Australian property investor Adrian Portelli tends to keep his private life out of the spotlight, but the high-profile businessman now has a major personal milestone to celebrate.
The Block bidder, widely recognised as “Mr Lambo” thanks to his passion for luxury supercars, is preparing to become a father for the first time, with his girlfriend due to give birth in late January.
Portelli, 34, confirmed the baby news to Daily Mail Australia on Tuesday, while opting not to publicly reveal his partner’s identity.
People close to the tattooed entrepreneur say he is “beyond excited” about becoming a dad and is eagerly embracing what they described as a “new chapter” in his life.
The announcement comes only weeks after it emerged that Portelli’s glamorous former partner, brunette Anastasia Iliopoulos, is set to feature in the next season of The Bachelors.

A network insider has claimed Anastasia, 31, will make it to the final stages with Sydney-based model Ben on the reality dating series.
The stunning mother-of-one was in a long term relationship with Portelli before going their separate ways in December.
Portelli is a multi-millionaire property investor and online promotions guru with an estimated net worth of $350million.

Portelli meanwhile made headlines last year for pushing up the price of Omar and Oz’s home during The Block finale.
He opened the bidding at $4.5million – far above the $4.08million reserve – and his aggressive style meant eventual buyer Danny Wallis ended up paying an eye-watering $5,666,666.66 for the five-bedroom, 10-acre Gisborne estate.
He also runs his own promotions and giveaway business, focusing on luxury vehicles and prestige houses, and is the owner of The Little Legends Foundation, which provides urgent medical care and offers experiences for vulnerable children.
He founded auto enthusiast club LMCT+ in 2018, which has now become Australia’s largest and fastest-growing car community
