Charlotte Crosby is pregnant! Geordie Shore star announces she is expecting her second child with fiancé Jake Ankers almost two years after welcoming daughter Alba Jean

Charlotte Crosby has announced she is pregnant with her second child, almost two years after she and her fiancé Jake Ankers welcomed daughter Alba Jean.

The 34-year-old reality star shared the news in a clip on Sunday, in which she declared she was “very excited” and also showed off her growing baby bump.

Charlotte looked stunning in the clip as she showed off styles from her new clothing line Pepper Girls Club before slipping into a figure-hugging dress and joining Jake and Alba Jean on the beach.

It said: “ERA is pleased to announce that baby Ankers number 2 will be born in January 2025.”

Jake shared the clip and commented: “Our family is growing, our second baby is on the way.”

Fans and famous friends alike rushed to comment, with pal Sophie Kasaei writing, “How I could ever keep this a secret, I don’t know. I am so proud of you forever, my girl!! Can’t wait for the day when all our families are together!”

Geordie Shore star Holly Hagan said: “I absolutely love it, I love you all so much!”

TOWIE’s Amber Turner commented: “Ah congratulations,” while Love Island’s Demi Jones gushed: “Ah! That’s amazing!”

Charlotte and Jake welcomed Alba Jean in October 2022 and became engaged a year later.

Charlotte announced that she was expecting her first child in May 2022. She was with Jake, whom she had been dating for a year at the time.

Charlotte previously revealed that she made the decision to start trying for a baby in December 2021, shortly after she and Jake began their relationship.

The couple decided to stop trying, realizing their relationship was already at the expecting stage, and bought ovulation sticks to avoid having sex on fertile days.

But then in February, on Valentine’s Day, the star felt strange when she wasn’t in the mood for drinking and sex during a surprise romantic getaway to a posh London hotel – before realising she was pregnant.

Jake popped the question on a rooftop in Dubai, surrounded by rose petals, candles and a heart-shaped backdrop.

Charlotte shared a photo on Instagram where she covered her mouth with her hands in shock, and in the caption said she was the “happiest woman in the world.”

She wrote: “The luckiest woman in the world, Yes, yes, yes and yes @jake_ankers you are my best friend, you are my life I CAN’T BELIEVE I’M ENGAGED AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. Best night ever.”

Jake shared a photo of the proposal and wrote, “I finally got the courage to do it… I love you with all my heart.”

Earlier this year, the couple pulled out all the stops to celebrate their engagement with a lavish party.

After proposing in Dubai, the couple finally decided to celebrate their proposal with a spectacular party among friends and family.

The couple rented the luxury Grantley Hall hotel and spa in Ripon, North Yorkshire, which also had a Michelin-starred restaurant.

Guests included Charlotte’s mother Letitia and her Geordie Shore co-stars Holly, Sophie and James Tindale.

Everyone dressed up from head to toe for the special occasion, and Charlotte took the opportunity to wear a form-fitting white wedding dress.

She showed off her curves in an off-the-shoulder dress and added a touch of chic with diamond-studded high heels.

Later that evening, she changed into a second white outfit – this time a lace minidress that revealed her tanned legs.

Holly, 31, and Sophie, 34, complemented each other in matching, black, sparkly dresses.

Holly opted for a halter neck with a sexy open back, while Sophie opted for a one-shoulder design with side cutouts.

Also present at the party were Holly’s husband Jacob Blyth and Sophie’s boyfriend, TOWIE star Jordan Brook.

The group shared memories of the joyful evening on Instagram, showing themselves sitting in a beautifully decorated tent.

The venue was decorated with strings of Christmas lights and huge trees inside, and the drinks were flowing freely.

Holly showed videos of herself and Sophie singing Dreams by Gabrielle while drinking wine.

The guests then headed to the dance floor to party the night away. In one clip, Jake can be seen chatting with James and Jordan while the trio enjoys more drinks.

Sophie cuddled up to her former co-star James and gave him a sweet kiss before posing for a selfie.

She also shared a striking group photo, which included James’ girlfriend Leah, with the caption: “Couple goals.”

Mother-of-one Holly clearly enjoyed the chance to unwind as Sophie filmed her sipping drinks, dancing and singing along to Nicki Minaj’s Superbass.
