It’s official; Maria Fowler is going to be a mummy!
The stunning TOWIE star took to Instagram to celebrate her happy news, sharing a super-sweet snap of herself and her partner, Kelvin Batey, dressed in Converse trainers.
Sat in between their feet was an extra pair of teeny-weeny sneakers - and her beloved pooch, David, sat close by, staring into the camera with anticipation.
We bet he can’t wait to meet his baby brother or sister, bless him!
She captioned the image happily: “As it’s Mother's Day, Kelvin and I would like to announce that we are welcoming a new addition to our little family later this year... Baby Batey.”
Maria added: “So happy!
Unsurprisingly, the image went down a storm on Instagram, gaining over 4K likes in just a few short hours.
One fan wrote excitedly: “Omg soo bloody cute!!! Congratulations Maria!!”
Another added: “Omg this is so sweet, congrats @mariafowler_ you deserve to be happy after the last few years you've had!
“Enjoy your precious little one!”
And another wrote joyfully: “So so happy for you lovely lady. You will be a fab mummy!”
While maria has a few months to go before she gets to meet her little one, she celebrated Mother’s Day as a very happy mummy-to-be.
Sharing a photo of her flowers and cards, she wrote: “Happy Mother's Day to all the mums and the other mummy's to be.”
Maria added: “Ours was the perfect day with both of our families coming over for a big Sunday dinner.”
That sounds pretty perfect to us!
Maria has been dating BMX racer Kelvin since August last year and recently said of him:
“This beautiful, kind talented human. I don't want to be one of those that posts my relationship all over here but I never thought I would find someone like this such an honest, loyal, kind, gentleman.
“I’m very lucky.”
Congratulations to Maria and Kelvin!
