Alexandra Burke reveals she is expecting her first child with Ireland goalie Darren Randolph

Singer Alexandra Burke has revealed she is pregnant with her first child with Irish footballer Darren Randolph.

The former X Factor winner shared the news in a video on Instagram, which showed her revealing her baby bump.

She captioned the video “Due June 2022.”

The video shows Burke and Randolph on a country walk with their two dogs before standing near a lake, where Darren is seen getting on his knees to kiss her stomach.

The clip then shows the couple both rubbing her bump as the Bad Boys singer smiles.

Goalkeeper Randolph, 34, who plays for West Ham and the Republic of Ireland, shared the same video on his Instagram page.

The pair have been dating since May of last year.

Last November, Darren declared his love for Alexandra on his Instagram, posting a picture of the happy couple with the caption: “Just a couple of weirdos in love. You love flowers, but you cut them. You love animals and you used to eat them. You told me that you love me….so now I’m scared. Partners in crime.”

And X Factor beauty Alexandra was won over by the post too, writing: “Waking up to this has made me smile and laugh. I love you so much my P.I.C - I choose you every day.”

Darren made his Ireland debut in 2012 and now lives in Brentwood, Essex.

Previously he dated The Saturdays singer Rochelle Wiseman, his childhood sweetheart, until 2010.

Alexandra was in a relationship with defender Angus for 15 months and had previously said she was sworn off dating any more footballers before falling in love with Darren.
