Girls Aloud singer Nicola Roberts has expressed her delight at joining the "pregnant lady community" after announcing she is expecting her first child. The 40-year-old pop star shared a new social media update, cradling her baby bump and thanking fans for their outpouring of love and support.
A Magical Christmas Announcement
Nicola Roberts revealed her pregnancy in a heartfelt Instagram post on Christmas Day 2024. She shared the joyous news alongside a gorgeous photo showcasing her baby bump, telling followers she and her fiancé, former footballer Mitch Hahn, 37, had shared the "most magical" day with their families. The couple disclosed they are five months along, with their baby due to arrive in the spring.
In her latest post, Nicola penned a sweet note of gratitude. "A little note to say thank you for all of the beautiful messages of congratulations and support by all of our friends and family and many of you I don't know personally who have shown us so much love," she wrote. She added, "It's lovely to relate and be part of the pregnant lady/mummy to be community."
Celebrity Congratulations and Relationship Timeline
The singer's famous friends were quick to celebrate the news. Rochelle Humes called it "the best news ever," while Jessie Ware and Laura Whitmore also sent their heartfelt congratulations in the comments.
Nicola and Mitch became engaged just one year ago, in July 2024, during a romantic holiday in the south of France. A source close to the couple told The Sun at the time, "Nicola has met her soulmate in Mitch. She couldn’t be happier." The singer first flashed her impressive diamond ring while performing on stage at Brighton Pride last summer.
The pair were first pictured together at an Elton John concert in June 2022. Mitch, an accountant and semi-professional footballer, previously played for Essex team Grays Athletic and captained the Great Britain team at the European Maccabi Games.
Looking to a Happy Future
This pregnancy marks a new chapter of happiness for Nicola. Her last public long-term relationship was with Charlie Fennell, which ended in 2013. She subsequently endured a horrific four-year stalking campaign from a former partner, Carl Davies, who was convicted and jailed for his actions, including sending death threats to her and others.
Now, with her baby due in a few months and her wedding to Mitch on the horizon, Nicola Roberts is clearly embracing a joyful and exciting new phase of her life, supported by her loved ones and legions of fans.
