She said they have kept the happy news under wraps as so much of their lives are made public on their radio show.
'So much of our lives have been so public on our show, my infertility, our marriage breakdown over the years, our battle with mental health after that, Kel's back issues, my endometriosis story,' she said.
'But this was special and different, and something we wanted to nurture and protect. So we let our loved ones in, and of course our children. And all of them were beyond thrilled that two best mates ended up falling in love.'
