Alex Reid and his fiancée Nikki Manashe have welcomed their ‘miracle’ twin sons after a seven-year-long IVF journey.
Nikki, 36, who gave birth by caesarean, and the Celebrity Big Brother star, 47, had their non-identical twin sons on Wednesday.
The happy news comes after a difficult journey in which Nikki’s waters broke early at just 18 weeks.
Confirming the birth of her bundles of joy, Nikki said: ‘To just have them in my arms. I am complete now. I have my family and I never need to revisit that dark place again.
‘All those different surgeries from miscarrying and injecting myself. All those hospital appointments. It was worth it,’ she added to Daily Mail.
Nikki also revealed the adorable names of her sons: Phoenix Bobby and Hunter George.

Just two weeks ago Nikki shared how the twins were coping in her womb and admitted things had taken a worrying turn.
She wrote: ‘Twin 1 who’s waters broke is losing water again and he’s very small in comparison to his brother. My movement is decreasing both babies are head down ready for birth so I have 4 legs kicking my rib cage [sic].’
‘I’m not sure who is who but movement is a little less.
