In a bombshell revelation that has sent waves through the Home and Away fandom, rising star Martha Kate Morga is rumoured to be pregnant at just 17, with sources close to the production claiming cast and crew were left “blindsided” by the news.

Morga, who joined the long-running soap earlier this year and quickly became one of Summer Bay’s most talked-about fresh faces, has suddenly found herself at the centre of a media storm after whispers of an alleged pregnancy began circulating online late last night. While the actress has not publicly confirmed anything, insiders insist that the leak “did not come from her inner circle,” suggesting an unauthorised disclosure that has created chaos behind the scenes.

According to one production source, the leak emerged after a crew member reportedly overheard a private conversation and began spreading the rumour. “People were stunned,” the source revealed. “Martha is known for being mature and committed to her work, and the last thing anyone expected was a situation like this to explode so publicly.”

Representatives for the young actress have remained tight-lipped, declining to confirm or deny the claims. However, those who have worked closely with her say that if the rumours are true, Morga is facing the kind of pressure that would be overwhelming for anyone, let alone a teenager whose career is only just taking flight.

Martha has already gained a strong following, thanks to her emotional performance as fiery newcomer Bella Shaw, whose troubled past and complicated relationships have added a fresh edge to the show. Off-screen, she has maintained a relatively private profile, avoiding the typical social-media spotlight that often shadows young rising stars. This latest leak, insiders say, has left her feeling “exposed, upset, and overwhelmed.”

Meanwhile, Home and Away producers are said to be in emergency discussions about how this revelation could impact future storylines. While the show has navigated real-life pregnancies before, the circumstances here are uniquely delicate due to Morga’s age. “No one wants to put additional strain on her,” a senior crew member explained. “But there are big decisions to be made, and they have to be made quickly.”

Fans have taken to online forums in droves, debating the legitimacy of the rumour and expressing sympathy for the young actress. Some have urged media outlets to show restraint until official confirmation is given, while others fear the leak could invite unwelcome scrutiny or pressure at a time when Morga may be grappling with intensely personal circumstances.

Co-stars have so far avoided commenting publicly, though several were seen visiting Morga’s apartment this morning, sparking speculation that the cast is quietly rallying around her during what one insider called “an incredibly vulnerable moment.”

With mounting pressure, growing speculation, and the eyes of the industry fixed firmly on her, Martha Kate Morga now finds herself navigating a deeply personal situation in the harsh glare of public attention.

Whether the rumour is confirmed or denied in the days ahead, one thing is certain: this is a story far from over.
