Nicola Roberts has announced she’s expecting her first child with her fiancé, Mitch Hahn.

The Girls Aloud singer, 40, posted on Instagram on Christmas Day to reveal her baby bump and share the news that the couple will soon be welcoming a new addition.

She wrote: ‘Mitch and I have had the most magical Christmas Day sharing the most precious news with our families. We’ve been keeping a secret. We are five months pregnant! We can’t wait to meet our little one in the spring x ‘

Nicola and the former footballer, 37, have been engaged since last year during a trip to Spain.

The caption of the post announcing the engagement on social media read: ‘The most gorgeous Monday in Monaco for my dad’s 60th with the whole family. The bestest trip ’

Among the images was a snap of Nicola sitting at a table across from her fiancé Mitch.

Mitch is a semi-professional footballer, and the couple have been together for three years, but the engagement post marked the first time the star has shared a snap of her partner.

Fans were quick to share their congratulations for Nicola, with one writing: ‘Oh my!!! Congratulations guys!! What incredible news! So happy for you! Merry Christmas ’

Another wrote: ‘The most incredible and special news!!  Couldn’t be happier for you both! Congratulations ’

And a third commented: ‘Omg the biggest congratulations, I’m so happy for you both ’

The snaps came a year after Nicola flashed an engagement ring during an on-stage performance for the Girls Aloud reunion tour, calling into question exactly when the couple got engaged.

A source previously told The Sun last year that the singer was completely besotted with Mitch but preferred to keep her relationship out of the spotlight.

‘Nicola has met her soulmate in Mitch. She couldn’t be happier.

‘The couple first made their relationship public when seen together at a Sir Elton John concert in 2022, but tend to keep their romance away from the spotlight and social media.’

The Masked Singer winner and Strictly Christmas special star previously dated businessman Charlie Fennell for six years, before the relationship ‘fizzled out.’
