Love Island 2016 star Cara de la Hoyde revealed she was pregnant with her ex-boyfriend Nathan Massey back in May this year and now the reality star has confirmed she is expecting a baby boy!

Talking to OK! Magazine, Cara said, "Obviously the main thing we wanted was for them to be healthy, but we were leaning towards wanting a boy, so we were so excited. We both just looked at each other and were like, 'Oh my God, it's a boy!'.

She then added, "I'm not very girlie so I'd rather have a little boy who'll get all muddy than a little prince."

Lovely news!

Cara revealed she was pregnant back in May, just two weeks after announcing her split with fellow Love Island star Nathan.

Speaking at the time, a rep for Cara said, "Now Cara has revealed she is expecting her first child and discovered the news just two weeks before the couple went their separate ways."

Speaking to OK! Magazine, Cara said, “It’s a shame and a sad situation. I know a lot of people will think, well you’re going to have a baby together so just stay together – but we’re not going to do that just to look like the perfect couple.

Despite confirming their split in April, both Nathan and Cara have remained very good friends, with both reality stars sharing cute snaps with each other on their Instagram accounts.

Cara also shared a snap from her and Nathan's time in the Love Island villa last year when the pair were forced to look after a fake baby.

Sharing a photo of the pair looking exhausted, Cara wrote, 'This is an actual future picture of me @nathanmassey_ in a years time 😂😂'.

Last month Cara shared the first photo of her little one in the form of a baby scan. Adding the caption, 'Seeing this is literally magical I can't explain it ✨', fans were quick to congratulate the star.

Cara and Nathan's little boy is expected to arrive later in the year.

Whilst we wait for the second Love Island baby to arrive, check out what the couples from this year's series have been up to since the final.

Kem Cetinay and Amber Davies

The current Love Island champions dodged a number of issues during their time on the show but now they are out in the real world, the pair seem totally loved up!


Attending a number of appearances together, including a pool party in Mallorca last weekend, Kem and Amber often share snaps of each other to their Instagram pages.


The pair wasted no time in meeting each other's family and friends when they left the villa, Kem shared a cute snap of Amber and his mum with the caption, 'The two most important women in my life'.

Despite the 2017 winners looking loved up, Kem was forced to defend his romance last weekend when his 'friends' said he would break Amber's heart.

One of Kem's friends reportedly said, "It all looks like the modern day fairy tale from the outside, but there is already trouble in paradise. And knowing Kem, it will only be a matter of time before it all goes wrong."


They look loved up enough to us!

Chris Hughes and Olivia Attwood

Ahh Chris and Olivia, they were on and off more than the garden light bulbs during their time in the villa, but it did look like their romance was going well on the outside world.


Attending appearances together and even taking their fake baby Cash Hughes on nights out with them, the pair shared snaps declaring their love for each other.

That was until new rumours this week that the pair had split after Olivia was caught 'getting close' with another man!


According to reports Chris had dumped Olivia after she joined Blackburn Rovers footballer Bradley Deck at a nightclub on Sunday night.


A source close to Chris reportedly told a national newspaper, "Chris has told his close friends it's all over. He's furious and heartbroken to see her all over someone else."

Chris and Olivia have both now slammed the rumours, with Chris supporting his girl at a recent event.

Marcel Sommerville and Gabby Allen

Despite many viewers having doubts about Gabby's real feelings towards Marcel, it seems the couple have been going from strength the strength since leaving the villa.

Since leaving the villa and returning back to England, Jamie has visited Camilla's home and met her family, with Cam also spending time with Jamie's close family and friends.

The pair then delighted their fans once more when Camilla shared a snap of them travelling to a refugee camp, something that is very close to Camilla's heart.


Captioning the shot with, 'We are on our way! Thank you so much to everyone who has supported us so far - we will keep you all posted on how we get on.'

Alex Beattie and Montana Brown

From the moment they left the villa, Alex and Montana were faced with numerous rumours that they'd not continued their romance outside of the show.


Unlike the other couples, the pair haven't been spotted attending events together and have kept loved up snaps of each other to a complete minimum in the last week.

And as Montana prepares to become clothing brand Pretty Little Things' brand new ambassador, Alex has signed a modelling deal with Boohoo Men, leaving the pair with very little time on their hands for a romance.


Montana has now confirmed her split with Alex after admitting it has been 'hard' on the outside world. Despite the split, the pair have remained friends.

Will we be seeing any other Love Island babies in the near future? 👶
