Australian presenter Jessica Rowe, 38, has announced that she is currently 14 weeks pregnant with her and husband, television journalist Peter Overton‘s second child. Jessica, who underwent fertility procedures to become pregnant with the couple’s 21-month-old daughter Allegra Penelope, feels "blessed" that this pregnancy was conceived naturally because she was not looking forward to IVF treatments.

"I had to get myself mentally OK with that process and we’d made the decision to start [IVF] again, when it happened naturally. Allegra has brought so much joy to our lives and being so happy and relaxed I think really helped this time."

Peter is currently enjoying success on his 60 Minutes new program, but attributes that to happiness in his personal life. "Fatherhood has given me great balance in my life and I think you work better because of it. I’ve never been happier — in every area of my life."
