Melina’s fellow reporters flocked to the comments to share their congratulations.

‘Welcome to a wonderful world and a wonderful family, little cutie Clover! Congratulations Mummy Mel!’ wrote Melbourne journalist Paul Dowsley. 

‘Congrats Mel and fam. She’s adorable,’ 9News Melbourne star Neary Ty said.

7News Melbourne sports presenter Rebecca Maddern said: ‘Absolutely stunning. Enjoy that love bubble.’

‘Precious baby girl. You are so loved,’ commented reporter Sara Jones. 

It comes after Melina and her husband suffered a heartbreaking fertility journey as they attempted to have a second child. 

‘I went through three miscarriages over a year, one occurring at 11 weeks and another heart-wrenching loss at 20 weeks,’ Melina shared with 7News on Friday.

‘There is so much self blame and guilt associated with miscarriage. I often blamed my body and felt like I was letting us down.’

Following their struggle to have another baby, Melina and Jonathan turned to IVF in 2024 and were overjoyed to welcome Clover as a result. 

‘I think it’s important to talk about the topic and the reality of trying to grow a family. It’s not always easy. Fertility issues can affect anyone,’ Melina added.

She went on to say her family of four ‘is now complete and it’s just the best feeling’.   

Melina has been very open about her heartbreaking string of miscarriages.

In February, when the news reporter was 23 weeks pregnant with Clover, she revealed she also had another miscarriage before her son Romeo was born.

She told Herald Sun her pregnancy defied the odds with doctors telling her to ‘stop trying’.

‘I fell pregnant again when Romeo was 14 months and I’ve lost one at 11 weeks, 20 weeks and just over six weeks in the space of a year,’ Melina admitted.

‘We said, “Let’s give it one last shot,” and we went through IVF and were lucky it happened first go.’

Following a heartbreaking fertility journey which included three miscarriages, Melina penned, 'Our baby girl is finally here,' and shared the bub's adorable name—Clover

Melina added she suffered a miscarriage at work, as well as a seizure while undergoing surgery.

She also revealed she had grown tired of ‘telling people and retracting it,’ but remained confident of a happy outcome this time around.

‘We are blessed to have one healthy child and I am so fortunate now,’ she said.

‘I’m starting to get confident because I can feel it kicking. I’m due end of May and I’m done putting my life on hold so this will be it.’

Melina also told the publication she would be delivering the baby via C-section.
