Previously, Kate has spoken out about not wanting kids, with fiancé Martin - or Boj, as he's more commonly known - telling Hello! Magazine that he had wanted kids "for so long" but that Kate had always told him it wasn't going to happen.
Opening up about changing her mind on the matter, she told the pulbication, "I have never felt more ready [to have children].
“For a lot of my life I did feel pressurised and I wasn't ready. You have to do what's right for you. I think I am going to be a much happier person knowing that I did this when I wanted to."
In May 2020, Kate and Boj launched their podcast, aptly titled Maybe Baby, about "what happens when a woman who’s always known she doesn’t want children starts to wonder if she might want kids after all?"
Seems like they might need a new name for that podcast after yesterday's events...🤔.
