The singer told People at the time: "Even though I'm classed as a single mum, I've got my family and friends and the father is going to be involved.

"I think we've made the right decision. If you stay in something that won't be happy, that's not good for the baby. He's going to be loved by both his parents, and he's not going to see us feuding or arguing."
