The former Celebrity Big Brother contestant announced her pregnancy in February with husband Charles Gay, calling her new bump a “little miracle.”
Holding up the positive pregnancy test the day they heard the news, Natasha and Charles were ecstatic as they smiled and shared a kiss.
The beauty also showed off her blossoming baby bump, cradling it sweetly as she filmed herself in the mirror.
Sharing the news with her 131,000 followers, she wrote: ‘7 years of loving you ❤️ 17 months of marriage. We finally got our little miracle ✨ Baby Gay who is due in September 2023. We really couldn’t be happier xxx’
The baby will be her fifth child and the first with Charles, whom she married in 2021 in a stunning ceremony on Lake Como, after being together for seven years.
Charles, a fashion entrepreneur, is a director of ES-AN ATLAS BRANDS and CEO and founder of LDN Global Group.
Natasha began dating Charles in early 2016, shortly after parting ways with Five Star Ritchie. They announced their engagement in November of that year, before tying the knot in a stunning Lake Como ceremony in 2021.
In 2017, Natasha explained that she was looking forward to another child, her first with Charles, but wanted to wait until they were married.
It’s something we’d both like in the future, but not until after we’re married. We have a lot to figure out before we can even consider having a baby,” she told OK Magazine.

In February 2018, the singer and Charles sparked split speculation when she removed the businessman from her personal Facebook page and unfollowed him on all of his public media profiles.
However, just two months later, he confirmed they were back with a snapshot of them in bed captioned, “Love Conquers All.”
While Charles is said to get along “brilliantly” with his four stepchildren, he often shares family snaps on social media.
In 2019, Natasha was adamant that a fifth child with Charles wasn’t on the cards anytime soon.
Speaking to MailOnline, he said: “We can’t try to shoehorn a baby, and the wedding, we’re in no hurry.” Whatever we’re doing, we’re enjoying our lives together as a family.’
In May, she spoke candidly about how she suffered a “total mental breakdown” after giving birth to her fourth child.
He revealed that he ended up in psychiatric care shortly after welcoming his daughter Ella in 2014.
Natasha said she felt she had “lost her way” after divorcing her husband Riad and went through a series of “mental ups and downs”.
Speaking on the Mindkite podcast, she said: “I was married for seven years, got divorced, lost plot a bit, went through some mental health ups and downs, and then had my daughter in 2014.”
Natasha previously suffered from postpartum depression following the birth of her son Josh in 2002, but she admitted that it was nothing compared to her later experience.
She explained: ‘When I had my baby girl and I had a complete breakdown and was under the care of a mental health team, the care of a psychiatrist. That’s when I said, ‘We can’t keep doing this Tash. You have to fix your shit.
Natasha, who joined Atomic Kitten in 1999 at age 16, explained that it took her a while to adjust to life after the band when she quit six years later.
She said: “I grew up in this intense, totally cotton-wrapped bubble for five years, then all of a sudden I snapped out of it and everyone was doing their thing in there and I was literally in my own here, going, ‘I don’t know how to live a normal life. My whole life was scheduled and suddenly I was thinking: “What should I do?”
Congratulations! The former Celebrity Big Brother contestant announced her pregnancy in February with her husband Charles Gay, calling her new baby bump a “little miracle.”

After leaving the band, Natasha moved north to live with her then-husband, Riad.
However, the singer admitted that they had a hard time accepting the fact that she was the main financial support in their relationship.
She said: ‘I was the breadwinner when it came to being in a relationship with a guy. I would be the one to take us out and buy things and do things, which obviously for a young guy is also going to wreck your head.
Since then, Atomic Kitten have reunited on several occasions and Natasha appeared on Celebrity Big Brother in 2015.
