pregnant

NICOLA Roberts has revealed she underwent secret surgery at 22 weeks into her pregnancy.

The Girls Aloud singer, 40, is currently expecting her first child with fiancé Mitch Hahn and is set to give birth in the coming months.

In a new post, Nicola shared a myriad of pictures from the last week, and revealed she had actually recovering after undergoing a medical procedure.

Sharing that she had surgery to “keep the baby in” at 22 weeks, Nicola didn’t expand on what had gone on, but did say she was in recovery mode.

The singer wrote to her page: “Some pics I took this week.. Hasn’t it been so nice to really feel spring..

“I’ve been under instruction not to do much since I had the surgery at 22 weeks to help keep baby in.

“Hitting that 34 week mark was a big relief. I now only have a few weeks left. Safe to say, this last bit is not the easiest is it?!

“In one breath, it will be nice to feel more comfortable again but I will also really miss my bump and having this tiny little thing in there”.

In her carousel of pictures, Nicola snapped a selfie in bed with a hot drink as she displayed her blossoming bump.

Whilst another showed the Moses basket she has prepared ahead of the little one’s arrival, with other snaps giving a glimpse into the pregnant star’s relaxed week at home.

Nicola didn’t reveal which surgery she had undergone or why, but there are several procedures which can be carried out mid-pregnancy to prevent problems further down the line.

The singer revealed on Christmas Day that she was set to become a mum for the first time.

At the time, she said in a sweet post: “Mitch and I have had the most magical Christmas Day sharing the most precious news with our families.

“We’ve been keeping a secret. We are five months pregnant!

“We can’t wait to meet our little one in the spring.”

She has been dating businessman and semi-professional footballer Mitch since 2022, with the pair getting engaged two years later.

In April, she reunited with her Girls Aloud co-stars and a number of famous pals for a Bridgerton themed baby shower.

She will have no doubt been getting some parenting advice from her fellow bandmates, who are all doting parents themselves.

ZACH Noble’s fans have been left horrified after they spotted a concerning detail in his sweet post with pregnant girlfriend Ava Hirons.

The Love Island star, 28, took to Instagram on Saturday to share a series of pictures of the pair on holiday.

The couple are seen posing up a storm on a boat as they went scuba diving in the blue water and kicked back in the sea for the loved-up snaps.

However, in two pictures, Zach was spotted puffing on a cigarette, which left his fans concerned, especially since Ava, 24, is pregnant with their first child.

One person commented: “Smoking around her is crazy.”

Another Instagram user expressed: “Ok Zacahriah. How are you so into fitness and smoking. Noo not when your about to go into fatherhood. Just NO.”

Somebody else warned: “Second hand smoke is a thing, be careful.”

Yet another said: “I can’t believe people smoke in this day and age! It’s not like the old days when people didn’t know how harmful it is. You’re going to be a dad c’mon set a good example.”’

While a fifth concerned fan added: “Please don’t smoke around your pregnant girlfriend and especially the newborn.

“Second hand smoke can increase the risk of SIDS massively. Perfect time to try quitting.”

The pair announced they’re expecting their first child together in February as he shared a scan picture on Instagram and penned: “Incoming summer ‘26.”

The two had previously dropped many telltale hints that suggested they had a baby on the way.

On December 18, Zach took to his Instagram stories revealing to fans that he had just received the “greatest news.”

He wrote: “Just found out the greatest news I think I’ve ever received. God must be real. Time to grind like never before.”

That same day Ava, who is daughter of This Morning star Caroline Hirons, took to her own page to repost an Instagram reel about pregnancy fitness training.

She then went on to upload one of her staple TikTok videos of her dancing where a baby bump could be seen peeking out underneath her hoodie.

In the following days, the pair also both followed a host of parenting accounts.

Earlier this week, Zach and Ava announced their baby’s gender with a carousel of recent pictures to tell fans the happy news.

The first photo saw a stripey baby grow, hat, tiny shoes and 3D ultrasound pictures laid out on a bed.

In another snap, the couple cuddled up and beamed in delight.

They were both wearing black but Ava had her hair tied back in a blue scarf…

And, you might have guessed it, Ava and Zach captioned the post: “It’s a boy.”

