Heidi and Spencer Pratt announce exciting baby news

Aww, congratulations!

Published 12th Apr 2017

The Hills stars Heidi and Spencer Montag have announced they are expecting a baby later in the year.

The couple, who divided opinion when they appeared on Celebrity Big Brother, announced their news to US Weekly and revealed their baby is due on October 19th.

Spencer revealed the moment Heidi told him the happy news when he said, “The look on her face, I can’t even describe it. She was literally glowing. I thought she was about to say she made muffins or banana bread.”

Heidi then added, "I started crying and he embraced me."

The couple went on to add that they've wanted to extend their family for the last three years, but work commitments have delayed the process. Heidi said, "I wanted a baby three years ago. Spencer was a little hesitant. Then one thing after another came up. We had work obligations, like Celebrity Big Brother in the UK,which I did not want to be pregnant for. I’m actually really thankful we waited. I thought I was ready in my twenties, but with everything we had going on, it just wouldn’t have been a good situation for us."

Spencer then added, "Agreed. I think I’m ready. I know Heidi is ready!”

The couple first shot to fame on popular MTV reality show The Hills back in 2006 with Spencer quickly becoming the 'villian' of the show.

They then flew to the UK in 2013 to appear on Celebrity Big Brother alongside Rylan Clark-Neal, before returning to the show last year for the 'All stars Vs New Stars' series.
