Many of the couple's celebrity friends congratulated the happy couple in the comments section, including Rebecca Judd, Jesinta Franklin and Kyly Clarke.
'Yippee - congratulations beautiful girl. You'll be an amazing mum. Can't wait to see you in your new role,' Rebecca wrote.
Jake also shared the same photo to his Instagram page, and told his 82,600 followers: 'I'm going to be a dad! Can't wait to meet our little girl!'
Jennifer expressed her desire to start a family in September last year, citing parenthood as one of the reasons from her departure from retail giant Myer.
At the time, the former Miss Universe Australia, had been the department store's ambassador for an incredible 12 years.
Speaking at her final runway show for the retailer in Melbourne, she told the Herald Sun: 'I'd love to have a family, it's taking the time to look ahead. I want to have the time to be able to do that.'

The power couple have gone on to mix business with pleasure, launching their own tequila line and working on their property development company, J Group Projects.
Jennifer and Jake currently reside in their mega-mansion in Newport, an exclusive suburb in Sydney's Northern Beaches, which was built on a plot of land bought for $4 million by the couple in 2014.
Their love nest - which sprawls over four levels - features an indoor elevator, home theatre and private gym.
