Arriving last weekend and 10 weeks earlier than expected, the couple revealed the news in an exclusive chat with our sister site, New Idea.

"We had planned to spend the weekend building the nursery and setting things up for the twins, but that all changed early Saturday morning," the MAFS alum said.

"Even though the boys have arrived early, they’re doing really well and are getting the best care possible.

"The staff at Frankston Hospital were amazing with Liss making her feel comfortable and we can’t thank them enough for all their efforts!

"The boys are going to spend a few weeks in NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit), they’re responding well to treatment and are squeezing our fingers which is the best feeling in the world."

The couple announced the twin's names also via New Idea on October 25.

Their firstborn, who arrived at 7:22 PM on the 16th of October, has been introduced as Levi Ruthven. The other twin, who arrived at 7:54pm, has been introduced as Tate Ruthven.

"We wanted unique names that had a modern feel to them," Bryce told New Idea. "We also wanted names that promote positivity for them and and our new family. Levi means 'harmony among others', and Tate means 'cheerful', so it suits them perfectly," he added.

The boys are currently still in the NICU at Frankston Hospital.

"Our twins are in for a challenging few weeks in NICU & are already showing signs they've got a loving personality," Bryce wrote on Instagram alongside the official name announcement.

"Liss and I are proud and loving parents of these little fighters. We can't wait to bring our boys home!"

The new parents will be getting married down the track.

The couple shared the news of their growing family with fans in July, later revealing that they were expecting twin boys in August. 

“It’s been a whirlwind, but we’re so incredibly happy,” said Melissa at the time.

The next step for the MAFS stars is a wedding, become engaged before the arrival of their twin boys. But when the time comes to tie the knot, Melissa says they'll be keeping things lowkey and are just excited to be wed 'for real.'

"We'd already been married on the show and, with our relationship getting stronger, this just felt like the logical next step," Mel told New Idea of their happy news. 

"We're not doing this for anybody else, it's about us – we're cementing our love," Bryce told the publication. "Melissa deserves to be happy and I'm apparently very good at that, so I'm looking forward to making it all official."
