Domenica Calarco, a former bride on Married At First Sight, posted Instagram clips Wednesday showing her slender post‑baby figure just 13 days after giving birth, sharing close‑up images of her newborn and confirming the child’s name.
In one clip, the 32‑year‑old wore black tights and a matching bra and exposed a flat midriff while going makeup‑free and wearing her hair up under a pink band; her newborn slept in a bassinet nearby. She captioned the footage, "13 days PP reality check," and later joked that her breasts "felt like they were about to explode." In a separate Story she posted a selfie of her sleeping baby with the caption "Product review 10/10," adding "I made that" and "All I do is stare at her."
Calarco shared a carousel of images a few days after the birth that included a black‑and‑white portrait of her cradling the baby and a close‑up of the newborn asleep on her chest, the infant’s arm reaching toward jewelry that included a necklace bearing the word "mama." She revealed the baby’s name as Dove and gave the date of birth as Aug. 28, 2025.
Calarco confirmed in March that she was expecting and said she would be raising the child as a solo parent after splitting from her former boyfriend, Jarod. She deleted posts referencing him from her social media and told media she would embrace motherhood "on [her] own terms" while acknowledging the father would be involved in a co‑parenting capacity. "I am incredibly excited about this next chapter in my life and feel truly empowered by my decision to step into motherhood on my own terms," she said at the time.
Calarco rose to public attention as a participant on the 2022 season of Married At First Sight Australia. Her recent posts follow the common practice among reality TV personalities of using social platforms to share personal milestones directly with followers.
The posts drew attention for their candidness about early post‑partum life and for the rapid physical recovery Calarco displayed in the clips. She has not provided additional details about the co‑parenting arrangement or her longer‑term plans for childcare and public appearances.
