And now Alicia Oates, who now lives in Dubai, has revealed the very exciting news that she's expecting a baby.
The Bachelor star revealed the exciting news on social media in April, writing: '13 weeks of loving you - Forever to go….. Baby France Due October 2025. Another beautiful baby to love and add to our crazy family.
She continued: 'Whatever you are - We can't wait to meet you, you are so loved already. I feel like I've been waiting for you for a lifetime. Our beautiful baby.'
Alicia is engaged to the man she's expecting her baby with, and shared that news with fans in March.
She wrote at the time: 'Actually have no words for this man.
'So grateful for you and the effort you have put in to making our proposal the best day of my life. My 32nd birthday will be a day I remember for the rest of my life.
'A million times yes - I couldn't imagine life without you ever my best friend and soul mate. Wow this year is going to be insane for us . I LOVE YOU.'
Alicia has shared several photos of herself with her baby bump in Dubai.
In one she poses in front of the Jumeirah Burj Al Arab in a stunning red dress, and in another she can be seen in a white top and shorts.
The brunette beauty also shared a photo with her fiance, and looked totally smitten as they enjoyed their romantic proposal evening.
He'd laid on a red carpet on the beach, and a huge heart made out of roses could be seen in the background with 'will you marry me' in neon in the middle.
During her time on the Channel 5 programme, which was hosted by Mark Wright, Alicia beat off competition from 16 other single women to win Alex's heart.
At the time viewers were surprised by his choice, but the couple insisted they had genuine chemistry.
Alex said: 'We might be total opposites, which is what my head was saying, but my gut and heart were saying Alicia.
'We had an undeniable chemistry and everything I learnt about her I loved. She just makes me smile.'
He even claimed they had spoken about wedding plans, saying Mark Wright would be a big part of the day.
Just two months after the show ended the couple called it quits, but it looks like Alicia has found her happy ever after.

Neighbours and Coronation Street legends unite for new 'twisted' drama
Neighbours icon Jackie Woodburne is set to join forces with Coronation Street royalty Kym Marsh in a new Channel 5 drama. The prospect of not having Ramsay Street favourite and acting powerhouse Jackie on our screens isn't worth thinking about – and thankfully we don't have to as the Susan Kennedy star is already preparing for her new role just weeks after wrapping production on the Aussie soap for the second time. And as for Kym, who is reportedly stepping away from her Nicky Walters role in Waterloo Road, fans won't have to wait long to see her again. The soap titans have joined the cast of Imposter, a new four-part drama set in Australia that will see a family at war over a hotel when mum Helen refuses to sell up, despite her children demanding that she does so. The soapy plot twists and turns follow, with Helen having had a secret daughter named Amanda, who she gave up for adoption decades earlier. When Amanda unexpectedly shows up, Helen is delighted – but this is the just the beginning of what's set to unfold. The official synopsis tells us: 'The lucrative hotel is the ultimate prize and a twisted scheme soon spirals into betrayal and ultimately, murder.' Consider us intrigued and excited already. The show will be filmed in Victoria, and at the Fremantle Studios in Nunawading this summer. That means that we may well see some familiar Neighbours locations pop up! Just three years ago, Neighbours was axed by Channel 5, though returned to screens in 2023 when Amazon's ad-supported free service Freevee swooped in to rescue it. The daily escapades of Erinsborough residents thrilled fans for another two years before the decision was made by Amazon (in the wake of Freevee's closure) not to renew Neighbours for another season. Production wrapped on the long-running Aussie soap – a staple of daytime TV in the UK for 40 years – earlier this month, with the final episode slated to drop on December 11th. Discussing her time on the serial, Jackie said: 'It's impossible to measure the gratitude I feel for the gift of 30 years on Neighbours. More Trending 'To do so I would have to calculate the number of extraordinary cast and crew I have been privileged to work with, count the number of laughs I have shared with them, measure the pride I feel for the diverse, dramatic (and sometimes outrageous!) storytelling we have all been a part of. 'We are the best version of 'family'. It has been a wild ride into a happy life. [I] wouldn't change it for quids!' View More » This article was originally published on 21st July 2025.

Inside the Lionesses' incredibly normal homes - and there's not a mansion in sight
The Lionesses have risen to success during the Euros and will face Spain in the final this Sunday, but when they're not on the pitch, they can be found at their stunning yet minimalist homes As the England Women's Football team prepares for their Euro final match against Spain this Sunday, footie fans are eager to learn more about the gifted players – including where they reside. Despite their hectic schedules, the Lionesses still manage to add personal touches to their homes. Many of them reside in mid-sized houses adorned with modern decor and sleek furnishings, hinting at a possible shared love for minimalistic interiors within the squad. There's even the odd football memorabilia spotted in the background, and spaces they've created for those all-important recovery days. Let's take a closer look inside... Extra bank holiday update if Lionesses win Euros as No10 breaks silence on day off Alex Greenwood Lioness left-back Alex Greenwood shares her home with partner Jack O'Connell, whom she met during her teenage years. The 31-year-old Manchester City captain has kept most of her home life off social media, but a handful of posts revealed that she has a plush grey sofa and white-washed walls in her living room. In snaps from February 2023, Greenwood can be seen lying on the snug grey sofa, adorned with matching cushions. Air diffusers sit on the white window seals, and a black coffee table and cabinet can be spotted in the background. There's also a touching nod to her career, where a football sits in a stand on the cabinet - we just wonder what game it came from. Lucy Bronze The Chelsea right-back, known as one of the world's top female footballers, lives in a stunning abode with a trendy bedroom and sleek kitchen. In photos shared on Instagram, Bronze revealed her terracotta and pink-shaded bedroom, with warm furnishings and cosy interiors. The room is adorned with abstract art above the bed, plants on the wooden chest of drawers, a circle mirror, lamps with rattan shades, and plush pillows scattered across the double bed. With its warming tones and snug features, it is the perfect haven. In an Instagram post back in 2021, Lucy is thought to have shared another look inside her home, this time her kitchen. While it's unclear if Bronze has since moved, the large kitchen boasted sleek grey cabinets and a large island in the middle. In the snap, Bronze beamed alongside her Nan to sweetly wish her a happy birthday. The same room with the kitchen and open-planned space was featured in another Instagram post in the same year, this time with the footballer holding her beloved pooch. The downstairs area boasts white tiled flooring and white walls for a minimalistic finish, with large patio doors spanning the room. Chloe Kelly Arsenal forward Chloe Kelly lives with her husband, Scott, whom she married in July last year. They also have three adorable dogs, Rolo, Otis, and Brody. Although they haven't officially shown the public around their home, fans have had sneak peeks of its contemporary design on several occasions. The couple has opted for a minimalist aesthetic with a grey carpeted staircase, beige walls, and grey floorboards. Ella Toone In November 2022, the Manchester United attacking midfielder became a proud homeowner and is thought to be living with her long-term boyfriend, Joe Bunney. In a snap shared on Instagram at the time, Toone beamed as she stood outside her new pad and wrote the caption: "Happy new home day." In further snaps, Toone shared a closer glimpse inside her abode, including her living room, which follows the theme of other Lionesses' style. The cosy area boasts a grey corner sofa, beige walls, abstract prints, a black coffee table, and a plush grey rug for extra comfort. The dining room is just as sleek with a stone grey table with circular glass lights hanging above and two shelves filled with photos, ornaments, and plants. It really is the ideal abode to relax after a football tournament.
