Towie star Sam Faiers is pregnant with her third child.
The 30-year-old confirmed the exciting news by sharing a sweet family picture of her and partner Paul Knightley’s son Paul, five, and daughter Rosie, four, kissing her belly.
Sam captioned the black and white photo: ‘Soon to be a family of 5 ❤️ We have a spring baby on the way ☺️🤰🏽We’re so happy and feeling blessed 🙏❤️.’
The reality star added they would not be finding out whether they were having a boy or a girl, saying: ‘Ps keeping this little one a surprise.’
Her former Towie castmate Gemma Collins commented: ‘Whoop whoop so happy for you guys congratulations’, while singer Louisa Johnson added: ‘Omg congratulations.’
A rep for Sam confirmed that their baby is due in the spring, while Paul shared the same post and caption.
Sam and Paul have been together since 2014, following Sam’s split from Joey Essex, and they welcomed their first child together in December 2015.
Fans had speculated that Sam was pregnant again as she wore a baggy jumper on a charity trip to visit an orphanage in Moldova which looks after disabled babies and children.
Sam began documenting her journey through parenting with the ITVBe series Sam Faiers: The Mummy Diaries, which later grew to include her sister Billie.
However, back in June, Sam chose to quit the show after seven years, with Billie retooling the series to be called The Family Diaries.
Sam explained: ‘To my wonderful followers and supporters of The Mummy Diaries over the past 7 years, for many months of consideration, I’ve decided that now feels like the right time to step away and to focus on new adventures.

‘I truly have watched all the most defining moments in my adult life play out on The Mummy Diaries – bringing two beautiful children into the world, my relationship with Paul, building my businesses, creating a home together as a family, and of course all the wonderful memories with Billie and my family.
‘I’m so grateful to ITV and Potato for giving me and my children the best home movies anyone could ask for, I could never have imagined 7 years ago that we would still be here today- 9 series on! But more importantly I will be forever appreciative to our incredible viewers.

‘For those of you wondering why, and this is the honest truth; I always said when the children start school, I would reassess the situation and this wasn’t an easy decision to make by all means 😢 but I’ve decided I would let my family take a break from it all.
‘For me personally TV has been my career for the last 11 years, you have watched me grow up since I was 19 and I don’t plan on retiring yet 🤣 I’m working on some exiting projects and very excited for this next chapter.’
