Danika Mason reveals she's having a baby with her footy star fiancé
Channel Nine star Danika Mason has revealed she's expecting a baby with her ex-NRL star fiancé Liam Knight.
The Logie-nominated sport reporter broke the news on Today on Wednesday morning, delighting her colleagues Sarah Abo, Tom Steinfort, Richard Wilkins and Jayne Azzopardi.
The Today crew celebrated by bringing the NRL expert a cake amid the celebrations.
'We feel so honoured to be brought into your households every single morning, so when there’s news here, it’s nice to share it with you guys first before the rest of the world gets to hear about it,' Mason told viewers.
'So Liam and I are expecting a little girl, due December, so off-season will be a little bit busier this year.'
Mason also revealed she has got over the morning sickness stage of her pregnancy.

'Everyone here at Nine has been so supportive when I've been vomiting on the way to work and everything,' she said.
'It's so funny, the moment I knew I was pregnant, I had a chicken schnitzel craving. I just, honestly, all I could think about was chicken schnitzel.'
The Nine star also announced the news on Instagram, posting a series of photos of her dog wearing a bib reading 'promoted to big brother' as he sat in front of ultrasound images of her baby, as well as a shot of her positive pregnancy test.
Her amazing news was greeted with a wave of heartfelt messages from sport and TV stars including ex-Souths player Jai Arrow, Renee Bargh, her Nine NRL colleague Allana Ferguson and Sylvia Jeffries.
Mason and Knight went public with their romance in July 2024, just months after the Channel Nine sports presenter ditched her ex-fiancé Todd Liubinskas.
The loved-up pair finally confirmed their relationship via social media after months of speculation, with the footballer embracing Danika in a photo shared to his Instagram page.
'My life's good,' Liam wrote in the caption, alongside the couple sharing a cuddle.
Danika dumped her ex Todd Liubinskas in September 2023, just three weeks before their planned wedding.

The Daily Mail previously revealed Liubinskas - a personal trainer - later asked Danika to give back her diamond engagement ring because it was a family heirloom.
Danika also kept the $1.5million Maroubra home she shared with her ex-fiancé.
She later confirmed the couple split due to a 'breakdown in trust.'
After Liam agreed terms with the English team Hull FC in March, the couple began a long-distance relationship - and they have since enjoyed getaways together overseas at every opportunity.
Knight popped the question in October last year as the couple enjoyed a romantic trip to Europe.
He went down on one knee on a beach in Sardinia, Italy, and Mason broke the news on social media by writing, 'Some exciting news.'
When the 34-year-old showed fans the dazzling ring on Today soon after the engagement, it was placed on her middle finger, with the media personality explaining that it was a little bit big and she was 'too worried about losing it'.
'It feels like I'm flipping the bird every time I show [somebody],' she joked, which prompted co-hosts Karl Stefanovic and Sarah Abo to erupt in laughter.
'Turns out she's got skinnier fingers than they look,' Liam, 30, quipped.
Danika then revealed the shock measures Liam took to hide the ring and keep the engagement a secret.
'He was trying to hide the ring from me, and we needed to go to the beach, and we hired a little dinghy for the day,' she said.
'Anyway, so he had to drop me off and, to keep the secret, he had to go swim 150 metres.'
She added: 'So his heart rate was already through the roof and then he had to do the proposal on top of that.'

Vance argues there is a ‘big silver lining’ in Supreme Court’s ‘preposterous ruling’ in birthright citizenship case

Add The New York Post on GoogleVice President JD Vance argued Tuesday that there is a “big silver lining” in the divided Supreme Court ruling striking down President Trump’s executive order outlawing birthright citizenship for children of illegal immigrants and tourists.
“I know a lot of conservatives, Laura, certainly the people that I’m talking to, that you’re talking to, are extremely disappointed in this, but I do actually think there’s a really big silver lining here, and that’s the simple fact that a lot of legal experts expected this case to go the wrong direction by seven to two, or even eight to one,” Vance said in an interview with Fox News host Laura Ingraham.
“The fact that this case was a 5-to-4 decision effectively means that the concept of birthright citizenship, which is an absurdity to the 14th Amendment, that concept is hanging by a thread,” the vice president argued during his appearance on “The Ingraham Angle.”
Chief Justice John Roberts and fellow conservative Amy Coney Barrett were joined in the majority by liberal Justices Ketanji Brown Jackson, Elena Kagan, and Sonia Sotomayor. The majority ruled that Trump’s order violated the 14th Amendment’s birthright citizenship guarantee.

A sixth justice, Brett Kavanaugh, found that the order did not violate the 14th Amendment, but did violate federal law from the 1940s and 1950s.
“What I take from [the ruling] is, yes, we’ve got to fix the immigration system even more, we have to be even more aware of who’s coming into our country to make sure that they’re not benefiting from this atrocious Supreme Court ruling,” Vance said, adding, “but it also means that we have to keep fighting … because we actually have an opportunity to reverse this decision.”
The vice president further argued that the high court’s “major, major mistake” might invite pregnant foreign nationals “to come here quite literally on a vacation, give birth, and then all of a sudden the child and their family have the full benefits of American citizenship.”
“It’s just a preposterous ruling, and the absurdity of that outcome suggests why the Supreme Court should have went the other way.”
