The TV personality— who also starred in I'm A Celeb... Get Me Out Of Here!— announced on Instagram that he and his girlfriend Anita Barone are expecting their first child together! 

"LIFE! I can't believe this is happening but it's the best news to hear and I am very excited to share with you all that I'm going to be a daddy," he wrote alongside an image of the ultrasound and a selfie of the couple.

"Here's to celebrating my last year of my twenties and becoming a daddy in 2020."

The announcement comes months after they began dating.

Instagram

After sparking romance rumours with Anita in May, Justin— who's steered clear of the spotlight after exiting the jungle— confirmed he was off the market one month later, sharing a photo of the couple kissing with the caption: "I can't stop falling in love with you."  

Moments later, he uploaded another snap with his girlfriend, writing: "Love, I hope you find it and feel it and hold onto it forever and ever."
