MasterChef participants Christina Christofi and Angel Sahpatzis announce pregnancy

Cypriot chef and former MasterChef contestant Christina Christofi and her partner Angel Sahpatzis announced on November 12, 2026, that they are expecting their first child. The couple, who met during the 2024 season of the popular cooking reality show, shared the news through a creative social media post featuring photos taken at an outdoor produce market.

In the announcement, the couple revealed that they are expecting a boy, with the birth date projected for January 2027. The photo series depicted the expectant parents in a playful setting among market stalls, with one image showing Christofi cradling her stomach near red peppers and another capturing Sahpatzis with a camera. While most reports confirm the couple is preparing for the birth, one source, Reporter, incorrectly stated that the baby had already been born; however, the consensus from other reports and the couple's own caption specifies that the arrival is scheduled for early next year.
