baby news comes less than a year after Jadé and Lachie welcomed their first child, Fletcher Ted, who was born on June 13 last year and is now 11 months old.
The adorable photos showed the social media creator, 30, and her personal trainer husband, 32, on the beach with Fletcher, while the mum embraced her growing bump.
In one photo, the toddler placed his hands on his mum’s belly as his parents watched on and smiled.
Just last week, Jadé attended Australian Fashion Week in Sydney, where she concealed her growing belly beneath various layered outfits, leaving many shocked by this week’s announcement.
“DARLING!!!! Crying. So happy for you. Ugh x,” fellow influencer Em Davies wrote on the announcement post.
“Oh honey, congratulations,” TV presenter Abbey Gelmi added.
“So happy for you guys,” Steph Claire Smith said.
“Balling my eyes out AGAIN,” replied Sammy Robinson.
Tammy Hembrow commented, “how special,” and Martha Kalifaditis wrote, “OMG congrats you guys”.
In April, Jadé shared a series of photos from the same shoot she used to announce her pregnancy on Tuesday – but her bump was cleverly hidden then too.
The couple are currently soaking up their love bubble on a mini-getaway to far north Queensland.
“This pregnant woman (hehe) is ready to relax (as much as you can with an 11-month-old),” the star wrote in an Instagram story of her family after taking a helicopter ride to Orpheus Island, in the Palm Islands.
In a TikTok video, Brycki cradled her bump while wearing an all-white matching set on a deserted beach.
“Another baby Brycki is on the way,” she announced to her fans on the platform.
However, the comments there were less supportive.
“Two under two is rough,” said one. “Good luck”.
Others described the two-under-two period as “chaos” and “exhausting”.
Jadé has been extremely honest with her followers about adapting to her new life as a mother.
She recently shared the more challenging aspects of parenting after the arrival of her first child, saying it was the most difficult experience of her life.
On her Mad About You podcast, which she co-hosts with Lachie, she admitted that she wished someone had warned her about the struggles she would face in those initial weeks.
“I’m sure not everyone feels the way that I do about how hard it’s been in the beginning,” she said on the show.
“I think most people kind of struggle in the beginning, especially when it’s their first, and it’s so foreign and it’s so intense and you just can’t imagine it.
“But now I’m here, and I feel like nobody told me how hard it was going to be, everyone kind of said, yeah, it’s an adjustment and it’s difficult, but now I’m finding myself saying those things too!”
When Lachie asked her whether this would have scared her leading up to the pregnancy, she insisted it wouldn’t have – and she would have liked the chance to be more prepared.
“I didn’t know what I was in for. I didn’t realise that after I gave birth and didn’t sleep for three nights in a row, that I’d then go home and not sleep for another two nights, and I’d actually be running on five days of complete sleep deprivation,” she said.
Thankfully, some commenters reassured her that while the next chapter will be challenging, having “two under two” can also be the most “beautiful” and “rewarding” experience of someone’s life.
