Rachel Stevens' ex-husband's new wife is expecting their first child together
Rachel Stevens' ex-husband is expecting his first baby with his new wife. The new addition to Alex's family comes three years after he and the S Club 7 singer split.
The couple split in 2022 just one month before they would have been celebrating their 13th wedding anniversary. She said that while they were no longer "partners in marriage," they would remain "partners in parenthood" to co-parent their two daughters, Amelie, 12, and Minnie, nine.
But now, just months after marrying, Alex and his new wife, Lily, have revealed they're expecting. Taking to Instagram in a joint post, art dealer Lily showcased her blossoming baby bump as she and Alex enjoyed the sun at Columbia Road Flower Market over the weekend.
Wearing a fitted grey T-shirt, her bump proudly stood out as she carried a bouquet of flowers. "A new chapter... & Spring days," the upload was captioned. The upload was soon flooded with celebratory messages.
One follower said: "The best news. Thrilled for you both." A second added: "This is incredible!! So happy for you!!" Meanwhile a third went on to write: "My heart is so full for you both! What a beautiful blessing, can't wait to see all the love this little one brings into your lives."
"Congratulations this is such lovely news," gushed another. Alex and Lily were married at Lime Kiln Lodges in East Sussex in February, with their nearest and dearest joining them for the special day.

Chrisley family to hold first press conference since Trump's presidential pardon
The Chrisley family is set to address reporters on Friday, days after the formerly jailed reality TV stars Todd and Julie Chrisley were pardoned by President Donald Trump and released from federal prison. The family will be holding a press conference at 10:30 a.m. CT, 11:30 a.m. ET, at the Kimpton Aertson Hotel in Nashville, Tennessee, flanked by their attorneys. It is unclear if Todd and Julie Chrisley will be present. Trump issued pardons to the Chrisleys on Wednesday. The pair, known for their roles on reality TV show 'Chrisley Knows Best,' were convicted in 2022 of tax evasion and defrauding banks to obtain personal loans worth more than $36 million and fund a lavish lifestyle. Prosecutors said that the Chrisleys submitted false bank statements, audit reports and personal financial statements to Georgia community banks to obtain the loans. They were found guilty by an Atlanta jury in 2022 and convicted of fraud, tax evasion and conspiracy to defraud the United States. Todd Chrisley was sentenced to 12 years in federal prison and Julie Chrisley was sentenced to seven years. Their daughter, Savannah Chrisley, was pivotal in getting her parents released. The 27-year-old spoke at the Republican National Convention in July and began petitioning Trump to pardon her parents before the president was inaugurated, according to the Chrisleys' attorney, Alex Little. Little told NBC News on Wednesday that the family did not try to petition the Biden administration for the couple's release. Julie Chrisley made her first public outing on Thursday, to a butcher shop in Nashville, Tennessee. The 52-year-old was sporting her natural hair color, gray. Later that day, Savannah Chrisley also posted selfies with her father on Instagram and captioned the images: "To the paparazzi following us looking to pay your bills… here's your photo." The Chrisleys' pardons were among several presidential clemencies to raise eyebrows in recent months. Former President Joe Biden issued a pardon for his son Hunter Biden on federal gun and tax charges in December, and pre-emptive pardons for other members of his family before leaving office. Within his first days of his second term, Trump pardoned roughly 1,500 criminal defendants in connection with the violent attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. And on Monday, Trump announced he was pardoning Scott Jenkins, a former sheriff of Culpeper County, Virginia. The former sheriff was sentenced to 10 years in prison last year for accepting over $75,000 in exchange for giving law enforcement authority to local businessmen, in addition to two undercover FBI agents. The Chrisleys' former accountant, who was found guilty in 2022 of defrauding the Internal Revenue Service, told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution on Wednesday that he also plans to petition the Trump administration for a pardon. The accountant, Peter Tarantino, served three years in prison for the crimes. Chase Chrisley, one of the convicted couple's sons, did not rule out whether his parents would return to reality TV in an interview with "Entertainment Tonight" on Thursday. He cautioned that "there's no deal in place for my parents." Chase added that cameras were rolling when he and his siblings first spoke with their parents by telephone after their pardons were announced. 'You guys will see it. And it's just been raw reality and truth of, like, the struggles that we've been going through as a family, as individuals and how to navigate that while still staying together and holding our family together,' he said. It is unclear if the reality stars will be filming the press conference on Friday.

Model Samantha Harris flaunts her baby bump for the first time since announcing her pregnancy with husband Luke Hunt
Samantha Harris has shown off her baby bump for the first time since announcing her pregnancy with husband-of-eleven-years Luke Hunt over the weekend. The happy couple revealed on Sunday they are expecting their first baby together, sharing the exciting news to Instagram. Now the model, 34, has taken to her socials again to flaunt her growing bump as she shared a mirror selfie to her Stories. In the picture, the brunette beauty looked every inch the glowing mother-to-be as she slipped into a colourful maxi dress from Camilla. Tagging the designer clothing brand, Samantha added a white love heart to her caption, opting for a completely bare-faced look in the image. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Samantha announced her pregnancy on Sunday when she shared a picture of an ultrasound with her followers, revealing she is expecting her first child. 'Life Lately,' she captioned the post, while tagging her husband Luke. The post did not reveal the gender nor when the baby is due. Samantha's hubby left a comment in response to her caption, writing: 'And the rest of our lives to come.' That model made headlines in 2014 when she famously stuck by her beau's side after he was sentenced to four years in prison. Luke served two years behind bars for the death of a grandfather following a fatal car crash in 2012. Samantha secretly married Luke in 2014, two months before he began serving his prison sentence for his involvement in the crash which caused the death of 78-year-old grandfather Kenneth Lay. News the couple had married wasn't revealed until April 2016, after her husband finished serving his prison term. The former Dancing With The Stars contestant has been modelling since she was 13 years of age after winning the Girlfriend Magazine Covergirl competition. However, despite her success, Samantha has admitted in the past she lacked mentors and opportunities during her childhood. The 6ft model, who hails from Tweed Heads, told The Daily Telegraph: 'When I was growing up, support and education for Aboriginal kids was limited and for my mother before me it was even more so. 'This is why I have made it my goal to commit as much time and effort to changing this for future generations,' she added.
