Married At First Sight star Domenica Calarco has reunited with her ex Jarod Bogunovich after welcoming their first child together.

The pair dated in 2024 and earlier revealed they would be “co-parents” to their baby daughter, Dove Ana Calarco, who arrived on 28 August 2025.

After giving birth, with her mum Anna and nonna by her side, Dom’s family captured the moments that followed including a visit from her ex Jarod who shared a sweet detail in his own announcement post.

Taking to his own Instagram, Jarod shared the moments he met his baby daughter, posting the photos to the same Taylor Swift song, ‘The Best Day’.

‘Dove ❤️,” he simply captioned the photo.

He then commented under Dom’s own announcement.

“My baby munchkin ❤️,” he wrote in a comment that amassed close to 100 likes.

“Congratulations Dad! 💕 So nice to see you in the comments,” one fan reacted.

“Yours for life. Congratulations 🩷,” replied another.

The new parents enjoyed plenty of cuddle time with their tot and even shared bathing duties.

Speaking about her pregnancy in March 2025, Dom confirmed she would be entering motherhood as a solo parent.

“While I will be welcoming this baby as a solo parent, I am grateful to have the support of the father in a co-parenting capacity,” she said at the time.

The MAFS Season 9 bride continued, writing that she was embracing this journey “wholeheartedly with all its highs and lows”.

“I am beyond proud to be stepping into this role with strength, love, and a deep sense of purpose,” she wrote.

It wasn’t long before Dom marked the next special milestone in motherhood: “Bringing your first born home”.

Dom shared a sweet clip on the car ride home carrying “the most precious cargo forever and ever”. While her mum shared snaps of the duo settling in at home.

“That first drive is the scariest!” one follower commented.

While another said: “All the best hon. Not the easiest job but most definitely the MOST rewarding 💕.”

She revealed her heartfelt pregnancy news in March 2025, announcing she was expecting her first child.

“Been a little MIA working on my greatest project yet…..Baby 🐣 due September 2025 🤍,” she captioned the post.

Since then, Dom kept her followers across her pregnancy journey, from being hospitalised with “serious” thyroiditis to ‘baby brain’ and moments of exhaustion and of course, bump progress shots.

In August 2025, Dom counted down to the birth of her baby girl with a beautiful pastel themed baby shower.

The reality star was joined by two very special women in her life.

Cradling her growing bump, Dom was joined by her mum and her nonna as the three generations (now four!) embraced for a photo.
