The 34-year-old peformer and McGlinchey have been together for more than six years after meeting when Bassingthwaighte was the singer in electro-pop band Rogue Traders. The couple were engaged in July.
As reported in the Daily Telegraph, Natalie has admitted that she was surprised by how quickly she fell pregnant once planning to start a family.
"We made a decision in LA last year. We just didn't think it would happen this quickly," she said in February.
McGlinchey talked about the pregnancy in May: "For us, it was always about the time being right."
"Now the time is right. It's an opportunity to bring something good into the world."
