Rhian recently revealed that she is expecting a boy, admitting that it was ‘always her dream’ to have a son and that she will welcome her baby boy on May 4.
Rhian – who wants a second baby ‘soon’ after spending £150,000 on eight rounds of IVF – said she was ‘over the moon’ about the news and that she and husband of five years, actor Oliver Mellor, 42, already selected a few possible names.
The star told Closer: ‘It was always my dream to have a little boy, I don’t know why but I always imagined having a mini football team.
‘Oliver never said what he wanted, but when we found out it was a boy he had the biggest smile on his face. We’ve already decorated the nursery and chosen a few names – so far we like Tommy and George.’
Rhian also began her difficult journey to motherhood, admitting she suffered from depression, anxiety and an eating disorder while trying to conceive.
She said: ‘I would dread Mother’s Day or if friends shared news of their pregnancy because it didn’t work for me. I was brainwashed.
“Every time I got my period I was like, ‘Ugh, I’m not pregnant anymore,’ and I felt blue for the rest of the month.”
Rhian added that she and Oliver convinced themselves they wouldn’t be able to get pregnant and “started planning a good life without children.”

After finally getting pregnant, she shared that their son was “a miracle” and that she wants to have another child as soon as possible.
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.
It comes after she revealed her OnlyFans page funded her £150,000 IVF treatment, explaining she earned up to £1,000 a day for posting topless or nude photos on the site.
Rhian shot to fame in 2010 when her ‘texting affair’ with married Vernon Kay was exposed. Vernon’s marriage to Tess Daly survived the scandal.
The glamor model, who is also linked to the ‘cancelled’ Russell Brand, married Oliver in 2018.
Oliver is best known for his role as Dr. Matt Carter in Coronation Street from 2010 to 2013, but also appeared in EastEnders and
In 2012, Rhian appeared on Celebrity Big Brother and was the third person to be evicted.
