Bree Tomasel, the ZM host and Celebrity Treasure Island presenter, became a parent in July 2026 when her fiancée Sophia Gould gave birth to their son, Toto. It capped a big year for the Queensland-born broadcaster: she proposed to Gould in March, announced the pregnancy live on air in April and co-hosted Celebrity Treasure Island from late April into May. Here is what she has shared about her partner, her family, her age and how an Aussie ended up as one of New Zealand’s best-known voices.
Who is Sophia Gould?
Sophia Gould is Bree Tomasel’s fiancée and the mother of their son, Toto. The pair met in 2018, the same year Tomasel moved to New Zealand, and live in Auckland with their two dogs. They got engaged in March 2026, and Gould gave birth to Toto in July. Her age and job have not been made public.
Tomasel proposed in March 2026 at Te Pare Point on the Coromandel Peninsula, overlooking Gould’s family bach, and announced the engagement on Instagram. Tomasel told the Herald that Gould is “the most loyal, ride or die person, and that’s what I’ve always searched for.”
Is Bree Tomasel married
Not yet. The couple are engaged, and the wedding was pushed back when they found out they were expecting. “The bad news is that the wedding has to be postponed – the good news is it’s because Sophia’s pregnant,” Tomasel announced on air, the NZ Herald reported. They plan to skip a bridal party, keep the ceremony to just the two of them and celebrate with family and friends. No new wedding date had been announced as of October 2026.
Bree Tomasel’s baby and his name
Tomasel shared the pregnancy news live on ZM’s Bree & Clint show in late April 2026, with a July due date. Their son arrived at 5.45am on a Wednesday at the end of July, and the couple named him Toto. Stuff reported the birth on 31 July 2026 under the headline “My whole world is complete”. Toto is the couple’s first child.
Where is Bree Tomasel from
She is Australian. Tomasel grew up on her family’s apple orchard in Stanthorpe, in southern Queensland. Her parents are Dianne and Stephen Tomasel, and she has an older sister, Amber, and a younger brother, Aiden. At 15 she boarded at St Peters Lutheran College in Brisbane, played softball for the Queensland Academy of Sport and later finished a communication degree at the University of Queensland.
Why did Bree Tomasel move to New Zealand
Work brought her here. After starting in radio at Nova 106.9 in Brisbane in 2010 and then co-hosting a breakfast show on Hit101.3 on the Central Coast of New South Wales, she moved to New Zealand in 2018 to co-host Bree & Clint on ZM with Clint Roberts. She has stayed ever since and lives in Auckland.
