Actress Jorgie Porter has shared the gender of her baby, which she is due to welcome later this year with fiancé Oliver Piotrowski. The 34-year-old actress and her partner have said they are “thrilled” to announce they are expecting a baby boy.
The couple, who got engaged in December 2021, revealed the gender in an interview with Hello! magazine. They added how having a “healthy baby was a dream come true” as they spoke openly of their devastating miscarriages.
Jorgie, who is best known for playing Theresa McQueen in the Channel 4 soap Hollyoaks, is due to give birth this December. She told Hello!: “We’re thrilled to reveal that we’re expecting a baby boy. Ollie and I didn’t mind either way, of course.
"All we wanted was a baby,” Jorgie added: “He’s certainly very active, and I can feel him doing somersaults and backflips. It’s incredible to think what we’ve created.”
Oliver, a 33-year-old property developer, explained: “We’d been through so much to reach this point and had learnt to take nothing for granted. Just to have a healthy baby was a dream come true.”
The couple shared on social media in June that they were expecting the baby. Jorgie shared a sweet video with her over 700k followers on Instagram, which showed them moving their hands, and their dog's paws, to unveil a picture of the scan.
Last August they discovered during a 14-week scan that they had lost the quadruplets they had conceived naturally. In February, they learnt of their second miscarriage at six weeks into the pregnancy – on the day of their engagement party.
Jorgie said the news was “devastating”, telling Hello!: “I felt we had to go through with the party as we were in a room full of friends and family who love us. It was so hard not telling anyone, but we knew we’d have their support when we told them later.”
The I'm A Celeb and Dancing on Ice star added how her and Oliver have become "stronger than ever" and that they've "learnt to appreciate every moment". You can read the full article in Hello! magazine.
