NRL star James Tedesco was spotted leaving a lavish dinner in Sydney on Wednesday with his pregnant wife Maria ahead of the birth of their first child this October.
The couple enjoyed a fine dining experience at ARIA Sydney as celebrity chefs Gordon Ramsay and Matt Moran curated a seven-course menu for three-nights only.
Maria showed off her growing baby bump as they left the restaurant, donning a long taupe dress and a black blazer.
She was photographed with her hand on her bump, making her dazzling engagement ring hard to miss.
The happy couple got married last January at a lavish ceremony in Hunter Valley and three months later they announced they were having a baby.
After meeting the chefs and enjoying seven courses at the extravaganza, Sydney Roosters star James looked calm and content as he left the restaurant.
He looked dapper in a pair of cream trousers, a black jumper, and a navy coat.
The exclusive event, which cost $495 per person for the meal and an extra $295 for a wine pairing, attracted some of Sydney’s most elite.
Jimmy Barnes was spotted leaving the restaurant with his wife Jane.
The couple looked loved-up after their glamorous evening as they were photographed smiling, laughing, and hugging one another on the chilly streets.
The singer looked cool but comfortable in a pair of black slacks, a black shirt and a khaki jacket.
Maria was dressed to the nines in a full-length gown that had red roses on it and featured a thigh-high split on the side.
She paired it with black high heels and accessorised with a pair of big gold hoop earrings.
Over the three nights, attendees enjoyed the food, which was curated by Ramsay and Moran and showcased the cookery of Matt Abé, the chef patron at Restaurant Gordon Ramsay.
Guests also got to meet the celebrity chefs in the intimate setting, as they were both photographed on Monday chatting with diners inside the restaurant.
