Author and TV presenter Nadia Lim has revealed she’s expecting her third child with husband Carlos Bagrie.
Lim, 37, shared the news in an Instagram post including a photo of an ultrasound and one of her holding her pregnant belly.
“Long time no see, hope you are all well and enjoying spring!” she wrote.

“Been a busy bee with a few projects on the go lately (including a telly show starting tomorrow night!), but I’ve been most busy cooking up this little one – a summer baby is on the way!”
Lim went on to say that she’s feeling “incredibly grateful, but also wondering how we’ll cope with being outnumbered (yikes!)”
The My Food Bag founder is already mum to Bodhi, 6, and River, 4, with Bagrie.
The happy news comes at a bittersweet time for Lim, who spoke out about losing a pregnancy around the same time last year.
Last October she shared on Facebook that she had miscarried a baby at 13 weeks.
The 37-year-old became a household name in New Zealand after winning MasterChef in 2011 and going on to publish several recipe books.
Her new television show with Bagrie starts tomorrow, with the couple keen to show all aspects of farming.
The pair are still filming Nadia’s Farm, which showcases a year in the life on their property, Royalburn Station, on the Crown Range between Arrowtown and Wanaka.
The show won’t shy away from portraying the realities of running a farm, Bagrie said.
“It’s a very unfiltered view of farming,” he told The Country’s Jamie Mackay.
This warts-and-all approach will also be evident in Lim’s meals, although the celebrity chef was quick to point out Nadia’s Farm was “not a cooking show”.
“There’s always something from the farm that we find or grow or raise or harvest that ends up getting cooked and eaten.
“In episode one, I end up cooking my roosters from my home flock … I had to cull a few and I didn’t want to waste them so I end up cooking them!” she laughed.
