Jack Whitehall has delighted fans with news he is expecting his first child with girlfriend Roxy Horner. The comedian took to social media to share the exciting update with adorable snaps of him smiling with Roxy as they held up baby scan photos.
The comic jokingly captioned the sweet black and white pics: "And I thought I wasn’t getting enough attention when the dog arrived…" The pair were flooded with messages from fans and friends who rushed to congratulate them.
Pswan19 replied: "Congratulations to you both. Lovely news." Emilypassxo added: "Omg congratulations to you both!!!!" Emily.mclaughlin.507027 gushed: "Oh! Oh! Oh! Many CONGRATULATIONS."
Jack, 34, rose to fame during the late 2000s thanks to his hilarious jokes and contributions on TV shows such as 8 Out Of 10 Cats and Would I Lie To You?. He is also well-known for starring as JP in the series Fresh Meat and Alfie Wickers in Bad Education - and its spin-off film The Bad Education Movie.
The couple currently live in a £17.5million, five-bedroom home in Notting Hill - along with their dog, Coco. They first met each other at the start of 2020 while they were both in Australia.
Commenting on their early days as a couple on the Couples Quarantine podcast, Jack said he and Roxy isolated together during the coronavirus pandemic, which brought them closer together. "Weirdly that was quite nice because we spent a lot of time together and it accelerates the relationship in a way." He said.
"Then when lockdown ended, there was a lot of things we realised. We'd never gone to see a film together. We'd never been to a restaurant in England because we met in Australia."
Jack and Roxy's pregnancy news comes after the duo had a miscarriage las year. In an interview with Hello! Magazine, Roxy said: "We had a miscarriage last year and so there was a part of me that was worried to open up too soon about this baby because I was so worried something would happen again and I didn’t want to have to kind of tell the world."
