The announcement may come as a surprise to E4 fans after the pair admitted to having a tough time in their relationship.
Just weeks ago, Maeva was left in tears over their marriage.
The couple joined Tristan Phipps and his girlfriend Julia Pollard for a double date, but Maeve broke down in tears as they discussed their relationship, saying they were 's**t at the moment.'

James later admitted to Tristan that they were in the "lowest place they'd ever been".
He confessed that Maeva was close to walking out on him and leaving the family home.
In a bid get their relationship back on track, the pair headed off on a romantic trip together to reconnect.
On a recent episode, James told his pals that he and Maeva were back on track - saying Maeva was was "back in love with him".

The couple welcomed their first child in November 2022.
Shortly after giving birth, she posted a sweet photo of the newborn and wrote: "Welcoming the last 9 months and 11 days into our lives this morning was everything and more than we could have ever hoped for.
"I'm so happy I've now met you my little roast. James is going to be the best daddy ever.
"Being induced on Sunday and trying to achieve a virginal birth from the outset wasn't meant to be. We both decided along with the amazing doctors at the Rosie that a C section was the safest option to bring our boy to us.

"On Wednesday morning 30/11/2022. Beau Christian Taylor joined our growing family (9lbs 9oz!)"
Maeva joined Made In Chelsea as Miles Nazaire's girlfriend in 2019, but then moved on with his best pal James which caused a huge rift.
James and Maeva tied the knot in November 2023 and had a second ceremony at Hedsor House in Buckinghamshire the following monht - spending £10,000 on the cake alone.
Having already tied the knot at Chelsea Town Hall, the couple invited 76 guests - including their MIC co-stars Ruby Adler, Tristan Phipps and Sam Prince - to celebrate with them.

The 100-acre Georgian venue was decorated with five stunning Christmas trees, candles, white roses and fairy lights.
And their son Beau was the star of the show, as he drove down the aisle in a white remote control car.
Maeva wore two different wedding dresses during the day, both rented from PS. Bridal Rental - a semi-sheer Liz Martinez number for the ceremony, and a strapless, corset dress by Alon Livne for the evening.
She also wore two different outfits during the day at their first wedding, which saw them go from Chelsea Town Hall to a wedding breakfast at Claridge's, followed by a suite at the Ritz.

Speaking about their second wedding day, James told Hello!: 'I know we did the legal bit the month before, but this was our moment. It had gravitas, which is exactly what we wanted.'
James popped the question in a romantic proposal at the Trevi fountain in Rome.

Chappell Roan's 'actually normal' bikini body revealed: see what the star looks like stripped down
Chappell Roan took to Instagram on Sunday night to share scantily clad photos with her 7.1 million followers. The 27-year-old pop star — who was recently mistaken for Anna Delvey — posed in a black bikini, showing off her stunning figure. One snapshot showed The Giver hitmaker giving fans an eyeful as she posed with her plump bottom on display in high-cut tie-string bikini bottoms. She captioned the carousel post, 'I am actually normal.' But Roan, born Kayleigh Rose Amstutz, looked anything but ordinary as she showed off her striking beauty. Chappell looked typically gorgeous with her flaming-red curly locks falling around her. The images have so far collected 1.3 million likes from the singer's devoted online audience. It comes after earlier this year the entertainer ignited a generational divide when she said in an interview: 'I don't know a single person who is happy and has children at this age.' Recognized for her drag aesthetic and punchy feminist lyrics, Chappell identifies as a lesbian. While appearing on Alex Cooper's Call Her Daddy podcast, she was asked by the host if she would ever have children. She answered unequivocally: 'All of my friends who have kids are in hell. I don't know anyone who's happy and has children at this age.' The star reiterated, 'I have not met anyone who is happy, anyone who has light in their eyes, anyone who has slept [who has a child under five].' The remarks prompted a fiery debate online. Some moms insisted it 'was not an accurate or healthy message to peddle, particularly when the birth rate is down.' One person wrote: 'Chappell Roan going on Call Her Daddy saying none of her friends with kids are happy, is a prime example of why you cannot just vent to anyone.' Someone else wished, 'May the friendship of narcissistic childless women with no sense of loyalty ever find me.' Meanwhile, others related to Chappell's statements, with one person weighing in: 'The people who have made me most scared to become a mother are mothers. 'What Chappell said is all I see because lots of mothers I see are like, "This is miserable" and mothers can also be the most competitive, nasty and judgmental people.'

Renée Victor, the voice of no-nonsense Abuelita in 'Coco,' dies at 86
Renée Victor, who voiced the no-nonsense, sandal-throwing Abuelita in Disney's animated hit "Coco" and played the wisecracking Lupita on Showtime's "Weeds," has died. She was 86. Victor's death was confirmed Monday by a representative, Julie Smith, who said the actor had lymphoma for several years. She died Friday at her home in Sherman Oaks, California, Smith said, with family by her side. A post on the Instagram feed of Pixar, which produced "Coco," said: "We are heartbroken to hear of the passing of Renée Victor, the voice [of] Abuelita in 'Coco' and an incredible part of the Pixar family. We will always remember you." Victor appeared in 22 episodes of "Weeds" as sassy housekeeper Lupita between 2005 and 2012, among many other TV credits including "ER," "Matlock" and "The Addams Family." But she was perhaps best known for what she called the chancla-throwing grandmother in "Coco," the 2017 family-friendly movie that explored death through the journey of a young Mexican boy to the land of the dead. "I play the part of 'Abuelita,' the chancla throwing grandma that preaches 'No Music!'" she wrote on Instagram, looking back several years ago. "Enjoy 'Coco' with your family this Dia de los Muertos and forever more!" She also looked back at "The Apostle," the 1997 movie that Robert Duvall wrote, directed and starred in. "He took a chance on me with this film," Victor wrote on Instagram. "This is where I got my nickname 'one take Renée,'" she said, adding laughter emojis. "I had a small role but what a great one! Can somebody give me an amen?!" Born in San Antonio, Texas, on July 25, 1938, Victor began her performing career as a singer and dancer. She moved to Los Angeles in the 1960s, according to biography material provided by her representatives, where she launched her career singing with prominent big band leaders Xavier Cugat and Pérez Prado. She also taught Latin dancing, including salsa and the tango. She met her future husband, Ray, during that period, and from 1963 to 1973, they performed together as "Ray & Renée," a variety show that took them around the world — including Australia, where "they enjoyed particular fame," the materials said. In the 1970s, Victor hosted the "Pacesetters" public affairs show on KTLA, her representatives said, and by the '80s had moved into TV and film work. Her film credits, other than "The Apostle," included the 2014 horror film "Paranormal Activity 5: The Marked Ones," "The Doctor" with William Hurt (1991), and "A Night in Old Mexico" (2013), also with Duvall. In 2004, she had a recurring role as Florina Lopez on TV's "ER," and the following year was cast in "Weeds." Other series credits included "Snowpiercer" (2020-2021), "Mayans M.C." (2022), "Dead to Me" (2020-2022), and Amazon's "With Love" (2021-2023). Victor is survived by her daughters, Raquel and Margo Victor, Smith said.
