Gemma Collins melts fans’ hearts as she gushes over three-year-old ‘stepson’ in first Instagram snap of the toddler

GEMMA Collins has melted her fans’ hearts after gushing over her three-year-old “stepson” Tristan in her first Instagram snap of the toddler.

The 40-year-old star looked slimmer than ever as she took the tot for a walk in the autumn sunshine today – admitting she liked the excuse to get her steps up.

In a sweet photo, Gemma is wearing sports leggings and a plain black top – showing off her natural beauty by posing make-up free and with her blonde hair tied into a ponytail.

She has one hand on the buggy, with her partner Rami Hawash’s little boy sitting in the seat – taking in the views while wrapped up warm in a winter coat.

Gemma captioned the post: “The most lovely day being step mum to a beautiful three year old boy I absolutely LOVE IT getting the steps in ”

She added: “It’s so rewarding and just so enjoyable I absolutely love it ”

And many of the former Towie favourite’s followers were quick to share their reaction to her loving words, with one commenting: “You must be the most fun step Mum and I bet you spoil them rotten.”

Another wrote: “Lucky boy to have such a kind step mum.”

A third agreed: “Being a step mum is one of the best things in the world, a child can never have too many people to love them.”

And one told The GC: “It’s lovely to see you finally getting what you really wanted ”

Gem also shared videos to her Instagram Story that showed her nephew reading to Tristan, whose face she kept obscured.

The devoted post comes just days after Gemma revealed that she is exploring the possibility of IVF after struggling to conceive with Rami.

She shared at the time: “I really want a baby now, I’ve not been using any contraception. I can’t get pregnant so I’m gonna have to be brave now and look into this myself. It feels like sometimes – when’s it gonna happen? Why me?”

GEM’S LOVE STORY

Gemma and Rami first dated in 2011, enjoying an on/ off romance for three years before splitting in 2014.

They got engaged in 2013 when he proposed by hiding a diamond ring in a Christmas pudding.

They briefly reconnected in 2017, but Gemma was back with James Argent soon after. However, she called time on that rocky relationship for good last year.

In April, it was revealed that Gemma and Rami had been secretly dating for six months – and he had welcomed his son since their last split.

Asked if their relationship is better the second time around, Gemma added: “Do you know what, I think I am older now and he has got a lot out of his system.

“I think it’s better second time around because no offence – people would always say I was desperate for a baby.

“Imagine that. I was busy building my empire and I think I got to that stage and now I can fully commit to a relationship and I can fully commit myself. This is the one. I will marry Rami.”
