Gemma Collins has entered 2026 with the biggest promise of her life — confirming that she and fiancé Rami Hawash will both welcome a baby and walk down the aisle this year.
The former TOWIE star, 44, who has never shied away from sharing her fertility struggles, took to Instagram as she toasted the New Year with what she called her “final glass of champagne” before becoming a mum.

Looking every inch the diva, Gemma partied with Rami and close friends including DJ Fat Tony at London hotspot The Ned, sharing a string of glamorous snaps from the night.
Alongside the photos, she wrote:
“The most fantastic NYE with our faves. It was the final drink of champagne as I have a wedding to plan!! Yes, I’m getting married this year and YES I’m having a baby.”

She added: “We had the most amazing evening at @thenedlondon — out of this world. The staff, the canopies, the entertainment, it just kept coming. You should all book now for next year.”
Gemma has been engaged to businessman Rami since 2024 and is already a devoted stepmum to his seven-year-old son Tristan.

The reality star has previously shared how she and Rami had considered surrogacy after struggling to conceive naturally, and that fostering had also crossed her mind, inspired by the fact her own mum was fostered.
Doctors have told Gemma she has a low level of AMH hormones, meaning she has a limited number of eggs, and she also lives with PCOS — a condition that directly affects the ovaries.
The couple have also spilled the beans on their ambitious wedding plans, revealing they want three ceremonies — one main event in the UK, another abroad, and a smaller formal celebration for close family and friends. And in true GC fashion, Gemma says that means multiple wedding dresses.
Gemma has suffered three miscarriages. Her first loss came in 2012, though she only felt able to speak publicly about it eight years later. She revealed she didn’t even know she was pregnant at the time and heartbreakingly said the baby “died in front of her” after she gave birth at home.
During the Covid pandemic in 2020, she suffered a second pregnancy loss, followed just months later by a third miscarriage after falling pregnant with then-boyfriend James Argent.
More recently, Gemma has also spoken about her health after turning to weight-loss injections. She admitted she was forced to pause the jab last summer after suffering a “gallbladder attack” that left her collapsing in pain.
Despite fears the medication may have played a role, she revealed she has now returned to it in small doses — microdosing at 2.5mg — after losing around 3½ stone and dropping from a size 26 to a size 20.
“I’ve given it a rest and really managed what I eat,” she told The Mirror. “With microdosing you don’t get all the side effects.”
Her long-term aim is to lose six stone, but she insists she isn’t chasing perfection.
“I’m never going to be stick thin — and I don’t want to be. It’s about being healthier,” she said.
After years of heartbreak, uncertainty and silent tears, Gemma is finally daring to dream again — raising a glass not to what she’s lost, but to the baby and wedding she hopes will define her future.
