Real Housewives of Melbourne star Jackie Gillies and Silverchair’s Ben Gilllies are expecting not one, but two little bundles of joy. Amazing!
The pair have had a long and “bumpy” IVF journey, so it’s great to see that they’ve finally managed to put a bun in the oven. Gillies posted the good news on Instagram with the caption “I’m having TWINS! It has been a bumpy IVF journey but all worth it. Thank YOU for your support XOXO.”

It took the couple seven rounds of IVF before it finally worked, in fact Gillies admitted to the Herald Sun that she was losing faith.
“I’ve gone through over seven rounds of IVF, egg retrieval and transfers, ” Gillies said.
“A lot of ups and downs and it’s been emotionally challenging but to get to where we’ve got to has been so rewarding. You’ve got to keep pushing forward and having faith.
“There were times where my faith was completely and utterly tested, I won’t deny that. There were times I cried, saying ‘why is this happening?’, ‘am I meant to be a mother?’, ‘is this ever going to happen?’.”

For those who don’t know, Jackie Gillies is a practicing psychic and said she received a premonition that she would be having twins.
“I actually dreamt my passed away grandmother came to me and said ‘you’re going to have twins’,” she said.
Many celebs have congratulated the Jackie and Ben Gillies on their little bubs, like Jess Rowe, Angie Kent, Brendan Fevola and Megan Gale.
“Oh this is the most WONDERFUL news ever. So much love to you warrior woman,” Jess Rowe wrote.
“OH MY GOD (ANGELS) I’m so happy for you!!!!! Blessings to you and your beautiful fammmmm,” Angie Kent wrote.
Such exciting news, can’t wait for these little psychic/drummer babies to be born.