Elsewhere, the former basketball player was spotted kissing Ava’s growing bump.

Their relationship was confirmed in October after the pair were caught by a TikTok influencer while having a stroll in London.

They solidified their relationship further by moving in with each other last month, in anticipation for the birth of their child.

Natalie Portman is going to have another baby.

The actor is pregnant with her third child, the first with partner Tanguy Destable. The Oscar winner told Harper’s Bazaar that she and Destable, a French music producer who goes by the stage name Tepr, are “very excited.”

“I’m just very grateful,” she told the outlet. “I know it’s such a privilege and a miracle.”

Portman, 44, said that she grew up hearing about how difficult it can be to become pregnant. As the child of a fertility doctor, the actor said she has many loved ones who’ve struggled in their journey and she wants to be considerate and respectful. “I know how lucky it is,” she continued. “I’m very aware, and I’m very grateful. I have deep appreciation and gratitude.”

The “Black Swan” actor has two children from her marriage to ex-husband Benjamin Millepied — a son Aleph, 14, and daughter Amalia, 9 — and told Harper’s that knowing this is “probably the last time,” she is cherishing every moment.

The actor also said she’s been enjoying the spring weather in Paris, where she has lived on and off for years. One other perk of being pregnant in Paris? “In France, they consider full term to be 41 weeks rather than 40, so I guess I get an extra week to be pregnant this time around.”

Portman split from Millepied in 2024 after more than a decade of marriage. The two met on the set of Darren Aronofsky’s 2010 film “Black Swan.” Millepied — a former principal dancer with the New York City Ballet — served as a choreographer on the movie. In 2023, French outlet Voici claimed Millepied had an extramarital affair with a climate activist. Shortly after, Portman quietly filed for divorce in Paris, where the two lived.

Last year, she told Jimmy Fallon during an appearance on “The Tonight Show” that an unexpected encounter with Rihanna at Paris Fashion Week in 2024 helped get her through the split.

“I think every woman going through a divorce should get to have Rihanna say to her that she’s a bad b—,” she joked to Fallon. “It was exactly what I needed.”

Fallon played a clip of the actor’s exchange with the “Diamonds” hitmaker in which Rihanna hugs Portman and says, “You are one of the hottest b— in Hollywood forever.”

Portman replies, “Excuse me? I’m going to faint.”

Portman has been romantically linked to Destable since March 2025.

PREGNANT Molly-Mae has jetted off to Sweden on a very spenny babymoon with her fiancé Tommy Fury as the couple countdown to the birth of their second baby.

The businesswoman is set to give birth at the beginning of June and it seems the pair are keen to spend some quality time together before their family of three becomes four.

Molly spared no expense when she surprised her man with the lavish trip as they posed in front of a private jet.

The 26-year-old gifted boxer Tommy the incredible trip as an “early birthday present.”

Tommy and Molly, who officially reunited in May 2025, have been staying in a stunning £2,791.52-a-night suite.

The loved up pair checked into the five star Bürgenstock Resort Lake Lucerne, in Switzerland.

Their luxurious suite has panoramic bay window views of the lake and mountains, a huge fireplace, double bath and a very spacious master bedroom.

Reality TV star Tommy was also spotted hitting up the hotel spa, which can boost the cost of their trip to as much as £3,737.96-a-night.

Molly and Tommy visited Switzerland three years ago with her sister Zoe Rae and her brother-in-law Danny.

Tommy told fans he had been wanting to visit again after the incredible time they had.

The couple’s last trip to Switzerland came before they shocked the world by announcing their split in 2024.

They have since reunited and seem to be happier than ever on their last trip before they welcome baby number two.

As well as Tommy’s birthday, a new baby on the way, and her ever growing empire, Molly has another reason to celebrate today.

The star was named in Forbes magazine’s Top 30 under 30 list.

Taking to her Instagram, she said: “In other news… waking up to this has genuinely made me think I’ve been dreaming the last few weeks.”

The coveted nod is something no other Love Island star has ever managed to achieve.

Molly and Tommy met on the famous ITV dating show back in 2019.

