Nicola Adams and Ella Baig are expecting their first child together.
The boxer - who appeared on Strictly Come Dancing in 2020, in the show's first ever same-sex pairing - shared the happy news on social media.
The couple are set to become parents together for the first time as Ella is pregnant using Nicola's egg and a sperm donor.
She wrote: "We're so excited to announce that our family is expanding After what feels like a lifetime, we can finally say we're going to be parents!
"We're so excited to share this magical journey with you all, the ups, the downs everything in between.
"Welcome to the world little one."
In the comments section, Nicola and Ella were congratulated by fans - including the star's professional Strictly partner Katya Jones.
She wrote: "I am beyond excited and happy for you!!!!!!! What a beautiful news!!!!!!!!! You gonna be such amazing parents!!"
Another shared: "SO bloody excited for you guys! I can't wait to meet the little one."
"Omg that’s so exciting for you both. Congratulations!" a third penned.
Nicola started her fertility journey with Ella in 2019 - the year before she was forced out BBC's Strictly with Covid.
It was a heartbreaking time for the couple as Ella suffered a miscarriage after after an undiagnosed underactive thyroid.
But it's a case of third time lucky for the pair, as Ella is now in her second trimester.
Writing in Vogue, Nicola said: "We had two failed attempts in total. I was really upset.
"Of course, we knew that there was a chance of it being unsuccessful, but it's hard to see those two lines on a pregnancy test and feel elated before having that ripped from you just a few weeks later.
"I was also more upset for Ella as she was the one going through the process physically. You don’t really know what to say or do – you just have to be supportive."
They have even started planning to have more children in the future, and are excited to expand their brood.
Nicola added to the publication: "Ella and I would like to have more kids after this. Next time around, I think the process will be a lot easier for us.
"And, as for the baby that's on the way, we'll have so much to tell them when they grow up. We'll say, 'You have no idea how much we wanted you!'"
Nicola and Ella started dating in 2018 and they have been inseparable ever since.
