Lovely news for the Love Island star! ❤️

Author: Georgie HollandPublished 28th Dec 2023

Love Island 2015 winner Jessica Hayes has announced the delightful news that she is expecting a baby! Describing the news as taking her into 2024 with the 'best gift ever', the Love Island OG shared a heartwarming post, revealing that she is pregnant with her second child.

Taking to Instagram to share the wonderful news, Jess posted a clip of an ultrasound print resting on the Christmas tree, followed by her four-year-old son Presley kissing her stomach. She captioned the post: 'Going into 2024 with the best gift ever ❤️ I think you all probably know what this means to me and how much I adore being a mum 🥰

'Truly blessed 🌈🤍 Excited for our future and to watch my darlings grow up together 🤍'. (sic)

Friends, family and fans flooded the comments with messages of love and congratulations for Jess and her partner Zeb, with one writing: 'Proud of you, congratulations darling ❤️❤️❤️' (sic), and another adding: 'You deserve this so much ♥️'.

Jess then took to her Story to write: 'You guys are everything thanks for all your messages and comments you know who you are ❤️ Can't believe I get to share this beautiful journey again with you all ❤️🥰🥹', (sic)

The news comes after Jessica sadly suffered a devastating miscarriage earlier this year, following previously suffering a miscarriage in 2020 when she lost her unborn son Teddy at 19 weeks.

The TV star previously opened up about her tragic loss, saying: "It's not really just losing a pregnancy, it's the plans you make, your vision of what that baby or child might of been like, what your family will look like and it gets taken away in a second."

Jessica found fame back in 2015 when she appeared on first revived season of ITV2's Love Island. Entering the villa on Day One, Jess provided us with plenty of drama, which saw her go on to win the show alongside Max Morley.

Although things didn't last long for the pair in the real world - seeing them split not long after touching back down in the UK - both have gone on to welcome children into their lives, with Jess giving birth to her first son Presley in 2019, and Max announcing the birth of his son in 2021.

Congratulations to Jess and Zeb! ❤️
