Michael Brunelli is overcome with emotion as he discusses impending fatherhood in interview before his fiancée Martha Kalifatidis gave birth to their first child

Michael Brunelli has revealed what he's looking forward to the most as a first-time dad.

The Married At First Sight star, who recently welcomed his first child Lucius with fiancée Martha Kalifatidis, opened up about fatherhood on his podcast The Handbags with co-host Josh Moss.

During the podcast episode, which was uploaded on February 23 and less than a week before Martha gave birth, Michael admitted things will be a 'little bit easier' for him once the baby arrives.

'Obviously, [Martha's] going to be breastfeeding, I can't do it. Unless we do swap over to a bottle at some point, which is a discussion we'll have when the time comes,' he told Josh.

'But I think in that period, there'll be no complaining from me.'
