Celebrity Big Brother’s Ben Jardine to become a dad with mystery woman eight months after split with Married At First Sight’s Steph
BEN Jardine is expecting his first child with a mystery woman - eight months after splitting from Married At First Sight's Stephanie.
The reality TV star - who is heading into Celebrity Big Brother tomorrow night - exclusively revealed to The Sun Online he is to become a dad at the end of the year.
He told us: "They say 'God loves to turn purposeless chaos into something beautiful' and He (or She!) really has in my life!
"I have been blessed. Out of all the chaos of this past year something beautiful has happened, which I will forever protect and be grateful for.
"I never thought it would happen to me. Everything happens for a reason.
"It's going to make a man out of me and I'll be a great dad."
Weeks after getting hitched to Steph, the pair shocked fans with the news that they’d split.
Just one day after Ben, 36, announced the marriage was over, a 20-year-old named Lucy accused him of cheating on Steph with her throughout the entire duration of the show.
But Ben insisted he always wanted his marriage to a stranger to work - and admitted he did kiss someone - but only when Steph knew it was all over.
After a year from hell, Ben is now finalising his divorce as he looks forward to welcoming a baby with a woman he has been seeing.
Despite living out his love life on TV last year, this time around Ben has made sure the mother of his child stays out of the spotlight following his high-profile relationship.
It's going to be a fresh start for the 36-year-old who is close to ending his marriage officially.
Insiders say he'll now be able to go into the Celebrity Big Brother house with a "huge weight lifted".
It's thought his "charm and charisma" will make him a huge hit with Channel 5 viewers when the show launches tomorrow night.
