Former TOWIE star Lucy Mecklenburgh could well be gearing up for baby number three-after admitting to feeling "broody" over a pal's newborn daughter.
Sharing the cute post of her friend's baby girl on her Instagram Stories, the former reality star, whose fiancé is actor Ryan Thomas, wrote, "Stop making me broody Myla Mae." Lucy, 32, already has two children with former Coronation Street star Ryan - Roman, four, and Lilah, two. But it sounds like she might just be considering adding to her gorgeous brood.
And now a source has told the new that the TV star loves nothing more than being a mum - and having a big family is something that she and Ryan have always dreamt about.
"It's no secret that Lucy would love more kids - her joy in life comes from being a mother.
It's the best thing she's ever done," the source said. "Lucy and Ryan both love their families - Ryan, in particular, was so close to his dad Dougie before he passed away, and is always there for his brothers, Adam and Scott.
"Lucy is the same with her sisters. They want this for their own family and would love more kids. Ryan is such a family man and is on the same page with Lucy about having another baby."
Ryan, 40, also shares 15-year-old daughter, Scarlett, with his former Corrie co-star Tina O'Brien, and Lucy has touched on the possibility of the couple having more kids before.
Just two months after welcoming Lilah, Lucy spoke about growing their brood in an Instagram Q&A, when a fan asked if she was "done" having children.
