Zoe Sugg hosts cute garden party with family to celebrate 31st birthday and pregnancy
Zoe Sugg finally reunited with some of her closest family members to celebrate her 31st birthday, marking the first time she’s seen them since announcing her pregnancy.
The YouTube star, also known as Zoella, made the most of the glorious sunshine on Monday by hosting small gatherings in her garden at the Brighton home she shares with boyfriend Alfie Deyes.
From today, it is now legal to host up to six people in outdoor spaces, including private gardens in the latest easing of lockdown measures.
Kicking off the morning, Zoe enjoyed breakfast in a gazebo with Alfie’s sister Poppy Deyes and her boyfriend Sean Elliott.
‘Birthday round 2! Breakfast!!’ she told her followers.
Just in case anyone was confused about why she had people in her garden, Zoe then explained: ‘Rule of 6 in gardens came on the perfect day! (Although we thought it would be nice to have the gazeebo [sic] up just in case.’
The group indulged in all the pastry and sweet treats, including a heart-shaped, wild berry and vanilla birthday cake with cherries on top, icing and cream.
A few hours later, Zoe and Alfie were joined by her brother Joe Sugg and his girlfriend and Strictly Come Dancing pro Dianne Buswell.
While lapping up the afternoon sunshine, Zoe teased: ‘Look who our lunchtime guests were!!’
Dianne made sure she didn’t come empty-handed and appealed to any pregnancy cravings Zoe might be having by making the mum-to-be a red velvet cake.
‘So lovely seeing the birthday girl today. It’s been a long time waiting,’ Dianne said.
Joe had earlier marked Zoe’s birthday, which fell on Sunday, with a sweet throwback photo of them as children with the caption: ‘Happiest of birthdays to my big sister ❤️🎉 I feel like if we went to see Mr Blobby now we’d probably still be like we are in this picture.. 😂 @zoesugg.’
The influencer replied: ‘I am laughing so much at this!! Why does this sum up our sibling relationship as kids so much? 😂😂.’
It’s the first time Zoe has been able to see friends and family since announcing that she’s expecting her first child with Alfie.
The couple revealed the news earlier this month in sweet videos, including one showing Zoe getting her first scan.
Zoe’s baby bump is certainly growing fast as she was seen cradling her stomach in a post to mark her 31st birthday, just days after admitting she was ready for a bigger bump.
She wrote alongside the post: ‘T H I R T Y – O N E 🎈Second lockdown birthday in the bag! 😂
‘It’s been such an amazing chilled day (celebrating with family & friends tomorrow in the garden once the new rule of 6 comes in) so Alfie & I have made pancakes, FaceTimed family, watched films and eaten sweets & pizza. Honestly just living my best life 💕🥰
‘Thanks for all your lovely birthday messages too! (As you can see a little someone else popped out to say Happy Birthday too! 🤰).’
Zoe and Alfie are expecting a baby girl and she’s due in September.
