 At the time, a pregnant Breeana said that Mick would make an ‘amazing father’.

‘I’m so excited for this beautiful and rad journey together as a family, and to see you flourish as a daddy. You melt my heart everyday with your outpouring of love and affection,’ she wrote on Instagram.

The loved-up couple went public with their relationship in late November 2017, about two years after Mick split from his first wife, Karissa Dalton.
