Luke Jacobz's Baby and Parenting Journey

Luke Jacobz and his wife Raychel Stuart and their newborn baby

Charming Aussie Luke Jacobz is officially a Dad, the Home & Away star announcing that he and his wife Raychel Stuart welcomed a baby girl named Maisie.

Luke, known for his on-screen charisma, showcased his off-screen charm as he proudly shared the first glimpse of the adorable Maisie on his Instagram, already describing her as a “Daddy’s Girl” in the hashtag.

“Words cannot describe how happy we are to bring our bundle of joy into the world.

Maisie – you are so loved and we could not ask for anything more perfect than you.

Mamma is doing so well. We had a very “eventful” delivery day but it was all worth it.

14-11-2023.”

Raychel also shared some snaps on her Instagram accompanied by a beautiful quote about being a Mumma.

“We plead, we pray, we wish.
Dreaming, waiting, believing.

We puke, we swell, we stretch.
Marked, herniated, nauseous.

We contract, we dilate, we bleed.
Prolapsed, torn, stitched.

We shake, we take, we lay down.
Incised, stapled, deflated.

We hope, we poke, we cry.
Fostered, adopted, fertilised.

We feed, we crack, we pump.
Engorged, bottled, pacified.

We raise, we fail, we win.
Exhausted, remodeled, remade.

In any other place, in any other season, for any other reason – we would never.

No one would.

But for this – we do.

The name Maisie is both sweet and endearing with Scottish origins. It is often considered a diminutive or nickname for the name Margaret which has roots in Greek and means “pearl.” The name exudes a sense of charm and delicacy and carries a timeless and classic feel while also being on-trend and utterly lovable.

Fellow Aussie actors and TV personalities flooded the comments to wish the couple congratulations including fellow X-Factor alumni Nathaniel Willemse who wrote: “Beautiful! Congrats brother ❤️ # girldadsrock”. Sunrise presenter Sam Mac chimed in with: “You little ripper! Huge congrats! Love the name too mate “.

Raychel kept her pregnancy pretty private but shared a few glimpses into maternity life including her safari-themed baby shower.

“Celebrating our little one with an amazing group of people. Thank you all for making it the best day! ❤️”

We are so excited for the couple and the whirlwind that they have been on this year alone. We cannot wait to find out whether their little spring baby will be a boy or a girl. Wishing them all the best for the rest of their pregnancy.
