"This little heartbeat is proof that dreams do come true, no matter how long the road may be.
"Thank you to everyone who has supported us along the way. For anyone still waiting, we see you, and we're holding space for your story. With love, Jess & Tom.
"A special mention to @fertilysis whom without none of this would be real."
In October 2023, Jess and TJ got engaged in a romantic proposal in Barcelona.
Jess shot to fame on MAFS the year before.
She tied the knot with stripper PJay Finch on the E4 show, but their romance was short-lived.

Toni and Cach WIN Love Island and bag £50k as raunchiest ever series ends with shock confession and rows
Presenter Maya Jama announced the climactic end to the show's tenth year so good Toni and Cach WIN Love Island and bag £50k as raunchiest ever series ends with shock confession and rows Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LOVE Island's Toni Laites and Cach Mercer have won the summer 2025 series after a gripping live finale. In a dramatic climax after two months on-screen, host Maya Jama told the stunned couple they'll be taking home £50,000. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 8 Best pals Shakira and Toni battled it out to win Love Island with their partners Harry and Cach 8 The winning couple has been revealed 8 Shakira and Harry 8 Toni and Cach 8 Yas and Jamie were third 8 In fourth place was Angel and Ty After weeks of coupling up, dumpings, texts and triangles, the series came to a close with a battle between Toni Laites & Cach Mercer, Shakira Khan & Harry Cooksley, Angel Swift & Ty Isherwood and Yasmin Pettet & Jamie Rhodes. Angel and Ty finished in fourth place, with the smitten couple saying they couldn't wait for their relationship to start in the outside world. In third place was Yas and Jamie who gushed about their romantic connection. However, "mean girl" Helena Ford was spotted "rudely" talking to Angel in the background of Yas's interview. There was a famous divide between the girls, with Yas, Shakira and Toni being isolated from the rest of the villa. However, they finished in the top three after gaining massive support from fans. The entertaining final saw clips from yesterday of the remaining couples wake up to their last day in the villa, before the girls were sent out to buy breakfast for the boys. They then got suited and booted ready for the finalists' dinner where the stars got emotional as they all confessed their feelings. Toni broke down in tears as she told Cach how much she cares about him. The night took a turn as Maya grilled Tommy and Ben live on the show about their romances with Lucy and Andrada, respectively, ended. Maya Jama takes swipe at Love Island's Harry as he celebrates reaching the final with Shakira after Helena romance Both boys had gone exclusive with their other halves but cheated on the same night at a showbiz event - with the SAME girl. As well as some Islanders finding love, it's been the sexiest series in the show's 10-year history ever since Helena took Harry into the Hideaway just 56 hours after meeting. It led production to order in more condoms to ensure there was protection available. It's also been the least committed bunch of Islanders - with only one official couple in the final week. Meg Moore and Dejon Noel-Williams became boyfriend and girlfriend after a tumoltuous eight weeks. However, they were kicked out on Sunday night by the axed stars who returned to vote off the least compatible couple. This year has also been incredibly promiscuous for some, with Conor Phillips taking the crown for being in the most couples of any series with a total of eight girls. In another first, Toni became the first-ever American contestant in the UK series when she joined as a bombshell from Las Vegas. It was also the first finale to have so few original islanders in the final four. Everyone but Harry and Shakira joined as bombshells sporadically throughout. 8 Host Maya Jama looked incredible all dressed up for the final

Controversial Married At First Sight UK star is set to GO NAKED on raunchy TV dating show in shock career move
A controversial Married At First Sight star is set to go fully naked on a very raunchy dating TV show. Luke Worley, who was axed from the Channel 4 show after an altercation with a co-star, will bare it all on-screen as he signed up for Paramount+ show Dating Naked UK. The Tezlo founder, 32, shocked fans after making the announcement on his Instagram page, with the eagerly-anticipated steamy series to kick off on 29 August. In his latest post, Luke posed completely naked as he held a blue sphere in front of his privates, with the ironic caption: 'I probably just needed a hug….but i stripped off instead 'Dating Naked streams exclusively on @paramountplusuk from Friday 29th August, with two episodes dropping every week.' The spicy dating programme will be hosted by Rylan Clark, presenting a new challenge for Luke, who will join the naked-only villa. Singletons will get to know each other while the show won't be censoring or pixellating any of the scenes. The Essex-born entrepreneur previously shot to stardom on Married At First Sight in 2023 but was eventually kicked out due to a bust-up with co-star Jordan Gayle. 'Luke has always found it difficult to make meaningful connections. Despite his attempts and outgoing personality, he has always struggled to find love,' a show spokesperson said, Daily Star reports. The publication also claimed Luke aims for his new stint to be a fresh start after receiving significant death treats following the MAFS controversy. In a bid to vocalise for body positivity, the spokesperson added: 'Luke feels like he's already bared all when it comes to being vulnerable on TV having previously appeared on Married At First Sight, but feels strongly about representing the 'normal' men out there who don't fit the stereotypical mould of the perfect body.' Presenter Rylan, 36, defended his new show after critics branded it 'disgraceful' when it was first released on Paramount+ last year. The English host said at the time that the show is doing what it is meant to do and that's showing 'dating, but laid bare.' He said it's like 'Love Island without the bikinis' and jibed that the 'duty of care is like no other show.' The last series featured 10 singles seeking romance while naked in a tropical setting. Contestants face challenges as new arrivals join, disrupting existing relationships. Rylan said: 'It is Love Island without the bikinis, that's pretty much what it is, you see everything, there's no strategic placement of the cameras.'
