She began her difficult journey to motherhood admitting that she suffered from depression, anxiety and an eating disorder while trying to conceive.
She said: ‘I love the pregnancy so much. It feels like a miracle and has helped heal my pain. I told Oliver, “I can’t bear the thought of this being the last time I’m pregnant, we have to go again.”
‘I would like to try IVF again to have a second child. I’m definitely not old, but time is ticking for me, so I want to start soon.
“I’d like to leave a gap, but I can’t afford to wait too long.”
She joked that her pregnancy made the couple get inventive with their sex positions because of her bump and the fact that she wasn’t allowed to lie on her back.
Rhian said that although they were ‘still very active in the bedroom’, their sex life is ‘a bit weird’ because Oliver doesn’t like the baby watching from her tummy.
The television personality’s OnlyFans page funded her £150,000 IVF treatment, with Rhian previously explaining that she earned up to £1,000 a day for posting topless or nude photos on the site.
She said The sun: ‘I have nice breasts and I’m not ashamed of OnlyFans.
‘I’ve made more money from OnlyFans than I have in my entire career.
‘There are so many topless pictures of me, and I thought: why not? I was making a few thousand a day,” she continued.
‘Ollie thinks it’s a bizarre concept that all these men pay money to see his wife’s breasts and he gets the benefits of IVF.’
