Melissa Chan-Green made a very sweet announcement on the AM show this morning.
Sitting alongside her co-host Ryan Bridge and 3-year-old son Busby, the morning show host turned to her son and said, “Now Busby, we’ve been rehearsing something at home haven’t we, we’ve been practising because mummy’s had alittle secret.”
Bridge knowingly smiles at the camera before Chan-Green asks her son to announce the news into her microphone.

The announcement quickly resulted in cheers from Bridge and other members in the studio.
“We’re having a baby, another baby next year, so Busby you’re going to be a big brother. That’ll be so cool won’t it, he’s going to be a wonderful big brother,” she said.
Chan-Green went on to say she had previously told her co-host and had been sneakily hiding her bump in recent weeks by placing her cards in front of her “growing little bump”.
The soon-to-be mother of two said the news was almost shared on the show a couple of weeks ago but before they cut to the video, Bridge shared his wellwishes with his co-host.
“All of us here at AM are so happy for you, he said adding, “I know how much it means to you, how much it means to Caspar [Chan-Green’s husband], but yes, there was a little moment wasn’t there, where the secret was maybe nearly let out of the bag,”
They went on to play a clip of the show from October 20 where Chan-Green said the hosts had some “personal news” to share and revealed Bridge had been nominated as a finalist for best news and current affairs presenter at the New Zealand TV Awards.

Bridge responded by saying, “I thought you were about to announce that you were having a baby or something.”
Thankfully, Chan-Green’s exciting news was kept a secret until she was ready to share.
The morning show host went on to say she is “super excited” and “feels very, very lucky.”
Chan-Green and her husband welcomed their first child on November 21 in 2019.
