Divorcee decided to go it alone with donor baby - then she met the love of her life

A divorcee who decided to 'go it alone' and have a baby via sperm donor met the love of her life just weeks after falling pregnant and now they're raising her tot together. Georgie King, 31, started the process of fertility treatment alone in January 2021 thinking she was "never going to find the right person" - after her divorce left her heartbroken.

Whilst trying to conceive, Georgie met Maddi Gillow, 29, a hotel manager, on a dating app and the pair started seeing each other. Georgie told Maddi about her plans to have a baby via sperm donor and her new flame was "completely supportive".

Georgie discovered she was expecting her first child after three months in April 2021 - only three weeks into dating Maddi, who was delighted by the news. Maddi was "fully on board" throughout Georgie’s pregnancy and doted on her - fetching her her "craving" of frozen coke and driving her around when the mum-to-be experienced morning sickness.
