Ferne McCann is expecting her second child

Former The Only Way is Essex star Ferne McCann is expecting her second child and her first with fiancé Lorri Haines.

The 32-year-old met her businessman partner Haines two years ago and got engaged back in July 2022.

The couple have recently celebrated their one-year anniversary together, with McCann posting some pictures of the romantic getaway on her Instagram account.

Some fans were speculating that McCann could be expecting in the comment section of that post, with one fan writing: "Anyone else think Ferne is pregnant."

And now, a source close to McCann has confirmed to The Sun newspaper that the model is expecting her second child.

They said to The Sun: "Ferne is over the moon. From the moment she met Lorri she knew she wanted to marry him and have his kids.

"They're both ready to commit and are looking forward to their future together."

Tyla has contacted McCann's representatives for comment.

McCann is already the mum to five-year-old Sunday Skye McCann, who she had with ex-boyfriend Arthur Collins.

Collins is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence after being found guilty of carrying out an acid attack in 2017.

But McCann seems to have found love elsewhere, with fans loving the model's romance with Haines and the pictures she posts to Instagram.

In her most recent - a post from their anniversary getaway - McCann wrote: "Celebrating our one year anniversary.

"Love isn’t all happiness. Romantic dates, lust, laughter, snuggles, cosy dinners & endless joy. No, love means warts n all & showing up no matter what.

"The good the bad & the ugly.

"So Thankyou @lozzahaines for showing up through the good times and the really really really s***** times!

"It’s not been the easiest first year of a relationship but it’s also not been a total write off.

"So with the ebb & flows, I am super happy to have you by my side. Here’s to many more babe."

While no date has been set for the couple's wedding, pals tell OK! Magazine the couple are hoping for a 'low key' wedding in the French Riveria.

They said: "She may go abroad but she is wanting to keep it a bit more low-key and much more intimate and focus on the friends and family that she’ll have there."

In another interview with The Sun last year, McCann said she finally met 'the one' in Haines and said she would 'love' to get married to him one day.
