Home and Away Star Lukas Radovich and Husband Welcome Their First Child — Fans Are Overjoyed
It’s a moment that’s capturing hearts across Australia! Home and Away favourite Lukas Radovich, known for his beloved role as Ryder Jackson, has shared beautiful news — he and his husband have officially welcomed their first child together.
A Joyful Surprise Shared With Fans
Late last night, Lukas announced the arrival on Instagram with a tender post showing the couple cradling their newborn in a softly lit hospital room.
“Our world just got a whole lot brighter,” he wrote, alongside a rainbow emoji and a tiny baby footprint.
The post immediately went viral. Former Home and Away co-stars — including Emily Symons and Georgie Parker — filled the comments with congratulations. Fans called the moment “pure magic” and “a new chapter of love and pride.”

A Private Love Story Made Public
Lukas has always kept his personal life private, choosing to share only small glimpses of his relationship over the years.
The couple, who reportedly tied the knot earlier this year in a quiet ceremony, have been together for several years. Their decision to finally share this milestone made the announcement even more emotional for longtime viewers.
For many fans, Lukas’s portrayal of Ryder — a character known for kindness, warmth, and hope — now feels beautifully mirrored in his real life.
Fans Celebrate the Moment
Social media has been flooded with messages of love and support.
One fan commented, “Watching Ryder grow up on screen, and now seeing Lukas become a dad — I’m not crying, you’re crying!”
Another wrote, “Representation matters so much. Seeing two proud dads share their joy means everything.”
Many praised Lukas for sharing his journey so openly, saying his story will inspire LGBTQ+ couples who dream of starting families of their own.
A New Chapter Ahead
Since leaving Home and Away in 2022, Lukas has focused on stage and independent film work. But for now, those close to him say family comes first.
“He’s over the moon,” a source told TV Tonight. “This has been a dream for both of them for years.”
Fans are eagerly waiting for one more reveal — the baby’s name. Lukas teased that it will be announced “when the time feels right.”
A Story of Love, Family, and Pride
For fans who’ve followed Lukas from Summer Bay to his newest role — fatherhood — this news feels like a full-circle moment.
It’s not just the start of a new family; it’s a celebration of love, representation, and happiness.
