Gogglebox Australia favourites Lee and Keith have shared joyful family news after their daughter Shannon and her fiancé Ben Muscat welcomed a new baby. The couple marked the moment with a warm message and revealed the adorable name chosen for the newest member of the family.
Lee and Keith Share Joyful Family News
After more than a decade of appearing on Gogglebox Australia, Lee and Keith have become familiar faces to viewers across the country.
Now, away from the television screen, the much-loved couple have shared a very personal reason to celebrate.
Their daughter Shannon and her fiancé Ben Muscat have welcomed a baby, adding another member to the close-knit family.
Lee and Keith announced the news in a short message shared on Instagram.
“Welcome to the clan little Braxton,” they wrote.
They also congratulated Shannon and Ben, describing them as the proud parents.
The arrival of Braxton means Lee and Keith are now grandparents to three children.
The couple have two adult children, Joel and Shannon, and were already proud grandparents to Riley and Darcey before the newest arrival.
Lee and Keith have previously spoken warmly about how much they enjoy being grandparents.
Before the birth, they said they “can’t wait” for the new arrival and added that they “love having the grandkids”.
Their excitement had also been echoed by people close to the family.
A family friend previously told Woman’s Day that Lee and Keith were “absolutely stoked” and were counting down to the family celebrations ahead.
Two Big Reasons for the Family to Celebrate
The baby news came during another exciting chapter for Shannon and Ben.
The couple are also engaged, meaning the family had been preparing for both a wedding and a new arrival at the same time.
One source described the timing as “wonderful”, saying there was a great deal of excitement surrounding the family.
“They’ve gone from talking about wedding plans to talking about baby names and grandparents’ duties,” the source said.
“There’s a lot of excitement in the family at the moment.”
The same source suggested Lee and Keith were likely to be very hands-on grandparents and joked that they may already have been thinking about their first babysitting duties.
Why the News Was Kept Close to Home
According to the report, Lee and Keith had chosen not to make a big public announcement about the pregnancy beforehand.
A source said that keeping the news relatively private was simply the way the family preferred to handle personal moments.
Those close to them, however, were said to be thrilled.
The family were already celebrating Shannon and Ben’s engagement when the pregnancy brought another reason for excitement.
The source said relatives were looking forward to introducing the new baby to family and friends and spending time together as the next chapter began.
Lee and Keith Marked 40 Years of Marriage
The latest family milestone comes after another important celebration for Lee and Keith.
The couple marked their 40th wedding anniversary in November 2025.
Over the years, they have spoken openly about the friendship and honesty they believe have helped their marriage last.
Speaking to New Idea in 2023, Lee said the pair had always tried to be completely open with one another.
“We have no secrets. We never lie to each other,” she said.
“You have to be best friends with the person you’re married to.”
She added that being able to talk about everything, including difficult or uncomfortable moments, had been an important part of their relationship.
Keith Has Long Loved Being a Grandfather
Keith has also previously spoken about how much becoming a grandfather meant to him.
During a Facebook Q&A in 2020, he said he loved “everything” about the experience.
He recalled the anticipation before the birth of his first grandchild, followed by the excitement of finally being able to hold and care for the baby.
“Lucky I’m a young pa,” he joked at the time.
Years later, that family has grown once again.
And with one simple message — “Welcome to the clan little Braxton” — Lee and Keith have now shared another joyful chapter with the viewers who have followed them for so long.
