Heavily pregnant Abbey Holmes stuns as she shows off her huge baby bump in sheer dress at Glamour on the Grid in Melbourne

Abbey Holmes was glowing as she flaunted her blossoming baby bump at the star-studded Glamour on the Grid event in Melbourne on Wednesday.

The 33-year-old sports commentator, who is expecting her first child with husband Keegan Brooksby, turned heads in a stunning off-the-shoulder sheer blue gown that hugged her growing belly at the Formula One event.

Abbey lovingly cradling her bump in the elegant dress, which featured ruched detailing at the shoulders. 

The bombshell accessorised with dazzling drop earrings and a delicate bracelet, adding a touch of elegance to her glamorous look. 

She completed the look with a sleek updo, bronzed makeup and strappy heels, exuding effortless glamor. 

The Channel Seven sports commentator looked radiant as she posed alongside former AFL ruckman Keegan, who cut a dapper figure in a classic black tuxedo and bow tie.

The soon-to-be parents beamed as they mingled at the exclusive event, clearly overjoyed about their impending arrival.

In January, Abbey announced she was expecting her first child, saying she and her husband were overjoyed, reported Herald Sun.

Sharing the news with their family over Christmas first, Abbey went on to reveal she discovered she was pregnant after running the New York Marathon in November. 

‘As you can imagine, it was a bit of a shock given what I had just put my body through, but I’m in awe of what the human body can do,’ she said. 

Nevertheless, Abbey said she and Keegan ‘could not be happier to welcome our first child into the world, later this year’.

‘We are so excited and grateful to be in this position, as we know how difficult it can be for so many people. We’re on cloud nine and can’t wait for this next chapter.’

Abbey said the couple have been sharing their milestone news with as many people in person as possible, adding it’s ‘a really special time for us all’.

She later shared a pregnancy announcement to Instagram, posting happy snaps of her growing baby bump taken by photographer Diana Brandt. 

The former sportswoman discovered her pregnancy just a few weeks after she returned home to Australia following her New York Marathon run. 

Abbey couldn’t hold back her emotions after crossing the finish line of her very first marathon in the Big Apple.

The Seven star shared a heartfelt video capturing the moment she wiped away tears, overwhelmed by the achievement of completing the 42.2 kilometre challenge.

‘Speechless. Proud,’ she captioned the clip. 

‘The emotion on that finish line hit me reeeeaal hard. I am a marathon runner!’

The path to the New York Marathon wasn’t easy for Holmes.

She had been juggling her on-screen commitments with Channel Seven, alongside marathon training.

The lovers married in November 2023 in a stunning ceremony at Uluru in the Northern Territory.

They wed in front of about 100 friends and family, including Abbey’s Seven commentary colleagues Luke Hodge and Brian Taylor.
