Martha Kalifatidis has revealed plans to have a second child next year with her fiancé Michael Brunelli.

The 36-year-old Married At First Sight bride took part in a Q&A session on her Instagram Stories on Monday and was asked if she wanted to have another baby.

‘We definitely need another Brunelli baby in 2025,’ she teased.

The couple had their first child together – a son, Lucius – in February 2023 and frequently give fans an insight into their family life.

In other interview answers, Martha told her 719,000 followers that she does not put as much emphasis on her appearance as she once did.

The mother-of-one shared a photo of her figure at what she described as her peak period of fitness but said her ‘priorities’ have changed since giving birth to her son.

‘I would love to get super fit before I get pregnant again. This was me at my fittest. 20k steps a day, weight training and running,’ she explained.

‘If I had time to do all that again – well I’d probably look like that. For me after having a child my priorities shifted massively.

‘I’m not as vain as I was and I’m not getting anywhere near as much sleep as I did haha Fitness is going to be a big goal for me next year.’

Martha recently announced she wants be married to fiancé Michael in a matter of weeks.

In a sneak peak at her new podcast with Michael and her mum Mary, called The Morning Roast, Martha said she wanted to just get the marriage over with.

The makeup artist, who has been engaged to Michael for three years after they met on MAFS, caused an uproar by saying she wanted ‘a shotgun wedding’.

A shotgun wedding usually refers to a marriage ceremony where the bride is already pregnant—but can mean a rushed marriage for other reasons too.

‘I feel like I just want to have a shotgun wedding, and get married in November, this year. I just want to get it done,’ she said.

‘I would actually love to have a wedding at home. What do you think about doing a wedding in November if we quickly organise it?’ she asked.

Michael replied: ‘I am down for just the easiest thing,’ and Martha said they could just ‘host a lunch’.

Fans were confused, with one asking in the comments: ‘Doesn’t shotgun wedding mean the bride is pregnant??’

Most were overwhelmingly supportive, telling Martha she will not regret hosting something intimate over a fairytale wedding.

Martha and Michael first met on the 2019 season of the Channel Nine dating show.

They currently live in the Melbourne home of her parents Mary and Theo, but Martha recently hit back at those who accused her of sponging off her folks.

‘Why don’t you and Michael pay your own way like the rest of the world?’ a troll asked, referring to the young family’s current living situation.

Martha rejected the claim that she was sponging off her parents, saying the decision to live with Theo and Mary was not financially motivated.

‘Our living arrangement has nothing to do with money,’ she wrote.

‘The sad thing is you probably believe we live with my parents to capitalise off of the situation. That is the furthest [thing] from the truth.’

‘In reality, we mutually enjoy it.

‘Living in a multigenerational home with my parents brings us closer, fosters mutual support and creates a rich environment where wisdom and experience blend. It also brings my parents happiness.

‘I feel sorry for you that you can’t see the benefits in our situation,’ she said.
