Cyrell admitted the negativity has been 'sad' and 'exhausting', adding: 'I wouldn't be surprised if my child is going to get called a publicity stunt.'
Eden echoed similar sentiments, saying: 'I guarantee people will say the baby is a publicity stunt. They'll say we got pregnant to stay relevant or to extend our 15 minutes of fame.'
The couple are yet to announce the gender of their child, but have confirmed the due date is February 2020.

Cyrell began dating Eden earlier this year, months after her 'marriage' to electrician Nic Jovanovic fell apart on MAFS.
She confirmed their relationship on an episode of Talking Married in April, following weeks of dating rumours.
'He's a cool guy… we're seeing each other,' she said at the time, adding that it wasn't exactly love at first sight for the couple.

'[Eden] is one of those guys who's so attractive that at first, I was like, "no". But then you talk, and it grows,' she said.
Before dating Cyrell, Eden was in a relationship with Erin Barnett, whom he met on the first season of Love Island Australia last year.
While Eden and Erin are no longer on speaking terms, it's believed Cyrell is still friends with Nic.
