Kendall's Love Island alum Claudia Fogarty, Joanna Chiamonides and Tasha Ghouri were also among the people sending congratulatory messages.
Kendall's pregnancy was a stressful time for the couple as she previously told how she was 'high risk' for having a baby early due to medical reasons.
She also explained to her 746,000 Instagram followers that she has experienced terrible morning sickness.
In a Q&A on her Story, one fan asked her how far along she was exactly and she responded: 'I'm not going to say exactly how far along I am for a couple of reasons.
'People get so fixated on the date for medical reasons because I have in the past had a few treatments and operations which can make me high risk for having a baby early.
'Fingers crossed everything is going to be alright and I can carry to full term, that's the dream. I've done four months.'
Kendall and Preston North End footballer Andrew announced they were expecting a baby boy in a sweet gender reveal video shared on his social media page
She added of her sickness in the first trimester: 'I did not know your sickness could get that bad that you just want to give up and just lay on the sofa and cry.
'The sickness - I'll actually go more in depth on my TikTok... I've heard the mum brigade is really bad on Instagram.'
Her caption read: 'I am still being sick now! But I'm taking only being sick once a day now.'
'For the first three months, sick at least five/six times a day on average, couldn't keep anything down.'
Kendall went on to reveal she and Andrew they didn't tell anyone their pregnancy news for a while and kept it as their 'little secret' before telling her sister when she reached nine weeks.
She announced the couple were expecting a baby boy in a sweet gender reveal video shared to the footballer's social media page in December 2023, two months after confirming their pregnancy.
Andrew penned: 'It's a little …BABY BOY!!!! This was the happiest, most magical moment for us so far!'
In a snap shared to Instagram at the time, Kendall looked incredible in a white bikini while cradling her bump.
Alongside the beaming picture, Kendall wrote: 'Mummy & Daddy.
'After 5 amazing years together we couldn't be happier to say WE'RE HAVING A BABY!!.'
Speaking to The Sun about baby plans a couple of years ago, Kendall said: 'Andrew is more broody than me! Yeah we'll have a baby but probably not this year - well I don't know, we will get a house first!'
Kendall made her reality show debut on the 2018 series of Love Island, but became the first contestant dumped from the island.
During the Love Island Christmas 2018 reunion, the former shoe shop worker shared a kiss with fellow contestant Eyal Booker, but the romance soon fizzled out.
A year after leaving the show, Kendall was wooed by professional footballer Andrew, a defender with Championship club Preston North End.
Going public with their romance, she shared: 'He got me. We've had the longest run at keeping us private but here I am ruining it!
'Thanks for making me the happiest I've ever felt and also irritating me for what feels like forever.. don't worry I plan on being just as annoying for the foreseeable future.'

Machine Gun Kelly drops major hint he's rekindled romance with Megan Fox as he announces baby name
Machine Gun Kelly announced the name of the baby daughter he just welcomed with Megan Fox — and dropped a hint about their relationship status. The rapper shared the reveal in an Instagram video on Tuesday, where he played a soft tune on a ukulele while his little one, mostly out of frame, listened close by. Alongside the tender moment, he dropped the name in the caption: 'Saga Blade Fox-Baker'. Nearly an hour later, he updated the caption to include a heartfelt shoutout to the Transformers star, writing: 'Saga Blade Fox-Baker — thank you for the ultimate gift, @meganfox.' His loving message to Megan opened the door to a whirlwind of speculation that the pair of them might have rekindled their relationship. The couple quietly welcomed their daughter back in March. Alongside the tender moment, he dropped the name in the caption: 'Saga Blade Fox-Baker' Nearly two hours later, he updated the caption to include a heartfelt shoutout to the Transformers star, writing: 'Saga Blade Fox-Baker — thank you for the ultimate gift, @meganfox' It's MGK's first child with Megan, who is already mom to three sons from a previous relationship. The name news also comes shortly after MGK mentioned at the 2025 American Music Awards that his daughter hadn't been feeling well — making this intimate update all the more heartfelt. 