The happy pair wrapped their arms around each other on the red carpet as Emanuel debuted her baby bump.
Eoin looked super handsome as he rocked a three-piece tweed brown suit and a blue floral tie.
While Emanuel wore a beautiful cream knitted maxi dress which perfectly showed off her growing bump.
The mum-to-be, who was showcasing her movie Riff Raff at the film festival, is currently eight months pregnant.
Eoin gushed about his girlfriend as he wrote in his caption: "Ridiculously proud of this girl this weekend at TIFF, absolute rockstar with a spell binding performance in Riff Raff.
"I haven’t enjoyed a movie this much since True Romance, Dito Montiel & writer John Pollono made a sublime film, which is the kind of movie that carries the soul of film festivals."
He also that the couple had an extra "plus one" and hinted at the baby's gender.
He said: "Grazie Mille @variety & @chanelofficial for a lovely evening and dinner with my beautiful girls….. @emanuelapostacchini +1 - could not be more proud of you."
Shocked fans immediately flocked to the comment section to congratulate the pair on their exciting news.
Georgia wrote: "Tell me how I'm only just finding out she's prego. Congratulations to you both."

'ART IMITATES LIFE'She added: "I still pinch my self here. Also in case you didn’t know, Marina is 8 and a half months pregnant woman in the movie. And here am I , 8 months pregnant, expecting my first child with the love of my life.
"'Art imitates Life, Life imitates Art' I guess that’s how it is. Love to you all."
The beautiful lady wore a black long-sleeved gown with cream stitching on the hemline.
Emanuel beamed as she placed her hands on the bump and turned to face the camera.
BEHIND THE SCENES IN CARRIGSTOWN
By GEORGIA WALSH, Deputy Showbiz Editor
AFTER years of writing about all the happenings in Carrigstown, I finally got to step on to their set as an actor.
I’ve a bit of experience as an extra. I played a wedding guest in Leap Year back in 2011, and when I was 13, I played an orphan in Byzantium. That meant I had to sleep in a coffin beside a young actress called Saoirse Ronan.
But this marked my TV debut, and seeing how hard soap acting really is.
Myself and a few other reporters got to sit in the iconic pub, McCoys, which looked a lot smaller and almost unrecognisable in person as it is set inside the RTE studio.
My starring role saw me sat at the bar, chatting to the barman and another girl beside me.
With my past experience, I had a few tricks up my sleeve, such as miming the word “rhubarb” repeatedly to make it look like I’m talking without making any noise.
I was given a pint of non-alcoholic beer that I pretended to drink, as I wouldn’t be able to even pretend to like the taste — despite all my ‘acting experience’.
Ali Fox (Babs), Mark Asante (Victor), Shane McCarthy (Greg) and Aoife Bawle (Jess) were filming an intense scene while we were in McCoys.
However, the actors talk extremely quietly, so I couldn’t make out what was being said.
The hardest part was trying not to laugh or turn around to see what was going on!
We also got to roam around the outside set, which was bizarre to see as it looks like a real-life town.
It was a fun experience, but I think I’ll stick to writing about the show, instead of being in front of the camera!
