It's been quite the journey for Rhian Sugden and Oliver Mellor, but they can finally say they are proud parents! They welcomed their first child together and are ecstatic to share the news with the world.
Rhian, a former Celebrity Big Brother star at the age of 37, and Oliver, a 43-year-old ex-Coronation Street actor, couldn't be happier about the arrival of their little one. In November of last year, they announced that they were expecting and now, their bundle of joy is finally here.
The road to pregnancy was not an easy one for the couple, as Rhian's low egg count and perimenopausal symptoms made it a six-year process. But despite all the challenges, they are now living in a baby bubble and enjoying every moment with their precious son. And what a surprise it was when their little one decided to make an early appearance, arriving before the due date of May 4.
Rhian took to social media to share the news, posting a heartwarming photo of Oliver gazing lovingly at their sleeping son, surrounded by their furry friends. Her caption read: "All my boys! My life is complete!" It's clear that this little one has already brought so much joy to their lives.
The new parents also revealed their son's arrival date and weight, but one thing they have yet to decide on is his name. "Name still pending…" Rhian shared, along with a cute emoji. Fans flooded the comments with well wishes and love for the happy family.
It wasn't an easy journey for Rhian and Oliver to get to this point, as it took eight rounds of IVF for her to conceive. The 37-year-old model had almost given up hope of ever becoming a mother. But now, she and her Corrie husband are over the moon and excited for the changes that will come with parenthood.
Oliver shared his excitement, saying, "I can't wait for the baby to be born. I'll pump my fist to the sky and shout, 'I'm a dad!'" And Rhian had always dreamed of having a son, saying, "It was always my dream to have a little boy. I've always imagined having a mini football team. When we found out it was a boy, Oliver had the biggest smile on his face."
They've already decorated the nursery and have a few name options in mind, like Tommy and George. But for now, they are simply enjoying every moment with their precious son.
The couple spent over £150,000 on their IVF journey, with Rhian's OnlyFans page funding the treatments. She previously shared that she was earning up to £1,000 a day for her adult content, which helped make their dream of having a child a reality.
However, the IVF process took a toll on Rhian's mental health as each round brought disappointment and feelings of sadness. She shared, "I'd dread Mother's Day or when friends shared news about their pregnancies because it wasn't working for me. I became brainwashed. Every time I had my period, I'd be like, 'Ugh – I'm not pregnant again,' and felt low for the rest of the month."
It got to the point where Rhian and Oliver had to consider a future without children. But now, with their son here, they are overjoyed and even planning for a second child. Rhian said, "I do want to try for IVF again to have a second baby. I'm not old by any means, but time is ticking for me, so I'd want to start soon. I'd love to leave a gap, but I can't afford to wait too long."
Rhian and Oliver tied the knot in 2018 and have been happily married since. Rhian became a household name years ago when she was involved in a texting scandal with Vernon Kay, who publicly apologized to his wife, Tess Daly. Rhian also apologized to Tess in 2018, expressing regret over how her friendship with the TV presenter continued the way it did.
As they embark on this new journey of parenthood, Rhian and Oliver are filled with love and gratitude for their little miracle. And as for their newborn's name, we can't wait to find out what they choose for their bundle of joy.
