"Well speaking of babies, I have some news for you tonight ... I am having a baby," Bickmore told audiences during Wednesday's broadcast of The Project.
"My boyfriend Chris and I are expecting a baby next year."
The 33-year-old has been in a relationship with Chris Walker, a former producer on The Project, for more than two years.
This will be Bickmore's second child. She has a six-year-old son, Oliver, from her marriage with Greg Lange, who passed away in 2010 following a 10-year battle with cancer.
Oliver is "stoked" to be welcoming a new sibling, Bickmore said.
The announcement came as a surprise to her co-hosts, Matt Doran, Peter Helliar and Steve Price, who later presented Bickmore with a bunch of flowers.
"That was genuine surprise from us because none of us had any idea," Dorman said.
Well, that wasn't on the rundown! Breaking news and congratulations on Baby #2,
@BickmoreCarrie!
