Last week, Dana and Lachlan surprised fans when they announced they had welcomed twins, having kept the pregnancy under wraps. 

In an Instagram post, Lachlan, 34, shared a photo of his newborn daughters resting with their mother Dana, 34, as he looked on lovingly. 

He wrote in the caption: ‘Oh Lulu and Lottie, your mummy and daddy love you with all we have – you are both so beautiful – and I would love to sing to you both forever’. 

Neither Lachlan nor Dana gave any hint that they were expecting, and their social media accounts do not show many recent photos.

The couple announced their engagement in April in a sweet Instagram post, with Lachy writing: ‘On Thursday night, Dana asked me to marry her at home under a fairy light sky and a very excited little boy in a beautiful bow tie.’ 

In the photo, Lachlan was pictured cuddling up to Dana and Dana’s son Jasper, four, inside a bedroom festooned with fairy lights.
