Kassandra Clementi, a former cast member of Home and Away, has made an unexpected announcement. The actress recently made public the news that she and partner Dan McKernan are expecting their first child.
The couple poses with pet cow Mike while Kassandra tenderly cradles her growing baby tummy in a cute Instagram photo. The actress urged her followers to help Dan’s animal refuge in Michigan as part of the pregnancy announcement and charity appeal.
She captioned the picture, saying, “It’s #GivingTuesday and Mike’s forthcoming baby sister would adore it if you could help us continue to care for all her furry brothers and sisters here at Barn Sanctuary.”
The same news was posted on his page by her partner, who also revealed that the couple is expecting a girl in May.
