Purple Wiggle Lachlan Gillespie says he and fiancée Dana Stephensen won’t be getting married anytime soon – following the birth of their twin daughters Lulu and Lottie

He announced his engagement to his girlfriend, Dana Stephensen in April last year.

But on Wednesday, Lachlan Gillespie revealed he’s in no rush to tie the knot with the 35-year-old ballet dancer following the birth of their twin daughters Lulu and Lottie.

‘We haven’t even talked about it,’ the Purple Wiggle, 35, told The Daily Telegraph’s Confidential.

He continued: ‘Maybe when everything settles down but at the ­moment it is just too full on.’

Lachlan and Dana surprised everyone when they announced the arrival of their twins in an Instagram post back in September.

Lachlan shared a photo of his newborn daughters resting with their mother Dana, as he looked on lovingly.

He wrote in the caption: ‘Oh Lulu and Lottie, your mummy and daddy love you with all we have – you are both so beautiful – and I would love to sing to you both forever’. 

Neither Lachlan nor Dana gave any hint they were expecting, and their social media accounts did not show many recent photos.

Fans were stunned, with many voicing their complete shock at the news.

The couple announced their engagement in April in a sweet Instagram post, with Lachlan writing: ‘On Thursday night, Dana asked me to marry her at home under a fairy light sky and a very excited little boy in a beautiful bow tie.’

Dana was previously married to Melbourne photographer Michael Kai, with whom she shares her four-year-old son Jasper.

Meanwhile, Lachlan separated from his Wiggles bandmate Emma Watkins (a.k.a. The Yellow Wiggle) in August 2018, after two years of marriage.
