The countdown to fatherhood is becoming all the more real for Clint Stanaway, as the Nova FM radio host has finally shared the month he and Eliza Paschke will welcome their baby.
After keeping the timing of their little one’s arrival private for months, Clint revealed the long-awaited detail in a heartfelt social media update — giving fans another glimpse into a journey that has already brought some deeply emotional moments.
But this is no ordinary story of two people preparing to become parents. The former Channel Nine presenter and The Block star are close friends who have chosen to raise a child together through co-parenting, creating a family on their own terms.
And as the big moment draws closer, both have made it clear that their little one will be surrounded by love.
The November Announcement Fans Had Been Waiting For
Clint shared the update on Instagram alongside a photo of himself and Eliza enjoying time together at a café.
At the time, Eliza was 27 weeks into her pregnancy, with their baby expected to arrive in November.
“27 weeks in… and yep, the [cinnamon] scroll cravings are real for the three of us,” Clint wrote.
He also thanked the many people who had sent messages of support throughout their pregnancy journey.
“We’ve had so many incredible messages from people over the past few months,” he shared.
“Thank you for all the kind words, support and advice so far. We can’t wait to meet our little person.”
The announcement prompted an outpouring of congratulations, with fans celebrating another milestone as the pair moved closer to becoming parents.
For Clint, the arrival will mark an especially significant moment: he is preparing to become a father for the first time at 43.
A Family Story That Began With an Unexpected Announcement
Clint first shared the baby news on his Nova FM breakfast radio show earlier this year, revealing that he would be having a child with his close friend Eliza.
The announcement surprised many listeners because the pair were not in a romantic relationship. Instead, they had decided to pursue a co-parenting arrangement and share the responsibility of raising their child.
“We’re going to be using a co-parenting method to have this child,” Clint explained.
He acknowledged that their family might look different from what some people expect, but insisted that love would never be in short supply.
“We’re going to have a different-looking family, but a family that is not going to have any shortage of love in it.”
The announcement offered a glimpse into a deliberate decision by two friends who wanted to become parents and were prepared to build a family outside the traditional relationship model.
Since then, the pair have gradually shared more of their journey, allowing followers to witness the excitement and anticipation building around their baby’s arrival.
The Moment That Took Clint’s Breath Away
Although Clint has shared plenty of light-hearted moments along the way, becoming a father has already brought him some deeply emotional experiences.
One of the most memorable came during Eliza’s first ultrasound appointment.
Clint previously revealed that hearing the baby’s heartbeat left him overwhelmed. The reality of becoming a parent suddenly felt much closer as he saw and heard the little person they would soon welcome into the world.
The experience made an enormous impression on him, offering a first glimpse of the bond he was beginning to develop with his unborn child.
For someone preparing to enter fatherhood for the first time, it was a moment that turned an exciting announcement into something far more personal.
Now, with November marked as the expected arrival month, the anticipation is only growing.
Eliza’s Long-Held Dream of Becoming a Mum
For Eliza, the pregnancy represents the fulfilment of a dream she has spoken about for years.
When she announced the news in June, the former The Block star shared her gratitude at finally reaching this stage of her life.
“Becoming a Mum is something I’ve always thought about and openly discussed,” she wrote.
At 16 weeks pregnant when she made the announcement, Eliza said she felt “immensely grateful to be in this position”.
Her words reflected the personal significance of the news and the happiness she felt about the future ahead.
With Clint by her side as a co-parent, she is now preparing for one of the biggest changes of her life — welcoming her first child and beginning a new chapter as a mother.
The Countdown to a Very Different Kind of Family
As the expected arrival approaches, Clint and Eliza are preparing for the realities of parenthood while continuing to share selected moments with their supporters.
Their arrangement may differ from the familiar celebrity baby announcement, but their message has remained consistent: they are committed to raising their child together and ensuring their family is built around love and support.
For Clint, the coming months will bring the beginning of fatherhood. For Eliza, they will mark the start of a long-awaited journey into motherhood.
And while the pair have already shared some of the most memorable moments of their pregnancy, the most significant one is still ahead.
With November approaching, their little person’s arrival is no longer a distant possibility. It is the next chapter they have been waiting to begin — and one that promises to change both their lives forever.
