Home and Away star Harley Bonner has shared an exciting personal update with his fans, announcing that he has become a father.
Harley and his wife, model Natalie Roser, shared a joint Instagram post on Sunday in which they revealed that they have welcomed a baby girl.
“The greatest love story of our lives began on Valentine’s Day. Welcome to the world, Aurelia Mae Rose Bonner,” they wrote.
They also shared a trio of photos featuring their newborn daughter, with the family pictured all holding hands while Aurelia is wrapped in a blanket.
Harley and Natalie received lots of congratulatory messages from their friends and followers, with former Home and Away star Sam Frost (Jasmine Delaney) commenting, “I’m so incredibly happy for you all … how exciting”.
Ex-Neighbours star Takaya Honda (David Tanaka) wrote, “Congratulations!!!”, while Bonnie Anderson, who played Neighbours’ Bea Nilsson, commented, “aww guys! Huge congratulations … so precious”.
Neighbours’ Matt Wilson, who plays Aaron Brennan, also sent his best wishes, writing, “Congrats guys. So special”.
Harley and Natalie announced their engagement in November 2021 after Harley proposed at the beach, before they got married in February 2022 during a ceremony that was “overflowing with love”.
They confirmed that they were expecting their first baby together in October last year, with the baby also being a grandchild for Harley’s mum, former Neighbours star Carla Bonner.
Harley starred in Home and Away as Dr Logan Bennett from 2021-22, before departing the soap less than a year after joining. During his brief time in Summer Bay, he enjoyed a romance with Mackenzie Booth before he suddenly left town for a new job.
He also appeared in Neighbours for three years as Josh Willis, a competitive swimmer who had relationships with Amber Turner and Naomi Canning. He was eventually killed in an accident at Lassiters Hotel.
Home and Away airs weekdays at 1.45pm on Channel 5, with repeat screenings at 6pm on 5STAR and first-look screenings at 6.30pm on 5STAR. Selected classic episodes are available via Prime Video in the UK.
