As well as their adorable announcement video, the couple, who got together in 2021, also let fans in on the moment they found out they were expecting another baby girl.

However, it hasn’t all been plain sailing as the reality TV star shared her partner’s reaction to finding out their child’s sex. ‘He wanted a boy so bad,’ she told The Mirror. ‘I don’t want to ruin his reaction – because it was a big one, but we’re filming a TV show at the minute and we filmed the whole gender reveal, so I don’t want to give too much away, but he was devastated.

‘Now, he’s come round to the idea, so it’s all good.’. According to Today.com, gender disappointment affects around 20% of expectant parents. She went on to joke she was ‘just surviving at this point’ as she gets closer to her baby’s arrival.

‘I’m so ready to have this baby now. I can’t wait. I’ve been throwing up all morning! I was still being sick right up until I had my first baby, and it’s been the same this time,’ she continued. ‘I actually hadn’t been sick for about three weeks, and I thought it was over – but then, wow, this morning it hit me like a ton of bricks.’.