'She has a little bit of a fever, so I'm gonna walk the carpet, tell all my fans I appreciate them, and I'm gonna head back and let my pheromones try and heal her,' he offered. The health update comes after 39-year-old Megan shared with her Instagram followers that her latest pregnancy was unplanned. The actress shared a video from Instagram fan account @ which showed her in a plaid mini skirt and cropped blue cardigan. The snippets were from her guest role in the Prime TV series Overcompensating. She spilled that she was pregnant in the scene, writing, '38 years old. six weeks pregnant (unplanned but a happy surprise).' 'Please stop listening to the patriarchy,' she urged her 21.5 million followers. 'Women are eternal light beings. We do not have an expiration date. Don't let them rob you of your power.' The former couple announced the birth of their first child together in a sweet post, captioned: 'She's finally here!! our little celestial seed.' The proud dad went on to reveal that he 'composed the score' of his little girl's birth with Travis Barker, Big Slim, Truck Norris, No Love for the Middle Child and Shaan Singh. Although he did not reveal the baby's name at the time, Kelly detailed that she was 'born into 432 HZ' and that her arrival was 'an epic journey.' The couple quietly welcomed their daughter back in March 'Praise God,' he declared on his Instagram Story. The actress already shares three sons Noah, 12, Bodhi, 11, and Journey, 8, with ex-husband Brian Austin Green. Meanwhile, Kelly, welcomed his only other child, Casie, with Emma Cannon in July 2009. The birth announcement came just hours after Kelly blasted Green in a shock direct message on Instagram. Fox and Kelly, 34, split in November after she reportedly discovered he was speaking to other women behind her back. Machine's direct Instagram message to Brian said: 'Stop asking when our child is gonna be born. you the FEDS,' adding a rat emoji and a police officer emoji. 'Quit calling TMZ and focus on that apology you owe me for speaking on my name in public, Machine continued. 'You chose the wrong one to f*** with mr child actor. Go back to cereal commercials.' Brian publicly shared the message on his Instagram stories - along with his thoughts, writing: 'I didn't know "child actor" was something bad. Leo, careful. He may be coming for you next.' Brian was referring to Leo as in Leonardo DiCaprio, who is also a former child star. Megan and Brian were married from 2010 until 2021. He has since moved on with Sharna Burgess; they share a son together named Zane, born in June 2022. In December, Brian expressed regret that Megan is navigating her latest pregnancy while dealing with the fallout from her break-up. He was asked about his thoughts on her split from Machine, telling TMZ: 'I didn't even know.' The cameraperson then proceeded to tell him about the text messages Megan reportedly found in November that led to her calling it quits with Machine. Adding: 'How old is he? ... He's in his 30s, isn't he? ... But in your 30s, like, f**k. Grow up. Like, she's pregnant.' 'I just want the best for her. I want the best for the baby. I want the best for our kids. That's a shame,' he said to TMZ. 'I'm heartbroken about it because I know she's been so excited. And the kids are so excited for life and the change and all of that.' Brian called the situation 'tragic' and noted that he does not know 'the facts.' Megan pulled the plug on her relationship with Machine over Thanksgiving - after reportedly discovering he was speaking to other women behind her back. They split after Megan 'found material on MGK's phone that was upsetting, and it made her want him to leave the trip early,' the source said. Kelly, born Colson Baker, left the trip earlier and they have not seen each other since. An insider recently claimed that Megan wanted to just 'focus' on her pregnancy. The insider told People: 'They tried to make things work for many years. It was exhausting for Megan. 'She's done with him now. She just wants to focus on the baby and her boys now.' She posted a picture of her with her pregnant belly and a snap of her positive pregnancy test - to one of Machine Gun Kelly's songs in the pregnancy reveal, which she shared on November 11. Fox and Kelly previously suffered a miscarriage. Megan captioned the post: 'Nothing is ever really lost. Welcome back,' adding a heart emoji. Megan and MGK started dating in 2020 after she split from Brian following 10 years of marriage. They got engaged in January 2022 with the couple briefly splitting in February 2023 but working things through and getting back together - but not getting engaged again. Megan previously revealed she believes she manifested the rapper turned rocker into the person he is, adding that she manifested him when she was four years old. 'He's literally my exact type that I've been manifesting since I was four. I'm also four years older than him. So, I think I made him.' Adding: 'My thoughts and intentions grew him into the person that he is, who knows what he would've looked like or been like if it wasn't for me.' The couple met on the film project Midnight In The Switchgrass in March 2020.

