Sam Faiers is pregnant.
The former ‘Only Way is Essex’ star is reportedly expecting her first child with boyfriend Paul Knightley – who she has been dating for nine months – and the couple are "really thrilled" by the news.
A source told the Daily Mirror website: "They are really thrilled and really looking forward to being first time parents together."
The 24-year-old beauty – who met the property developer last October shortly after splitting from on/off boyfriend Joey Essex – is believed to be just over three months along in her pregnancy.
The happy news comes just a few weeks after the pair revealed they plan to move in together.
Sam said: "It’s not like he officially lives with me, but he’s always at mine and it’s really comfortable. I’m just about to get an extension put on my house and once that’s done he’ll move in. In the future we’ll buy a house together."
And the couple admitted recently they had discussed marriage and children.
Sam said: "I can see marriage as a possibility. To be honest, we talk about kids more than we do marriage, but as a couple we want the whole package."
