Bikini Body Guide founder Kayla Itsines has announced that she is pregnant with her first child.

The Sweat app trainer revealed she is 20 weeks along in a touching post on Instagram to her 10.6 million followers. 

The 27-year-old confirmed the news on Thursday morning, gushing that she and finance Tobi Pearce - who proposed in April this year - couldn't be more thrilled.

"Tobi and I do not even have words to describe how happy and excited we are to bring you this news," she wrote.

"To be able to start my own family with the person I love most in this world is just an absolute dream come true."

In a statement, Kayla said starting a family with Tobi was something she had always dreamed of.

"I've wanted kids ever since I met Tobi and it's something we have always talked about," Kayla said. "It turns out that when we were ready it was just perfect timing."

On Monday the pair found out the sex of their baby and will reveal the gender to their followers around Christmas time.

At 25 years old Itsines was named Forbes number one fitness influencer.

Her 'Sweat with Kayla' app earned her more than $17 million in revenue in 2016, according to analytics company App Annie.

The workout star launched her own business after seeing a gap in the market at her job as a personal trainer in Adelaide.
