Jeremy Kyle and Vicky Burton got engaged in 2018 just a couple of years after his divorce, and now they're expecting their first child together.
The Jeremy Kyle Show host, who has already had two failed marriages under his belt, excitedly announced the news that he was to become a dad for the fifth time.
He already has daughters Harriet, 29, Alice, 15, Ava, 13, and son Henry, 10, from his previous marriages to Kirsty Rowley and Carla Germaine .
Jeremy and his nanny-turned-fiancée Vicky, who at 38 is 16 years younger than him, are set to become parents early next year.
The 54-year-old grandfather raised eyebrows when he proposed to his kids' nanny in February 2018 after a year of dating, but they had already known each other for a decade.
Vicky was responsible for looking after his three youngest children, but it's believed the couple didn't get together until she had stopped working for the family in April 2016.
Jeremy went his separate ways from ex-wife Carla after 13 years of marriage, in September 2015, officially getting divorced five months later .
Carla, who met Jeremy while he was a radio DJ, cited her husband’s “unreasonable behaviour” in their quickie divorce in 2016.
Sources say Carla - who reportedly cheated on Jeremy with polo player James Carr - was “seething” when she heard about the engagement.
When news of Jeremy and Vicky’s relationship first broke , Carla said: “I’m in shock. She was my nanny for nine years. She looked after my babies. We were best friends. But I haven’t heard anything from her.”
Jeremy’s first marriage to Kirsty Rowley ended in 1990 – a year after their daughter Harriet, now 29, was born.
Jeremy and Vicky are believed to be planning their nuptials for the summer of 2020 in the Caribbean where they holidayed together with his kids and Carla.
The chat show host revealed that his proposal didn't go as well as he'd hoped as it was so disastrous that it left Vicky begging him to stop.
"It was on our holiday to the Caribbean and I'd been carrying the ring around in a dry bag for days," said Jez, revealing that he'd been hoping for the right moment to strike.
"We had gone on a boat trip to this Island and I thought, 'This is going to be perfect', but then it started to rain," he said.
Jeremy and Vicky were left seeking shelter from the storm in an abandoned shack but the romantic moment quickly went from bad to worse.
"I went down on one knee but there was glass on the floor," said Jeremy. "Then I opened the box and the ring was upside down."
"[Vicky] said, 'Would you just get up?!' I tried to be romantic and failed miserably," he admitted during an appearance on Loose Women last year.
However, it looks like their nuptials might be put on hold as they prepare to welcome a newborn.
Jezza told The Sun : "Vick and I couldn’t be happier to say we’re expecting our first baby together.
"We've told our families and everyone is delighted."
The TV star was diagnosed with testicular cancer in 2012 and had to have one of his testicles removed.
It's much needed happy news for Jeremy, whose show was axed from ITV earlier this year after the tragic suicide of guest Steve Dymond.
Steve took his own life just days after appearing on the show and failing a lie detector test while trying to prove to his fiancée that he hadn't cheated on her.
The show was immediately pulled off the air and subsequently cancelled by bosses.
A Government review was held about it, but Jeremy refused to appear and give evidence.
It was recently reported that Jeremy is set to make a return to prime time TV.
