The couple announced they were expecting their first child together back in April and Alisha has been keeping fans up to date ever since.

She previously revealed some of her unusual food cravings during her first trimester, which included plate of sliced lemons, waffles and cake with capers.

‘I’ve definitely skewed sour and salty over sweet so far, which to be fair is pretty standard for me not pregnant as well,’ the former Labor staffer-turned-reality-star shared in April.

‘That first one – literally just sliced lemon with salt (so sorry to my dentist Dr Luke) – is on my rotation usually but I swear I could eat one a day at the moment and I’m restraining myself.

‘Pic two is my gorgeous selection at buffet brekky down south a couple of weeks ago, waffles with capers. Heaven to me right now.’

She described drinking full cups of milk as her ‘wildest’ craving yet, admitting that she has been secretly indulging in the drink at work. 

‘I’ve had to start sneaking around, pouring milk into mugs at work trying to disguise it as a 3.00pm coffee so my colleagues still want to work with me,’ she mused.

Alisha elaborated on the intensity of her cravings in a separate Instagram post, writing: ‘On top of these I was definitely not prepared for how fixated I’d become on particular foods.’ 

‘If a craving hits I cannot move on with my day until I’ve fulfilled the need. Case in point – Birria tacos. I saw a video of them and could not do anything else until they were in my mouth,’ she lamented. 

Alisa and Glenn announced they were expecting their first child together in April by sharing a sweet snap of them holding their ultrasound scan. 

‘Been keeping a lil secret. Baby Smith arriving September,’ the caption read, before later revealing that she was due on September 27.

She also gave a candid insight into her and Glenn’s fertility journey as she opened up about the difficult process.

‘We were trying for five months and we’re grateful it has happened. The months ticking past are hard,’ she began.

She opened up about some of the challenges she and Glenn had faced as they tried to conceive. 

‘I was deep into Reddit threads and using multiple apps to track my cycle. I’ve learnt so much, I just thought Glenn could sneeze and I’d be pregnant, but definitely not the case,’ she shared.

After being portrayed as a ‘villain’ on The Bachelor, Alisha redeemed herself with glowing appearances on spin-off show Bachelor in Paradise in 2019 and 2020.
