Aussie radio star announces surprise live on-air during morning show

There’s nothing quite like a live radio moment that hits you right in the feels—and this week, something special on KIIS FM did just that, sparking plenty of smiles along the way.

It started off like any other segment but quickly took a turn no one saw coming.

By the end, both the hosts and the audience were caught up in the emotion of it all.


Woody, one half of the much-loved Will & Woody duo, has always been known for his cheeky humour and quick wit.

But on Tuesday morning, he swapped the jokes for a touching family announcement that’s sure to warm your heart.

The big reveal happened in classic Will & Woody style, with a bit of mischief and a lot of love.

The segment began with co-host Will dressed up as Elsa from Frozen (yes, you read that right!), thinking he was helping convince Woody’s daughter Remi to take off her own Elsa dress. But Woody had something else up his sleeve.

With his wife Mimi Gibbs and their adorable two-and-a-half-year-old daughter Remi in the studio, Woody turned to his little girl and asked, 'Hey Remi, what is in Mummy’s tummy?'

Without missing a beat, Remi replied, 'A baby.'


Cue the cheers, laughter, and a few happy tears from everyone in the studio—and probably a few listeners at home, too!

Woody and Mimi’s family is about to get a little bigger, and the excitement is palpable.

The couple tied the knot just last November in a beautiful ceremony at the Euroa Butter Factory in regional Victoria and are already proud parents to Remi.

Now, they’re eagerly awaiting the arrival of baby number two.

The soon-to-be big sister, Remi, has clarified her preference—she’s hoping for a little sister!

But as Mimi joked on-air, 'It’s going to be quite awkward if it’s a boy.'


The couple have decided to keep the baby’s gender a surprise until the big day, adding an extra layer of anticipation to their growing family adventure.

Woody and Mimi’s journey together has been full of sweet moments.

Woody’s proposal was a low-key, heartfelt affair in their own backyard, catching Mimi completely off guard as she relaxed on a sunbed.

Her response? An enthusiastic 'Yes!'—and a promise to be 'stuck with me forever,' as Mimi later shared on Instagram.

Their wedding was a stylish and joyful celebration, with Mimi stunning in a custom Oglia Loro Couture gown and Woody looking dapper in a classic black tuxedo.

Remi, of course, stole the show as she walked down the aisle to greet her dad with a big hug.


For many of us, it’s heartening to see public figures like Woody share their milestones so openly.

It’s a reminder that behind the microphones and the headlines, they’re just like the rest of us—navigating the ups and downs of family life, cherishing the little moments, and looking forward to new beginnings.

Woody’s announcement also highlights the joy (and sometimes chaos!) of raising young children, especially when you’re juggling a busy career.

It’s a sentiment many of our Seniors Discount Club members can relate to, whether you’re reminiscing about your own parenting days or watching your children and grandchildren start families of their own.

There’s something special about sharing big news with loved ones—and, in Woody’s case, with the whole country listening in!

Whether it’s a new baby, a wedding, or another milestone, these moments bring us together and remind us of what really matters.
