On Thursday, Megan McKenna and her football fiancé Oliver Burke announced the joyful news they were expecting their first child together.
Having only been together for slightly more than a year, the former TOWIE star 31 and athlete 26 have had a whirlwind affair.
After just five months together, Megan declared last June she was engaged to Oliver.
Since they were first seen together in February of that year and Megan stated they had taken things to the next level following a romantic trip to Montenegro, the pair went from strength to strength.

Though they went public with their romance in March last year when they were sighted leaving a London hotel together, it is not exactly when they started dating.
She uploaded pictures of them together on a vacation to Paris that month, gushing in the comment that Oliver was the 'ideal person'.
At the moment Megan commented on the platform: "The perfect trip with the perfect person."
Megan revealed they had met via "mutual friends," the month following their initial interview about their developing romance.
She said: "We have been inseparable ever since; our first date was simply quite wonderful. I'm rather glad we literally do everything together.
"He is such a beautiful person and I am quite optimistic about everything - my life and my relationship.'"
Megan then sweetly posted an homage to Oliver on his birthday in April last year.
She wrote: 'From the time I met you I knew it was a 4ever thing. Cheers your birthday to the most amazing person I know.
Oliver has since advised that the couple got together on New Year's Eve in 2022.
Celebrating 2024 starting, he wrote in a post: "Happy New Year's my love, to think last NYE we'd only just met."
Three months later they came out to say they were engaged.
She wrote, "Yes, yes, a thousand times," sharing a video montage of their vacation to Montenegro. Absolutely. You have unleashed a world I never would have dreamed feasible.
'I love Oliver Burke, dear. Here's my future husband, always sweet.
The lovely film featured Megan being startled by Oliver as he descended on one knee following a romantic boat journey to a remote area of the Balkan nation.
Oliver answered the wonderful message with "I promise to love you for the rest of my life." Growing old with you my wife to be excites me.
'I love you. Infinite years. And always ❤️❤️❤️'"
Megan displayed her gorgeous pear-shaped diamond engagement ring in the film, which Abelini's Director, Nilesh Rakholia, hailed for its original design.
'The pear-shaped diamond is known for its elegance and uniqueness,' he told MailOnline. Its unique teardrop form marks grace, femininity, and a bit of humor.
Megan has always radiated confidence and a sense of adventure; the pear-shaped diamond wonderfully reflects these attributes.
'The ring itself has what looks to be a magnificent platinum band and five carat diamond.'
Then last August the couple displayed their identical tattoos in Amsterdam.
To commemorate the year they met, Megan posted images of the fresh ink which read '22' on their forearms to Instagram.
Laying on the chair in the tattoo studio, she wore a blue crop top, black joggers and a cap.
Oliver, meantime, took a loved-up picture with Megan on the romantic retreat looking laid back in a white T-shirt.
Megan wrote: "Your just a stranger that became my favorite person in 22".
Megan recently moved out of Essex into a new house with Oliver.
She said last September, gleaming in a selfie with Oliver: "Our new adventure begins".
Megan also sent a quick picture of the movers van outside her house and one of numerous tall boxes.
'Bye Essex it's been fun,' she said.
On The Only Way Is Essex, Megan gained notoriety for her explosive outbursts and confrontational style.
She had a turbulent on-off relationship with co-star Pete Wicks throughout her stay on the show.
The couple, whose relationship was famously explosive, called it quits when Megan learned in September 2016 that he had been sexting his ex-partner Jacqui Ryland.
Though it was regrettably not meant to be, they briefly got back together while Megan was following her musical aspirations in Nashville.
Still, the two joined up for Celebs Go Dating in 2019 and managed to put any resentment behind them.
Following Pete Wicks, the Celebrity X Factor winner developed a relationship with late Love Island star Mike Thalassitis.
