There's baby news in SW1, as Made In Chelsea star Maeva D'Ascanio has announced she is pregnant with her second child!
Maeva, who already shares a son with her husband James Taylor, shared the sweet news on Instagram last night with a video of her showing off her bump. In the video, she shows the scan to her son Beau, while he kisses her stomach.
In the post, Maeva revealed they were expecting a girl. She wrote in the caption: 'We can't wait to meet you pretty little girl @jamestaylorldn.'
Naturally, Maeva's Made In Chelsea co-stars were quick to share their congratulations in the comments. Inga Valentiner wrote 'congratulations!', and Sam Prince, Yasmine Zweegers and Reza Amiri-Garroussi all shared their well wishes.
Maeva joined Made In Chelsea back in 2019, by surprising her ex Miles Nazaire. She's had her fair share of drama on the show, before finding love with her current husband and co-star James. In an interview with Hello, Maeva spoke about their engagement. 'I feel protected - being engaged to the man of my dreams is amazing. It's a different love, it's stronger, it's deeper. I feel safe,' she said.
Maeva gave birth to Beau in November 2022. In their announcement interview with Hello, James discussed how he felt about becoming a new parent. 'We are more excited every day. My dad told me that when he had his first child, he never thought he could love something so much. And I'm starting to get an inkling of that feeling as this baby growing in Maeva's tummy is pretty special,' he said.
Maeva also discussed motherhood in an interview with Grazia last year. Being a full-time mother is Maeva’s ‘favourite job’, and she said, continuing: ‘I have to say that my child is absolutely amazing, obviously he's my child,’ she says. But the ‘terrible twos’ are approaching, and Beau is ‘very, very active, and I would say that he's not an easy baby, so it's a lot for me. It's constant. It's a lot of energy 24/7. He's very alert, he gets everything, understands everything. But he's quite hyperactive, I have to say, so it's very intense all the time. That's what's good about him as well.’
However, it hasn't all been plain sailing for the couple. In recent episodes of Made In Chelsea, which were filmed earlier this year, admitted Tristan Phipps that the couple were in the 'lowest place they'd ever been'. Meanwhile, at dinner with Tristan and his girlfriend Julia Pollard, Maeve broke down in tears while talking about their relationship, saying they were 's**t at the moment.'
However, the pair reconnected on a trip away shortly after. In later scenes, James told his friends that the couple were getting to a good place again, and that Maeve was 'back in love with him'.
