Clare Crawley responded to a fan who asked if she was pregnant when she opened up about her recent wedding on Instagram.
“I understand the good intentions behind this… but it’s never okay to ask someone this in my opinion,” he wrote in his reply. ‘You never know what someone’s personal/private health journey is. I can promise you this… I will always share what I feel comfortable sharing so you don’t have to ask,” she posted on his Stories, adding a praying hands emoji.
The speculation was perhaps sparked by Clare, 41, who revealed children were already in her life after a fan asked her if she planned to start a family in the future.
‘The children are in my present,’ she replied.
After fans expressed confusion over the answer, Clare, who recently married Ryan Dawkins after a three-month engagement, clarified that she was actually a stepmom now.

‘Because my husband has children. That makes me a stepfather now to them and they are incredibly special to me. They count.’ she posted, adding a red heart emoji.
Speculation about the pregnancy also appeared to have been sparked by a photo Clare posted from her doctor’s appointment. ‘Ahh, now I see where some of you got this from! Just on my weekly allergy shot,’ she clarified.
Clare also shared some details about her recent nuptials after a fan asked her if the wedding was a ‘secret/surprise’.
‘It was not a secret or a surprise to those close to us. I have always said, even publicly, that I wanted a very intimate micro-wedding soon after we got engaged,” she explained.
