Former Made In Chelsea star Ryan Libbey has dropped a huge hint that his fiancé Louise Thompson has given birth to their first child.

The couple have recently taken a break from Instagram to enjoy the final moments of pregnancy, but eagled eyed fans have spotted a hint that they have welcomed their little one.

Fans have noticed that Ryan has updated his Instagram bio to read: 'Coach', 'Athlete' and 'Daddy'. He previously had 'Daddy To Be' in his bio.

Neither Ryan or Louise have been active on social media since November as they both wanted to take some time out to "focus on what's important".

In her last post on Instagram, Louise said: 'Thanks for all ur messages checking in. 🕊

'No baby yet, but a lot going on. We have a lot on our plates and it’s important to connect with ourselves. Gonna take a few days to draw, cook, clean, iron, hug, walk, think, write, listen to music, maybe have a little dance. Ryan’s been getting creative and illustrating, he’s got the right idea💡.'

She added: 'My hormones + mood swings are pretty all over the place too so it’s nice to have a bit of a break from social media 📱✋🏼🪞, so we can focus on what’s important.'

The couple, who experienced a devastating miscarriage earlier this year, announced that they were pregnant in May. Sharing a snap of herself and Ryan holding the scan, Louise wrote a lengthy post about her feelings in the recent weeks.

She told fans: '🌈 Counting our blessings 🌈

'I thought I’d have all sorts of creative ways to deliver this information but the truth is the last 12 weeks have been quite challenging. Unlike last time, Ryan and I haven’t documented our journey at all. I’ve hardly taken any pictures or videos for fear that something might happen. I’ve also felt like ASS. I never knew that fatigue or ‘flatness’ like this existed in pregnancy. There are 0 before and after snaps, no week to week transformations or fun reveal videos with friends and family leading a trail of buns to an oven, instead there is a drawer filled with 10000000x billion gazillion pregnancy tests (shameless and expensive) and some sensitive conversations where we try not to get too excited. I’d be lying if I said it’s been an easy ride but the truth is I think poor Ryan has found it even harder than I have.

'I’m definitely lucky to have such a sensitive partner and I feel safe in the knowledge that you are going to be the best dad in the world.'

Louise continued: 'Now we’ve reached this hopeful milestone 😊😊😊 i am really pleased to be able to share our lovely news with you all 🗞. I want to try to relax a smidge and to be able to enjoy the journey as I’m informed it will be over in a flash. The truth is I might have waited a little longer to share but I don’t think I could have hidden the news for much longer because there is absolutely ZERO room left in this 5ft short torso for a growing bump except to push MASSIVELY outwards which means it’s becoming very hard to hide... I’ve already received a few comments. I already resemble a wide load vehicle (Ryan’s words not mine and incidentally exactly the kind of humour I need to get me through the next 6 months).

'Now that it’s out in the open I’d love to be able to ask for your advice when I need it as there are so many things happening to my body that NO ONE TALKS ABOUT 🤣🤣.

'Hormones are a thing of absolute madness and pregnancy coupled with ulcerative colitis has been a major killjoy and particularly anxiety inducing. Who’s experienced it? I’ve always been a firm believer that women are superhuman for what they put up with and now I have even more reason to stand by that. L&R ❤️.'

Personal trainer Ryan also shared a number of cute photos, simply telling fans: 'I’m going to be a dad'. (sic)

They later revealed that they were expecting a baby boy, sharing an adorable video from their gender reveal.

Opening up about her body changes throughout pregnancy, Louise admitted she "didn’t recognise herself”.

She said: "I look a lot older and more feminine and curvy, but Ryan loves it. He says it’s a big achievement and I should just enjoy it.”
