Georgina Howard, the 32-year-old model and former girlfriend of reality star Alex Mytton, has revealed she is expecting her first child with Marc Francis-Baum, the 55-year-old father of Made In Chelsea alum Issy Francis-Baum. The couple made their pregnancy announcement public on New Year's Day via Georgina's Instagram account, marking a significant personal milestone for both individuals.

Georgina shared the joyful news with her followers through an Instagram post captioned "Third wheel for '26," accompanied by what appears to be the first photograph of Marc on her social media platform. The exact duration of their relationship remains undisclosed, but the announcement generated substantial support from former Made In Chelsea cast members.
Sophie Habboo and Tara Keeney were among those who expressed their congratulations, while Marc's daughter Issy Francis-Baum contributed a particularly touching message, commenting "[love heart] goo goo" beneath the pregnancy announcement post. This family connection adds an intriguing dynamic to the developing story.
Recent Developments and Pregnancy Progress
The couple recently enjoyed a tropical getaway to Bali in January alongside Issy, during which Georgina posted bikini-clad photographs featuring her partner's 24-year-old daughter. In a subsequent update shared on March 11, Georgina informed her followers that she had reached 33 weeks of pregnancy at that time.
She celebrated this milestone with a carousel of striking images showcasing her growing baby bump while wearing a stylish brown triangle bikini. Georgina maintains professional representation through London-based agency Models 1, while Marc has established himself as a successful entrepreneur with multiple business ventures in the capital.
Background and Professional Lives
Marc Francis-Baum co-owns several London businesses including Barworks Ltd/Goodlife Group (The Diners), Camden Town Brewery, and East London Liquor Company. His career trajectory began humbly working behind a bar before progressing to business partnerships with former employers. Interestingly, he also possesses musical experience from his time in a band prior to focusing on entrepreneurial pursuits.
Georgina's most recent public relationship before Marc was with reality television personality Alex Mytton, which lasted approximately two years between 2018 and 2020. Alex had exited the E4 reality program Made In Chelsea in 2017 before beginning his relationship with Georgina, creating no overlap with Issy Francis-Baum's later appearance on the show beginning in 2022.
Made In Chelsea Connections and Fan Reactions
Marc Francis-Baum initially gained television recognition through a cameo appearance during his daughter Issy's tenure on Made In Chelsea. Introduced to viewers during a storyline in series 25, Marc immediately captured audience attention with his distinguished appearance and charismatic presence.
In the memorable episode, Issy invited cast member Miles Nazaire to her family home in Victoria Park for a pool date, where they were joined by her father. Viewers expressed considerable enthusiasm on social media platforms, with many humorously inquiring about Marc's relationship status and advocating for his permanent inclusion in the program.
Notable fan comments included: "Is Issy's dad single? Asking for a friend"; "Possibly showing my age here, but can we keep Issy's Dad as a main character?"; and "Omg who knew Issy's dad would be the highlight of #MadeInChelsea? That house is amazing but he is another level of hot."
Family Context and Personal Details
At the time of his television appearance, Marc was married to Issy's mother Joanna, with whom he shares three children: Issy, Freya, and Jesse. The family resides in an impressive Georgian property in East London featuring distinctive architectural elements including double frontage, expansive open-plan areas, and a spiral staircase.
The household also includes several beloved pets: Lulu the Hungarian Vizsla alongside cats named Joshy and Casper. During the filmed episode, Issy remarked to Miles that he reminded her of her father, to which Marc responded with characteristic humor, telling his daughter's suitor: "Well, good luck. You're going to need it."
The storyline concluded with Miles ultimately deciding to end the relationship with Issy, citing concerns about the then-20-year-old model's maturity level. This background provides context for the evolving family dynamics as Georgina and Marc prepare to welcome their first child together, expanding their blended family network.