A BBC Radio 1 and Radio 6 host has revealed she’s pregnant with baby number two as she shared a sweet snap of her growing bump.

Gemma Cairney, 41, gave birth to her first bundle of joy back in August 2024.

But now, the star has revealed her and her partner Cameron McAllister are set to be parents again.

Gemma took to her Instagram to tell her fans the exciting news.

She posted a stunning snap showing off her blossoming bump as she sunbathed from a sofa.

The radio host looked incredible, bathing in the sunlight.

Gemma captioned the post: “Together we sunbathe ‘n dream.”

Fans rushed to the comments to congratulate the star.

One fan wrote: “Gorgeous! congratulations beauty.”

Another fan penned: “Such a precious time, love how you have captured it here, stunning! So much love and rest to you beautiful soul.”

Meanwhile, Gemma’s celeb pal Ferne Cotton commented five love hearts.

The broadcaster shared regular pregnancy updates the first time around but it seems Gemma was keen to keep the second a bit more private.

When she announced the birth of her first baby, Gemma said: “I can’t offer enough thanks to our friends/kin, midwives, soothsayers, staunch support! 

“Never ever felt love like this. We are a fresh fam of 3, yipeeeeeeeee.”

Gemma’s career began working behind the scenes as a fashion stylist.

She then moved into radio, working for 4 Radio and Kiss FM, before joining the BBC.

Gemma also fronted radio show Big Brother‘s Big Ears with Iain Lee in 2008, a radio companion show to the reality juggernaut.

Aubrey Plaza is pregnant!

Plaza and “Girls” star Christopher Abbott are expecting their first child together. Representatives for Plaza confirmed to People that the pair are set to become parents in the fall. The couple, who have kept their romance under wraps, were spotted together at the Khaite Fall/Winter 2026 fashion show during New York Fashion Week in February.

Plaza, who’s become Hollywood’s favorite weirdo since splashing onto the scene as April Ludgate in the mockumentary sitcom “Parks and Recreation,” met Abbott when they worked together in 2020. The two starred in the psychological thriller “Black Bear,” and then joined forces once more in 2023 for the off-Broadway revival of “Danny and the Deep Blue Sea.” Abbott may be best known for stealing the hearts of “Girls” fans when he portrayed Charlie Dattolo on the HBO megahit.

In “Danny,” the pair portrayed volatile lovers, and they raved about working with each other while chatting with the New York Times ahead of the production’s premiere. “He cares but he also doesn’t care; it’s the best recipe for me for a scene partner,” Plaza said.

“It’s fun and it’s also good and it’s also safe. I like to just throw things out the window also and laugh and mess around and not take it so seriously. It’s a hard combo to come by.”

“We’re both unafraid to be ugly and weird and strange,” Abbott added. The two also agreed that although they aim to entertain the audience, they both hoped to entertain each other.

Plaza — who is known for her deadpan delivery not only on screen but also while giving interviews on red carpets and the late-night circuit — has become known for dropping lines tailor-made for internet culture. In 2011, she notoriously told Jay Leno that she was too awkward for dating. “I’m kind of like all or nothing,” she said. “Either put a baby inside of me or leave me alone.”

The big baby news arrives for the “White Lotus” star a year after the death of husband Jeff Baena, an independent filmmaker who directed Plaza in “The Little Hours.” Baena, who died at 47 in January 2025, had been separated from Plaza for a few months before his death.

JESS Impiazzi has revealed her devastating battle with lupus amid her pregnancy.

The Ex on the Beach star has opened up about the reality of having the condition as she loses her hair and suffers with skin rashes all over her body.

Lupus is an autoimmune disease that causes the body to attack its own healthy tissue.

It can lead to inflammation and even organ damage.

Opening up about her ordeal, Jess said: “These rashes were quickly appearing all over my body.

“If my joints swelling and having arthritis wasn’t bad enough, alongside other invisible symptoms, the visible ones were chipping away at my confidence.

“Then on top of all that my hair started to fall out. I’d say I lost nearly 50-60% of my hair.

“The daily stress and anxiety of everything kept my lupus active and I’ve honestly never felt so lost and I didn’t know who I was anymore.”

