"The greatest gift of all": Sophie Delezio's joyous news
In a heartwarming announcement that has spread joy far and wide, Aussie hero Sophie Delezio has revealed that she and her husband Joseph Salerno are expecting their first child together.
The news was shared by Sophie herself on her Instagram page, accompanied by sweet images capturing the excitement and love radiating from the soon-to-be parents.
"The greatest gift of all coming in September," Sophie shared, her words brimming with anticipation, alongside a tender photo of the couple embracing on the beach, hands gently cradling her growing belly. The announcement, marked with a baby face and heart emoji, was met with an outpouring of love and congratulations from well-wishers near and far.
Among those offering their warm wishes were notable figures like Angie Simpson, mother of singer Cody Simpson, and former Hi-5 star turned Getaway reporter Charli Robinson. Their messages echoed the sentiments of many, celebrating this new chapter in Sophie's extraordinary life.
Sophie Delezio's journey has been one of resilience, courage, and unwavering spirit. Her story first captured the hearts of Australians when, as a toddler, she survived a horrific car crash that left her with severe burns covering 85 percent of her body. The incident, which occurred in 2003 when a car crashed into a Sydney childcare centre, trapped young Sophie under the burning vehicle, forever altering the course of her life.
Tragically, Sophie's resilience would be tested once again in 2006 when she was struck by another car near her home, resulting in a brain injury and a heart attack. Despite the immense challenges she faced, Sophie's fighting spirit prevailed, inspiring countless individuals with her remarkable journey of survival and perseverance.
In 2023, Sophie Delezio embarked on a new chapter of her life as she became engaged to her childhood friend Joseph Salerno. Now, with the announcement of their pregnancy, Sophie and Joseph are set to embrace parenthood with the same courage and love that have defined their lives thus far.
We join in sending our heartfelt congratulations to the expectant parents and eagerly await the arrival of their precious little one, knowing that their journey of love, courage and resilience is far from over.
