Ariarne Titmus announces pregnancy, two months after engagement

Titmus and fiancé Mac Powell announced on Instagram they are expecting their first child.

The couple announced the news on Instagram with the message: "Our little love." Titmus and Powell got engaged in Greece on her 26th birthday, just two months ago.

Powell proposed on a beach and travelled to Brisbane to formally ask her father's permission first. The pair met on a blind date set up by a mutual friend.

Titmus retired from competitive swimming last year, aged 25, after winning three individual gold medals at the Paris Olympics. She has since moved into media work, commentating for Seven Network.
