Amy Childs never thought she'd have any more children - in fact, she's told us in the past that as a mum-of-two she felt her family was complete. But after meeting Billy Delbosq last year and falling in love, the TOWIE star came around to the idea of having another child and planned to get pregnant in 2023.
However, it seems fate had other ideas as three months ago she took a pregnancy test and it came back positive. And the real bombshell moment came when she was told she's not expecting just one baby but two, as the couple exclusively reveal in our at-home shoot that they're having twins.
"I'm still in shock," Amy, who is 15 weeks pregnant, tells us as she is getting glammed up in the make-up chair.
The 32-year-old later says, “I promise you now, I didn’t want any more children. When I met Bill I thought, ‘Do you know what, I’ll have one more.’ We are so excited – it’s going to be absolutely amazing.”
The babies will have siblings in Amy’s other kids – Polly, five, from her relationship with Bradley Wright, and four-year-old Ritchie who is named after his father and Amy’s ex, Ritchie.
But this will be one big blended family as Billy gushes over his relationship with his stepchildren – and Amy says there’s even been talk of him adopting her eldest child.
“I love them to bits,” the 39-year-old businessman says, full of smiles.
And while the couple are besotted with each other, even hinting at a forthcoming proposal as they come to terms with having twins, their romance hasn’t been without its stumbling blocks.
