Rachael Lee Reveals Baby Bump as She Announces First Child With Bra Boy Fiancé Evan Faulks

Rachael Lee is expanding her family with Evan Faulks, the Bra Boy fiancé she announced is the father of their first child earlier this month. The former partner of NRL star Braith Anasta appeared this week in Sydney, visibly pregnant, as she enjoyed a sunlit day in Coogee wearing a white tank top, a blue and white gingham maxi skirt and simple black footwear. Her bronde hair was styled in a half-up, half-down look, with a statement of jewelry completing the outfit. The moment underscores a broader moment for Lee, who has been sharing updates of her pregnancy with her social media followers as she prepares for life with Faulks and their growing family.

Lee first revealed the pregnancy to her roughly 11,000 followers earlier this month, posting an array of sun-kissed beachside photos that showcased her baby bump in a bikini. In one shot, she reclined on the sand in a strapless black swimsuit, flashed a peace sign and was photographed with Faulks grinning behind her in black boardshorts. The caption read, in part, “Summer baby on its way,” followed by a sunflower emoji, signaling the couple’s excitement as they prepare for their first child together.

The couple’s engagement was also highlighted in recent weeks. In a clip shared to Instagram, Faulks was seen proposing during a romantic Uluru vacation, getting down on one knee as the sun set over the Outback. Lee, visibly moved, embraced him as tears streamed down her face and the two shared a kiss. She later posted a caption that seemed to seal the moment with a nod to a shared future, writing, “FuturesMrsFaulks yippiiieee xx.”

Lee’s update comes amid broader context about her relationship history. She and Braith Anasta, who became engaged in 2019 after a long-running romance, ended their engagement in 2022 amid rumors of a split. The former couple share a daughter, Gigi, while Anasta is also father to 11-year-old Aleeia with ex-wife Jodi Gordon. Lee is also mother to son Addison, 14, from a previous relationship.

The development also intersects with public interest in Anasta’s own life. Siren-like attention has followed his career and personal life, including his own high-profile engagement in the past. The latest chapter in Lee’s life—pregnancy and a forthcoming marriage to Faulks—has drawn supportive messages from friends and fellow celebrities on social media. Zoe Marshall and Domenica Calarco, among others, offered congratulations, underscoring the warm reception Lee has received as she moves into this new phase.

In May, Lee spoke to the Daily Telegraph about her relationship with Faulks, describing it as “beautiful and deep.” She described him as honest, loyal and kind, and credited him with bringing stability and joy to her life and to her children, including [Addi] and Gigi. While she has navigated public scrutiny about her past relationships, the current focus appears to be on the couple’s imminent arrival and the life they are building together.

Lee’s new engagement ring has also drawn attention. Reports note that her ring is more demure than the massive bling Braith Anasta used to propose with in 2019—a 4.28-carat diamond set in an 18-carat rose gold band designed by Shannakian Fine Jewellery. The contrast between the two rings has been pointed out by observers, highlighting how Lee’s personal milestones are being perceived in the context of her earlier public romance with Anasta. Lee and Anasta ended their engagement amid ongoing speculation about their relationship, but they have continued to co-parent their daughter Gigi since the split.

As Lee awaits the arrival of her next child, her social media presence continues to serve as a platform for sharing milestones—from pregnancy updates to engagement news and family life. The couple’s public appearances and posts provide a window into a modern blended-family narrative, one that intersects sports culture, entertainment media and celebrity life in Australia. The pregnancy, engagement and the ongoing dialogue about Lee’s family illustrate how public figures navigate personal milestones under continual scrutiny while maintaining a sense of privacy for their children.

The story remains a focal point for fans and followers who have tracked Lee’s journey since her relationship with Anasta first became widely known. With the baby on the way and a forthcoming wedding, the next chapter for Lee and Faulks is poised to unfold in the public eye, as they balance celebration with the everyday realities of family life.
