MARRIED At First Sight star Rebecca ‘Beck’ Zemek has broken down in tears in an emotionally-charged video after discovering she is pregnant.
Beck and her fiancé Ben Mitchell suffered a heartbreaking miscarriage in December and did not expect to conceive again so quickly.

But taking to Instagram, 31-year-old Beck has now revealed the moment she discovered she had fallen pregnant again.
In a sweet video, the MAFS Australia star reaches forward and picks up a pregnancy test from the table.
She then puts her hand to her mouth and begins visibly shaking.
With tears rolling down her face, Beck holds the test up to the camera to reveal two pink lines.
Alongside the clip, Beck – who starred on MAFS Australia in 2021 – told her followers the video was taken last month.
It came after the couple suffered a silent miscarriage with their second child in December last year.
A ‘silent or missed miscarriage’ is diagnosed when an ultrasound scan discovers the baby has no heartbeat or is too small for the date of a pregnancy, the NHS explains.
Beck had to undergo a surgical procedure afterwards to remove tissue from the uterus, called a D&C (dilation and curettage).
She said: “After a silent miscarriage and a D&C, finding out I’m pregnant again has brought a mix of emotions I didn’t know I could feel all at once.
“Joy, fear, hope, anxiety…they all live here now 💔.
“This journey hasn’t been easy, and every day I’m learning to sit with the unknown while still letting a little light in. But it’s been HARD.
“At this point in time I remember thinking I just wanted to know how far I am so I know how far I need to go. I’ll share over the next few days what the last 2 months have looked like and get you up to speed, but for now let’s just start with this.”
Beck’s video also features footage of her sitting on the bed before heading off to have a blood test.
Again, the star breaks down in tears as she talks about their “long road ahead”.
“This has come as such a surprise to Ben and I,” Beck admits.
“Since my D&C, my period hadn’t come back regularly. It was like back to my old PCOS days and was roughly 47 days apart, which means I could now be up to eight weeks pregnant.”
Trying to hold back tears, she continues: “Obviously there’s a lot of exciting emotions but a lot of hurt and fear as well, which is normal.
“I knew it would probably be this way. But I didn’t expect to fall pregnant so fast so I’m really, really blessed and grateful for that.
“Obviously it’s a long road ahead.”
Beck was unsuccessfully matched with groom Jake Edwards on MAFS Australia.
She had previously begun dating Ben and had attempted to keep their relationship under wraps while filming the series. Her marriage to Jake hit the skids as a result of them being found out.
In May 2022, the couple welcomed their first child together – a daughter called Immy Bloom.
Ben popped the question in April last year.

In December, Beck made the heartbreaking admission they had suffered a miscarriage.
“I can’t get my words and thoughts together, so I’ll just write them,” she wrote on social media.
“At a routine check up, I experienced a silent miscarriage in my second trimester.
“The next moments were surreal. The baby had stopped growing, but my body hadn’t realised yet. There were decisions to be made.
“Decisions no one prepares you for. Decisions that make the whole thing feel painfully real.”
At the time, she added: “It’s a grief like no other, but what I’ve come to realise is the love I felt for that tiny life is real, no matter how brief it was.
“We’re just going to try to heal and work through this and move forward.”
