The happy update comes not long after Jess said she was ready to start trying for a baby after tying the knot.

Speaking to Heat magazine after her September wedding in Majorca, Jess said: "Yeah I mean, there is that kind of feeling now the wedding is done and it’s time to start trying for a child.

"So we’ll see what happens. No one is putting any pressure on me, but we’re definitely hoping to have kids at some point."

Jess also recently spoke out about how she had decided to freeze her eggs after her mum Carol and her late Nanny Pat both started early menopause at 41.

While it hadn't happened to Jess, she wanted to take precautions so she'd be able to have a baby if it did.

She told Grazia: "I knew it was a symptom so I was really, really panicking myself and spiralling into this ditch of 'I’m going through menopause, or I’m going to start'.

"And then I was worrying if we’re going to be able to have children."

Jess and William starred in their own ITVBe reality show Jess Wright: The Wedding, which followed them as they prepared for their big day and documented Jess' egg-freezing journey too.

Jess rose to fame on reality show TOWIE alongside her younger brother Mark when they joined the cast in 2010.

She starred for six years before deciding to leave.

Since then she's released music, worked on her own clothing lines and starred in other reality shows, including Celebrity First Dates.
