Stroll wrote: “Love you baby daddy ❤️”

Sam Mac, Channel 7’s famous weatherman on Sunrise, is also James’ brother-in-law.

“So excited for you guys! The best news,” he said.

And Channel 7 sports reader Mel McLaughlin wrote: “Stop it!! Beautiful singing snowboarder genes ❤️❤️❤️”

But the fame stakes went a little higher when Hollywood mega-star Catherine Zeta-Jones joined the action and said she was “screaming with joy”.

“Vigorous! Very vigorous,” Zeta-Jones, a friend of Stroll’s family, wrote.

AFL great and popular radio host Brendan Fevola said: “Congratulations mate awesome news,”

And Aussie surfing legend Mick Fanning wrote: “Congrats brother. Magical times ahead.”

The pair married in a lavish Italian wedding last year, after they were introduced in 2019 by Chloe’s brother and F1 driver Lance.

At the time, Lance was so convinced by the match that he told his sibling Scotty was “the guy you’re going to marry”.

James told Sunrise in 2022 that Chloe was the “woman of my dreams”, and joked that asking her father if he could marry his daughter was great mental training for the Winter Olympics.

“There’s no more pressure than asking Chloe’s dad for her hand in marriage,” he said.

“That was a lot of pressure.”
