We’ve seen the ins and outs of Ferne McCann’s private life over the years, thanks to her popular reality show First Time Mum. But Ferne’s love life has largely remained behind the scenes, with her boyfriends choosing not to go on camera.
However, as the series returns for an eighth time, that’s all set to change as Ferne introduces partner Lorri Haines – who has a son from a previous relationship – to viewers.
Ferne, 31, met real estate agent Lorri, also 31, earlier this year and she exclusively tells us that he recently moved in with her and her daughter Sunday, four.
“We thought long and hard as a couple about what would be best for our families and we’ve made this decision,” Ferne tells us. “It’s been just amazing and I’m very excited about our future. He’s the first and only person that I see a future with – not only for me but for Sunday as well.”
Here, Ferne opens up about the big move, how she’s the happiest she’s ever been in a relationship, and why she gave Lorri no choice but to be in First Time Mum…
Hi, Ferne. Have you enjoyed filming First Time Mum this time around?
The start of every series, I always feel a little bit rusty and think to myself, “What am I going to film?” But you get back into the swing of things and loads happens and, ultimately, I do feel some of the best scenes are at home, just being me. Also, Sunday’s now a little mini human – she’s very much a little girl now and I feel every age brings a newness and fresh content. That’s the beauty of it, it’s the show that keeps on giving.
