Love Island's Jess Shears shows off baby bump and dad-to-be Dom Lever can't stop smiling

Love Island’s Jess Shears was all smiles as she showed off her blossoming baby bump over the weekend.

The mum-to-be went to cheer on her husband and former Love Island co-star Dom Lever, who she married last year, at a charity football match.

Jess, sporting brown locks with dip-dyed ends, looked happy and relaxed in black jeggings, a black V-neck top, a black leather biker jacket and fluffy sliders.

Dom, 27, couldn’t wipe the grin off his face as he put the thumbs up to the cameras after of the match, which raised money for The Christie.

The couple walked hand in hand as they exited the Crown Oil stadium in Rochdale.

Dom was one of the All Stars taking part in Joe Thompson’s testimonial match against the Rochdale Legends team.

The loved up couple announced the news on Instagram in May with a photo of the baby scan.

They showed off Jess’ baby bump next to the scan pic, along with another polaroid of Dom jokingly cradling his own stomach.

The post was captioned with: “The best is yet to come.”

Dom followed it up with the same photos but the caption: “Living the dream.”

The pair are one the ITV2 show’s few success stories after finding love in the villa in 2017.

Fans were initially up in arms when Jess ‘stole’ Dom from Montana Brown - but it was meant to be and they have been inseparable since.

They tied the knot last year at an intimate wedding in Mykonos, Greece, and featured in an OK! Magazine feature revealing how delighted they were to show their relationship could go the distance after Love Island.

Dom said: "People said we wouldn't last but now we're husband and wife. We're proof that when you meet the right person, there's no need to hang around."

Jess added: "I'm so excited to be Mrs Lever and to spend the rest of my life waking up next to Dom."
