Made In Chelsea’s Binky Felstead is pregnant with her second child – four months after devastating miscarriage
MADE IN Chelsea’s Binky Felstead has announced that she is pregnant with her second child – four months after suffering a devastating miscarriage.
The 30-year-old star shared the news in a sweet Instagram post today.
In the adorable snaps, Binky is proudly cradling her growing bump – which is on display in a chic pink jumpsuit.
Max looks pleased as he stands beside her, with the reality star’s beaming daughter India, three, holding up images from the baby scan.
Binky, real name Alexandra, captioned the post: “• BIG SISTER ALERT!!! •
“We are so thankful and excited that our family will be growing in 2021! India gets her new title of ‘Big Sister’… which she’s already very proud of! 🥰
“2020 has been a real personal rollercoaster with some huge ups 💍 and some lows 🌈 💫
“We are so excited, happy and thankful for what is to come! Here’s to 2021 🥂��🏼🤍”
Embracing Binky’s first-born as his own, Max sweetly shared just a photo of India smiling as she holds up the scans to his own social media page.
He gushed in the caption: “I’m super excited that this little nutter is going to be a big sister in 2021 🤪💫 🥳🍼”
Binky shares India with ex boyfriend Josh ‘JP’ Patterson.
They welcomed their little girl in June 2017, but announced their split the following September.
In September of this year, the star announced her engagement to Max after just 19 months of dating.
The ecstatic reality star showed off her huge diamond sparkler as she kissed her fiancé in an adorable photo.
She wrote on Instagram at the time: “The easiest ‘Yes’ EVER! 💍
“On Friday morning, on their way to the duck pond, Max asked India for her permission to ask her mummy to marry him.
“I love you Max- you bring out the best in me. Im so lucky ❤️.”
However, the following month the star opened up about their private tragedy as she revealed they’d suffered a devastating miscarriage six weeks earlier.
She bravely shared at the time: “I’ve thought long and hard about doing this post, but I felt that if I can pass on any warmth, comfort or help to anybody in the same position – well that would be great.
“It’s only fair that I share some of my ‘downs’ as well as my ‘up’ moments. Today would have been my 18 week mark, but sadly we had an early miscarriage just before 12 weeks.
“Not only was this heartbreaking for us, but it also came as such a shock to me.
“I hadn’t realised until then how blessed I was with having such a relatively straight forward pregnancy with India – I’ll admit I was naive enough to assume the next one would be as straightforward, but I had two early scans as I was concerned I was bleeding.
“They found a ‘very strong’ heartbeat. However, on the third scan I was told ‘I’m afraid there’s no heartbeat’.”
Binky met Max last January at Soho Farmhouse, their relationship moved fast and they were discussing buying a house together by the summer.
Binky said at the time: “I hoped I’d meet somebody, I just didn’t know it would be so soon, and I didn’t know that this would be how I feel.”
The reality star was one of Made In Chelsea’s original cast members and spent six years on the show.
Upon announcing she was leaving in 2017, she told fans: “Thank you for the amazing amount of support and love – what an incredible experience, couldn’t be prouder of this show & how far it’s come!”
She added: “It’s been my second family and I will deffo be back to do the odd bits and bobs on it I’m sure in the future, but now I feel my time has come to a natural end seeing as the next big (grown up) chapter of my life is about to begin!”
