Pregnant reality television personality Molly-Mae Hague was seen covering her baby bump with a long black coat as she made her way to her Maebe offices in Cheshire on Thursday. The 26-year-old star, who recently announced she is expecting her second child with partner Tommy Fury, has already disclosed that she knows both the gender and the chosen name for her upcoming baby.
Cold Weather and Office Preparations
Appearing to feel the chill of the day, Molly-Mae wrapped her coat tightly around herself while accessorising with dark sunglasses and chunky boots. She was also spotted clutching a coffee cup, perhaps for a bit of warmth or an energy boost. Accompanying her was her long-term manager, Fran Britton, as they prepared to tackle the day's work commitments together.
Pregnancy Announcement and Secret Struggles
Earlier in the week, on Tuesday, the former Love Island contestant opened up about the various irritating symptoms she has been experiencing throughout her second pregnancy. In her first vlog since sharing the happy news, Molly-Mae described the baby announcement as her worst-kept secret, largely because her two-year-old daughter, Bambi, has been telling everyone she meets.
Molly-Mae had initially revealed her six-month pregnancy status on Instagram through a low-key, grainy black-and-white home video. Speaking candidly to her fans in a YouTube update, she explained, "I don’t really know how we got here, but I’m pregnant, legitimately the worst kept secret." She admitted fault in trying to conceal the news, stating, "That’s honestly my own fault because towards the end, I got really lazy trying to hide it. We weren’t even trying to hide it."
Toddler Tales and Public Reveals
The influencer elaborated on how Bambi inadvertently spread the news, saying, "Having a toddler is savage, if you want to keep a secret don't tell them. Bambi is telling everyone, she told all the air hostesses on the way home from the Maldives, she's told all her teachers at nursery." She expressed gratitude towards those who pretended not to hear, noting, "The people who have known through Bambi have been really great to me and just pretended that they didn't hear."
Over the past month, observant fans had picked up on subtle clues, such as Molly-Mae sipping peppermint tea and accidentally revealing her bump in the reflection of a darkened window during one of her YouTube vlogs. She added, "We still in this current moment, we don’t have anything filmed, I felt like posting a black statement on my Instagram saying 'Yes, I am pregnant', we don’t even have anything to post."
Pregnancy Experience and Symptoms
Reflecting on her current pregnancy journey, Molly-Mae shared, "I haven’t really been documenting anything, it’s been so different this time, it just feels really chilled and I feel really at peace weirdly." However, she is facing similar challenges to her first pregnancy, which made concealing the news difficult.
She explained, "One of my symptoms is my skin, my eczema, my skin is so so irritated and flared. It was the same in my last pregnancy, I’m just struggling with little things to hide it." Other symptoms include constant breathlessness, as noted by viewers in her videos, and a noticeable bump that has become increasingly visible. She continued, "I am pregnant and yeah my body is changing and there are differences visibly emotionally, mentally, physically."
Congestion and Overall Wellbeing
Molly-Mae also mentioned dealing with congestion, remarking, "It sounds like I’ve got a rotten cold and one of my symptoms has been congestion. I woke up this morning to an empty bed and Tommy wasn’t there and I came into the spare room and said I was snoring so loudly." Despite these minor irritations, she considers herself fortunate, stating, "I’m so lucky to say that I’ve had a really amazing pregnancy, I’m so beyond blessed that I’ve had a very smooth experience."
She praised other women who endure more severe symptoms, saying, "I don’t get sick, I’ve not had symptoms that are debilitating, I can kind of pretty much crack on as usual, which is amazing for me because I’m not one of those women, you amazing women out there that have horrendous morning sickness and still get up and get your things done." Molly-Mae humorously added, "Best believe if I felt like that, I’d be done for, the whole world would hear about it."
Future Revelations
While Molly-Mae has confirmed that she knows the baby's gender and has selected a name, she plans to keep those details private for now, saving the announcement for a later time. This approach adds an element of anticipation for her fans and followers as they await further updates on her pregnancy journey.