She added: “I was taking steroids to keep my immune system from attacking me and trying different meds to find the ones that worked for me, I’d have the odd day where I felt OK, and pushed myself to try and keep up with commitments.

“But the truth was I was in pain, I was scared and didn’t know how to carry on like this.

“I had to find a new way of living and researched everything I could on lupus, I find some really interesting people online who had got their lupus in remission so I decided to try things out.

“One of those things was getting my nervous system regulated after many years of it not being.”

The star, 36, is expecting her first child with partner Sam Bird, 39, later this year, after a fertility journey.

Jess is due to give birth to her little one in May, after revealing her baby news at the beginning of the year.

The star has been dating her partner Sam since summer of 2024 after splitting from her footballer ex boyfriend, Jermaine Pennant.

TOMMY Fury has risked pregnant Molly-Mae’s wrath after announcing a huge fight the day after her due date.

Last month, the Love Island icon, 26, thrilled fans when she announced that she and Tommy Fury, also 26, were expecting their second child together.

Tommy has now taken to Instagram to announce that he is taking on Eddie Hall on June 13 at the AO Arena Manchester.

Tickets go on sale Sunday and it will be shown live exclusively on DAZN.

The post has received over 130k likes and almost 1500 comments as fans eagerly await the outcome of the fight.

Another said: “This is wild!”

While a third said: “I’m here for this.”

However, a fan asked Molly-Mae: “Does this mean Tommy is missing the birth of your second child?”

Since revealing the couple’s big news last month, where Molly-Mae said she was already six months pregnant, she has been teasing fans with little snippets and clues about her unborn baby.

In her latest Instagram post called “bits and bobs” she shared a slew of snaps of her second pregnancy journey.

This included pics with her and Tommy’s first child, Bambi, three, plus stunning baby bump photos.

But it was the photo of her baby scan that really stood out and revealed her due date.

In the sweet snap, the scan had been flashed up on the big screen in their movie room, with Molly and Tommy’s daughter pointing to it.

But if you look closely at the photo, it gives away when the influencer’s baby will be born.

The picture revealed she was 24 weeks and 6 days pregnant when she had the scan on February 26.

This therefore means her due date is June 12 which is only one day before Tommy’s big fight.

Molly-Mae recently raised concerns when she visited Ash End House Children’s Farm with Bambi where she shared a photo of the “three days old” lambs

As she showed off some young lambs on her Instagram stories, it sparked worry as there is a risk of contracting disease from animals who’ve recently given birth.

.The Children’s Farm has a section on its website dedicated to safety and measures pregnant women can take to reduce the risk of infection.

Her farm trip comes after she revealed she’s having trouble breathing during her pregnancy and is concerned it might lead to her becoming addicted to nasal sprays.

Molly went on to admit she is not suffering from a cold or any illness but still finds herself feeling as though she cannot breathe in the morning – leading to her reaching for the sprays every day.

She said: “I don’t have a cold. I don’t feel ill but I wake up and I can’t breathe.”

But she assured fans she was feeling well within herself and her pregnancy as she nears her due date.

MOLLY-Mae Hague was left speechless after boyfriend Tommy Fury called her a “piece of a***” in front of their daughter Bambi.

The Love Island icon, 26, is currently pregnant with their second baby after the couple got back together last year.

The couple are getting ready to welcome baby number two, after their daughter Bambi, three, was born in 2023.

Molly-Mae and Tommy often keep fans up-to-date with their family life at home, since reuniting after their split.

Today they shared a hilarious moment in the boxer’s latest YouTube vlog called: “Spend a weekend with me.”

In the video the couple were seen in the car with Bambi in the backseat.

The conversation then turned to Molly saying that she “never looked worse”.

Tommy then quickly said that he “disagreed”.

“I think you look very beautiful. All of your luscious long blonde locks.” the boxer told Molly.

“And it’s very nice to have a piece as good as you in the front seat of the car.”

Molly then quickly asked; “A piece? What do you mean a piece?

To which Tommy replied with a grin: “One piece of a**!”

Molly then chuckled: “Babe, I’m your pregnant missus!”

She then added: “Terrible!”

