Despite revealing to New Idea they’re expecting their first child together next year, reality TV couple Cyrell Paule and Eden Dally told WHO they’re in no rush to tie the knot!
“I think I’ll have the baby first,” the Married At First Sight star tells WHO.
“That’s too soon. We’ve got the baby,” Love Island’s Eden added with a laugh.

As for their bundle of joy’s godparents, Cyrell says despite Eden’s best efforts to have two godmothers and two godfathers, the firery reality star is convinced she’ll have the final say!
“I’ve got such a big family as it is. To pick one of my siblings… Oh my god, I’m never going to hear the end of it,” she joked. “Eden wants two godmothers and two godfathers. Philippine tradition is that you can have as many as you want. More presents!
“I keep telling that to Eden but he wants to stick to two each. Chances are, my brother Ivan will be the godfather. Everyone knows how close I am with him.”
When asked how she thinks her former MAFS co-stars will take the unexpected news of her pregnancy, Cyrell says that while most will be “shocked”, her close friend Jules Robinson will be over the moon.
“I’m very good friends with Jules. I think she will be very happy for me! I know how she is with kids and I know she already wants one herself,” said Cyrell, who made multiple enemies— Martha Kalifatidis, Ines Basic, Jessika Power— on last season of the controversial season. “I am sure when her day comes it will be the same thing. it will be nothing but love from Jules and Cam. They’re very good friends of ours. I love them to bits.”
Although they’re excited to become first-time parents, unfortunately, their pregnancy announcement has been overshadowed by claims the couple— who once admitted they were faking their relationship for publicity—are also faking the news in exchange for cash.
After sharing photos from her exclusive pregnancy shoot with New Idea, one nasty Instagram user said their “fake child” will be born to “two desperate people who can’t stay in the spotlight expect when making fools of themselves.”
Not one to hold back when it comes to making her point, the savage Married at First Sight star hit back: “I’d donate to u getting some common sense but clearly no money could buy that.”
Another sassy Instagrammer also took a swipe at Cyclone Cyrell, telling the controversial reality TV star— who endured an ill-fated on-screen marriage to Nic Jovanovic— that “it’s time to grow up now. You’re the one captioning the best news of your life as an article headline.”
After the comment racked up 123 likes, she responded to the user— whose bio says she’s “raising 2 babies”—writing: “I hope when u had ur two babies then no one called ur relationship a publicity stunt n told u to grow up like u weren’t worthy to be a mother. Being a mother of two I would’ve expected better. Guess A LOT of people need growing up,” she wrote, adding a kiss face emoji.
The day after their 12-week scan, Cyrell and Eden, who’ve been dating for a little over four months, revealed to New Idea that the pregnancy wasn’t planned.
“I’ll be honest, it was not planned. I was freaked out thinking about Eden’s reaction,” Cyrell confessed. “I’ve got nothing against it, but for me, I don’t have the strength to have an abortion. So I knew, then, I’m having a baby!”
Cyrell decided to text the news to Eden.
He shared, “I was on my phone and I got this text. She said, ‘Eden, I’m pregnant, and I’m like, “What?”'”
“I didn’t know what to feel. I was a bit in shock and took a while to process it. Then we spoke and I said, ‘Whatever you want to do, I’ll support you and be there for the child.'”
He added, “ It wasn’t expected. But it’s happening, I’m excited and I can’t wait to have this little baby.”
When asked how their families’ reacted to the news, Cyrell said her brother Ivan was taken aback.
“My brother Ivan was shocked. But out of all my boyfriends, weirdly enough, he really likes Eden! They get along. So, they just ended up shaking hands. When I did tell Ivan, he said: “You’re a grown woman and Eden is a good guy.”
“Everyone was just in shock,” Eden added. “My old man always says your first child is a really special feeling. My mum was excited too. At first it was a shock but now everyone is on board.
