Charlotte Crosby recently announced that she is expecting her first child with her boyfriend Jake Ankers.
The former Geordie Shore star, 31, shared the heartwarming news on Instagram, where she posted a sweet video showcasing her pregnancy so far.
She wrote alongside the post: “A moment I wasn’t sure would ever be mine Is here, it’s mine (and Jakes) and i couldn’t be happier to be sharing it with you all……Im having a baby.”
Charlotte and Jake have been dating for a few months, but have made an effort to keep their romance out of the spotlight with Jake rarely featuring on Charlotte's social media accounts.
Speaking to OK! in January, Charlotte said of their relationship: "He’s so great. We’re doing amazing at the moment.
"Not many people have seen him because I’m very private when it comes to my relationship with him."
The pair have been inundated with congratulatory messages from fellow celebs and pals, with thousands flocking to comment on the 31 year old star's beautiful Instagram video.
As Charlotte prepares to become a mum for the first time, here we take a peek into her dating history…
Liam Beaumont
Before her romance with Jake, Charlotte was in a relationship with videographer Liam Beaumont, who she met while on holiday in Dubai.
The couple were together for a year and a half, with Charlotte even branding him "the one" during their lengthy romance.
Liam soon moved in with Charlotte at her sprawling mansion, and the pair seemed completely loved-up until they announced their split in 2021.
Charlotte opened up about the split in a Youtube video, saying: "It wasn't a sad breakup you know, it was really amicable and really nice and we're still friends.
"One thing everyone said in my Q&A's was 'you guys looked so happy, what the hell happened?' and the fact of the matter is, we were so happy."
She also admitted: "We had a really nice year and a half together, we had some funny times, we laughed a lot, we took a lot of positives from it.
"There was a lot of personality traits that were very different, you could kinda see that maybe we weren't best suited for each-other."
Stephen Bear
Charlotte previously dated Celebrity Big Brother star Stephen Bear, with the pair publicly confirming their romance in February 2017.
The couple had a turbulent relationship, and first split in October 2017 before reuniting. Bear and Charlotte eventually called it quits in December 2017.
During their relationship they hosted Just The Tattoo of Us together and Stephen organised for Charlotte to get a surprise tattoo of two animals; a bear and a cheetah.
Gaz Beadle
Anyone that is a Geordie Shore fan will know that Charlotte dated co-star Gaz Beadle intermittently for five years, with many highs and lows played out on the hit MTV show.
In 2017 Charlotte tragically suffered an ectopic pregnancy while carrying Gaz’s child and he was away filming Ex On The Beach. At the time she told Heat Magazine: "[The doctor] put me in a wheelchair and I collapsed out of it. I was fitting on the floor and it was just so scary.”
Following Charlotte's terrifying experience, she and Gaz finally called it quits for good after years of going back and forth.
Gaz, 34, has since married model Emma McVey, and the couple share two children, Chester and Primrose.
Ash Harrison
Charlotte dated Big Brother star Ash for five months in 2017. Things did not end well for the stars with Ash writing a cryptic tweet at the time.
Max Morley
Alike to Josh, Max appeared in season one of Love Island. Charlotte dated the star for four months back in 2015 but they ended once she kissed ex Gaz Beadle and it was broadcast by co-star Holly Hagan to her Snapchat.
Mitch Jenkins
Charlotte dated Mitch twice, first before she first entered the Geordie Shore house in 2011 and again in 2015. The brunette beauty was hurt when he ended their relationship, as she told the MailOnline: “I went to test him, I said: 'I think we need to talk, I’m not very happy at all at the minute.' He was messaging me loads and loads… [But later] he said he was going out with his friends.
“You would have thought he’d want to come and see me. I'd have been on the first train. I was so 100 per cent involved in him, if he’d said that to me I would have dropped everything to go see him.
“I was meant to be ringing him at 9pm. And I just got a message on my phone saying 'Charlotte, it’s obvious you don’t want to be with me anymore, so I’ll just cut the bulls**t and I’ll finish things now.'”
Joshua Ritchie
Fans were devastated when reality TV golden couple Charlotte and Josh split in November 2019. Charlotte announced the shock news on her Instagram, writing: "Me and Josh have decided to part ways. Sadly the relationship seems to have broken drown. Hoping we can still remain civil and wish him the best for the future."
The couple met in 2018 and had moved in together in a house in Josh's home town of Bolton. After the high profile split Josh was seen filming Celebs Go Dating.
To this, Charlotte did not take kindly and she showcased her hurt on Instagram during an expletive rant.
Ryan Gallagher
In 2020, during her stint on the Australian edition of I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! Charlotte began dating Aussie reality star Ryan Gallagher who first appeared on the show Married At First Sight.
Him and Charlotte's on-screen romance had viewers gripped however he was adamant it was not just for show, saying when he was evicted: "I'm happy to keep going. Obviously I'd love it to keep going outside the show. That's for us to see what happens on the outside. I really do like her."
However, sadly just a few weeks later the couple split. Talking to Australian news channel, 10 Daily the Geordie lass explained: “When me and Ryan came out of the jungle I made no secret that I had been in a very long relationship and I wasn't ready to jump into another one."
She then added: “I still wasn't looking for something serious, he's at a stage in his life where he is – so we came to a mutual decision that we'd just cool it off."
She added: "I just need to have that time on my own where I'm not worried about anyone else. I want to be really selfish for one year!"