It comes as Molly-Mae and Tommy quietly broke their baby news to family and close pals months ago, but shared a surprise video with fans in February.

The mum posted a sweet black and white clip on Instagram filmed on January 23, captioning it: “Soon to be four.”

It included Bambi who was wearing a “big sister” jumper.

Molly had previously expressed her desire to expand her family with Tommy in scenes aired on her Amazon Prime documentary in January.

Opening up about the future, she revealed: “All I want in this life is to be with him, and to have another baby with him, and to grow old as a family.

“And to live in a nice house together and have a nice life together. That’s all I want.”

Molly also dropped various clues about her pregnancy before announcing her joyous news, which is said to have strengthened her relationship with boxer Tommy.

A source told The Sun: “Finding out Molly is pregnant has really helped bring them close together again.

“Tommy is determined to do things right this time he has cancelled all of his summer trips with his friends, as he wants to stand by Molly every step of the way.

“Their new home is in a better place for both of them and has more than enough space for two children.”

The couple co-parented Bambi following their messy split in August 2024 – following reports Tommy cheated on her during a lads’ holiday.

From Love Island to a diamond ring and baby – we look at how Molly and Tommy have got to where they are today.

PREGNANT Sophie Kasaei revealed every day feels like a living nightmare as boyfriend Jordan Brook battles viral meningitis.

The Towie star, 31, has been in hospital for two weeks and has swelling on the brain after falling ill with the serious condition.

Worried Sophie, 36, was only able to see Jordan for the first time two days ago following his admission and admits she’s never felt so much fear as he goes through treatment.

Alongside loved-up photos of them together, she wrote on Instagram: “Life can come at you really fast. Literally in the blink of an eye.

“One minute you’re dreaming about your future together… and the next, you’re sitting in a hospital room, holding onto hope with everything you have.

“Watching the person I love in pain and fear, something I can’t fight for them is the hardest thing I’ve ever known. And through all this I’m carrying the tiniest piece of us, a reminder that even in the darkest moments, life is still growing, still holding on.”

Sophie continued: “I never imagined I’d feel this much fear and this much love all at once. Life really can change in the blink of an eye. Please don’t take a single moment, a single person, for granted.

“Everyday I fall in love with you more and more @jordanbrook11 this whole thing feels like I’m living in a nightmare waiting to be woke up by you next to me in bed but I’m just grateful your here and fighting for your family.

“Our little baby boy is what is keeping this family going. I love you @jordanbrook11.”

Jordan replied in the comments and vowed he would give everything to recover.

“My darling girl,” he wrote. “I can’t thank you enough for the strength to help me battle this. I will not give up on us.

“I love you more and more every single day.

“‘This too Shal pass’ – we will smile again with our special boy and family.”

The devastating diagnosis came months after the couple revealed they were expecting their first baby after two years of IVF treatment.

They were supported by friends and fans in the comments, who were moved by their situation.

Love Island‘s Shaughna Phillips said: “So beautifully written Soph, thinking of you both and wishing Jordan a super speedy recovery xxxx.”

Geordie Shore‘s Chloe Ferry left loveheart emojis, while Scarlett Moffatt said: “Sending love and strength.”

Jordan was rushed to hospital earlier this month after falling seriously ill with a mystery illness now known to be viral meningitis and encephalitis.

The conditions are potentially life threatening, causing inflammation of the brain and spinal cord lining.

In a video posted from his hospital bed, Jordan said: “This is the first time I’ve really been able to speak strong enough about what’s going on.

“I’ve been diagnosed with not one but two joining viruses that are attacking a similar part of my body. I have got viral meningitis and encephalitis together.

“That’s the inflammation of the brain and the lining around it. So this isn’t something small or minor.”

He has had CT scans, MRI lumbar scans, and lumbar punctures — the extraction of cerebrospinal fluid from the lower vertebrae — to find out what is wrong.

Jordan continued: “I’m on IV drips, everything antiviral, pain management, physio, seizure monitoring, to minimise seizure risk at the minute.”

The star added: “But unfortunately the swelling on my brain is getting worse. Really, really tough, even with the simple day-to-day activities and normal things that aren’t easy right now. 

“So this is what I’m dealing with day-today.”
