Whilst 2022 proved extremely eventful for Ferne McCann with an engagement in July and ‘the voicenote scandal’, 2023 seemingly has the potential to be even more hectic after a source revealed to The Sun that the former TOWIE star is pregnant with her second child.
Confirming fan speculation that Ferne – who welcomed her daughter Sunday, five, in November 2017 – was pregnant, the insider admitted, ‘Ferne is over the moon. From the moment she met Lorri she knew she wanted to marry him and have his kids.
‘They’re both ready to commit and are looking forward to their future together.’
Ferne and Lorri Haines started dating in 2021 after the Dubai-based businessman slid into her DMs when she jetted to the country for a holiday with daughter Sunday and pal Danielle Armstrong.
After a whirlwind romance, Ferne revealed that Lorri had popped the question whilst the couple were on a romantic trip to Paris in July 2022 sharing a sweet post to Instagram with the caption, ‘So happily ever afters so exist. I cannot wait to do forever with you baby.’
For his part, Lorri simply wrote, ‘She said yesss’ but just days before indicated his intentions to his followers with a gushing tribute to his future wife saying, ‘Let me say from the bottom of my heart. When you finally meet that particular person, it does make you realise what life’s all about; for me, it was that piece of the puzzle I was always searching for.
'But let me be straight with you; it only comes when you are ready; YOU HAVE TO BE READY. What Ferne and I have is unique; together, we have a journey ahead of us we are so excited about as a family unit, and every day I wake up smiling to myself because I’ve made it. I’ve found happiness; all the years of hard work, self-studying and therapy, the universe has rewarded me 🙏’
Now, the couple are expecting their first child together, although it is not known how far along Ferne’s pregnancy is.
Both Lorri and Ferne have children from previous relationships but whilst Lorri prefers to keep his son out of the spotlight, Sunday – whose dad is convicted acid attacker Arthur Collins who dated Ferne back in 2016 – regularly features on Ferne’s ITV show First Time Mum.