Jurassic World star Luna Blaise puts on a very racy display in a sheer skintight dress at the world premiere of the new movie in London
Actress Luna Blaise commanded attention on Tuesday as she stepped onto the red carpet at the Jurassic World: Rebirth world premiere in London. The star, 23, who stars as Teresa Delgado in the upcoming blockbuster, turned heads in a skintight midi dress that flaunted her sensational curves. Her daring look featured a plunging neckline and was adorned with pearlescent scales, giving a nod to the film's prehistoric theme. She elevated the ensemble with gold heels and matching hoop earrings as she pulled her raven tresses into a sleek updo. Luna appeared in high spirits as she posed confidently for the cameras before heading into the star-studded event. The new science fiction action film, which comes on the heels of Jurassic World Dominion (2022), is the seventh film in the Jurassic Park franchise and stars a whole new ensemble cast, with Scarlett Johansson in the lead role. On a top-secret mission, the characters fight for their lives in a battle against much larger and dangerous foes. The movie is set half a decade after the 2022 Jurassic World Dominion movie, which starred Bryce Dallas Howard alongside Chris Pratt, Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum and Sam Neill among many more in the all-star cast. The synopsis of the movie reads: 'Five years after the events of Jurassic World Dominion, the planet's ecology has proven largely inhospitable to dinosaurs. 'Those remaining exist in isolated equatorial environments with climates resembling the one in which they once thrived,' the summary continues. Steven Spielberg is back as executive producer on the project, which is a joint-venture production between Amblin Entertainment and Universal. Principal photography began in mid-June in Thailand and went on for about a month until the production moved to Kalkara in the island country of Malta in the Mediterranean Sea, located in Southern Europe for another month. From there, the shoot went to Sky Studios Elstree in London, England in August for another round before moving on in late September to New York City Jurassic World Rebirth is scheduled to hit theaters in the UK and US on July 2, 2025. Luna appeared in high spirits as she posed confidently for the cameras before heading into the star-studded event Luna has been working as an actress in Hollywood for many years already. She is best known for her role as Olive Stone in the NBC/Netflix sci fi drama series Manifest. And she was also in Nicole Ellis in ABCs Fresh Off The Boat. The star began acting at the age of six with a cameo appearance in the 2008 film Vicious Circle. In 2013, she was seen as a Young Nina in the indie art film, Memoria. The movie was executive produced by James Franco who also had a role in the project. In 2014, Luna was cast in the recurring role of Nicole on the ABC television series Fresh Off the Boat starring Randall Park and Constance Wu as Louis and Jessica Huang. She was 13 when the series started filming, and it was her first major role. In early 2017, she released her first single, 'Over You', and announced in December 2017 she would be releasing new music in the new year. The following year she was cast as Olive Stone in the NBC drama/mystery series Manifest which became a monster hit on Netflix.

EXCLUSIVE Meghan and Harry broke people I know. Some former employees say they have PTSD. After her incendiary 'lie' claim, why Meghan's truth is far from THE truth about what happened at the Palace: REBECCA ENGLISH
'There's their truth. And then there's the truth,' a royal insider once told me. And I'm not sure it's the kind of 'truth' that Meghan Sussex (as she now prefers to be known) has alluded to in her latest publicity blitz. In an interview with entrepreneur and Dragons' Den judge Emma Grede yesterday – neatly timed to drop just three days before her new As Ever product launch – the Duchess of Sussex once again took a veiled swipe at the .
