Gorry, 31, confirmed the news in an adorable Instagram post on Thursday which also featured the couple's two-year-old daughter Harper and the family dog.
The post showed ultrasound images of their baby and was captioned, 'Adding more love to our love story.'
And it didn't take long for many of her Matildas teammates to respond with well wishes.
'Omg congrats,' wrote Matildas veteran Kyah Simon.

Defender Ellie Carpenter weighed in with two love emojis, while rising star Kyra Cooney-Cross stated: 'So much love for the three of you, [teammate] Charlotte Grant and I are going to be the best aunties.'
Gorry and Markstedt, 34, were teammates at Swedish club Vittsjo GIK, but their next move is unknown after the striker recently retired.
Another club in Europe or the US is the likely destination, and Gorry won't be short of offers after she was a standout for Australia at the World Cup.
Before the tournament on home soil, the Matildas first ever captain, Julie Dolan, told Daily Mail Australia that Gorry was even more important to the side's chances at the World Cup than her more high-profile teammates.
'People keep talking about the big guns like Sam [Kerr] and Ellie [Carpenter] and people like that, and that's great - they are global, household names.
'But Katrina Gorry is my favourite. You can't win without Gorry,' Dolan declared.

When it comes to baby number two for the happy couple, Markstedt will carry their bundle of joy this time round, after Gorry welcomed daughter Harper into the world following IVF treatment in 2021.
Earlier this year, Gorry and Markstedt announced their engagement, with the plan to get married at Hamilton Island come 2025.
'We are going to try to keep it as traditional and beautiful as we can,' Gorry said.
'A lot of the Matildas have been my family for a long time so they were so excited for me. 'I'd love to have them there.'
