The Wiggles family will soon have two new exciting additions, with one of their own announcing some very special news this morning.
Caterina Mete, who was named a Red Wiggle in 2021, has shared she’s pregnant with identical twin daughters, who are due in July, following a “challenging IVF journey”.
“Becoming a mother has always been a dream of mine. I feel overwhelmingly blessed to share that I am expecting two beautiful little miracles,” Mete, 43, said in a statement.

“Caterina’s strength, courage, and unwavering optimism have inspired us all. We cannot wait to meet her twin girls and watch her embrace the joys of motherhood.”
