Baby number two! Sylvia Jeffreys announces pregnancy with Peter Stefanovic

Sylvia Jeffreys has announced she is pregnant with her second child.

The Today Extra host took to Instagram to share the exciting news, posting a photo of her husband Peter Stefanovic with their eight-month-old son, Oscar.

"When you find out you're getting a best bud for life. Oscar's little brother due in April next year," the Nine journalist wrote. "We are so lucky."

Jeffreys is approximately 14 weeks into her pregnancy.

The couple welcomed their first-born Oscar in February 2020.

Jeffreys took five months of maternity leave after Oscar’s birth, returning to the Today Extra desk in late July.

During the week, Jeffreys revealed Oscar had been conceived via IVF, but it is unknown if her second pregnancy is the same.

Sitting down with Nine.com.au’s Brooke Campbell on Wednesday, Jeffreys discussed the issue of unused embryos and said the topic was particularly significant to her.

"I know from my own personal experience of IVF that so much goes into having a successful embryo and having something sitting there that gives you the opportunity to make life for your family," she said, tearing up as she spoke.

"There's such an emotional attachment to those embryos, long before they become the baby or the child that you grow to love."

Congratulations to the Stefanovic clan on this exciting news.
