Prior to the official announcement, there had been a great deal of speculation that the couple were expecting. Misse and Jake have been dating since October last year, and in March rumours first surfaced that the reality star was pregnant. Misse is already a mum to son Julian with footballer Anders Lindegaard. The former couple were divorced in August 2016 after two years of marriage.

News of Misse's pregnancy comes after her RHOC co-star Dawn Ward spoke to the Mirror about her relationship with Jake. "Jake's been over for dinner at my house and Misse is really happy," she said. "I'm so happy for them, because all you could ever wish for your friends is that they're happy and Misse's really happy and doing amazing with her modelling.

"For me personally, her going has been a massive, massive negative side for me. Me and Misse were so close and built an amazing friendship, but she's moved on to other things. She's doing her modelling, she's in a new relationship, she's so happy."
