Married at First Sight UK star Terence Edwards has revealed exciting personal news, announcing that he is expecting his first child with his new girlfriend, Krystal Elizabeth. The announcement comes just four months after the couple publicly confirmed their relationship, marking a rapid and joyful development in their lives.
Instagram Announcement and Baby Details
The 42-year-old DJ, who rose to fame on the Channel 4 reality show, shared the happy news via a joint Instagram post with Krystal. The post featured several heartwarming images, including an ultrasound scan and a baby hamper adorned with a sign that read, 'Baby Edwards, arriving June 2026.' In his caption, Terence expressed his gratitude and excitement, writing, "Around Christmas time we found out the great news that we’re expecting, what a gift from God at such a precious time."
He continued, detailing their preparations: "Since then we’ve been in our little bubble taking it all in, getting ready for our new addition & trialing out pushchairs. The excitement of becoming a first time mum has been overwhelming & we can’t wait to meet our little bundle of joy! Baby Edwards due June 2026, so exciting times ahead." This public sharing marks a significant moment for Terence, who has previously described himself as private about his relationships.
Reactions from MAFS Co-Stars and Celebrities
The announcement prompted an outpouring of congratulations from fellow Married at First Sight UK alumni and other celebrities. Peggy Rose, a co-star from the show, commented enthusiastically: "Yessss!!!!!!!!! SO SO HAPPY FOR YOU both!!!!!!!!! Best news ever!!! Bigs is going to be a daddyyyyy!! Love this for you babe – made my day xxx." MAFS expert Paul Brunson showed his support with a series of love heart emojis, while former EastEnders actor Richard Blackwood added, "Congratulations sir."
Terence's Relationship History and MAFS Journey
Terence officially introduced Krystal to his followers in September, ending speculation about his love life post-MAFS. He wrote on Instagram at the time: "Since leaving Mafs the million dollar question I get asked everyday is 'have you found love yet?'…well let me introduce you to the one that completes me. She’s been my rock and ride or die for a while so only right you guys get to meet the one who I’m ready to grow with." He acknowledged his usual privacy but expressed a desire to embrace change, stating, "Never been one to put my relationships on socials as that’s not my thing, plus I’m private…but I’m ready to grow, achieve & do things different."
This new chapter follows his stint on MAFS UK in 2023, where he was matched with Porscha Pernnelle. Their relationship was short-lived, as Terence decided to leave the experiment early after learning that Porscha had kissed others during a game of spin the bottle. Reflecting on his decision at the time, he told the experts, "I thought it was a pride thing, I thought everyone had the upper hand and they were laughing at me. So I was trying to say stay, trying to stay leave, I was toying for ages - it wasn't until the last minute I made the decision. I've taken time by myself and I've listened to some of the guys. But, I'm leaving."
Family Background and Future Plans
In addition to expecting his first child with Krystal, Terence is already a father to three children from previous relationships, aged 25, 11, and eight. This new addition will expand his family, bringing fresh joy and responsibilities. The couple's focus now shifts to preparing for the baby's arrival in June 2026, with Terence embracing his role as a first-time dad to this child amidst his existing parenting experience.
The swift progression from announcing their relationship to expecting a child highlights a whirlwind romance that has captured the attention of fans and followers. As they navigate this exciting time, Terence and Krystal's journey continues to unfold, offering a glimpse into the personal lives of reality TV stars beyond the screen.
