Katie Price’s ex Alex Reid reveals he’s having a baby girl with fiance Nikki in gender reveal video
KATIE Price's ex husband Alex Reid is having a girl with pregnant fiancee Nikki Manashe.
The fighter-turned-actor, 45 and his fiancee kept this "secret for 21 weeks" as they celebrated their "miracle baby".
They headed down to the local park with their dog Lola to do the gender reveal, which involved popping a balloon filled with coloured confetti.
"So we are in the park and we are about to reveal, all four of us, including the bump – the sex of the baby!" Alex said in a video the pair posted to their individual Instagrams.
"I have got my scissors but we are actually going to use Lola our Chihuahua!"
Alex then crouched to the ground and popped the balloon to reveal pink confetti, meaning he was going to have a little girl.
"We have been keeping this a secret for 21 weeks but now I can finally reveal, that I’m gonna be a dad again to another beautiful little girl," the proud former MMA fighter said.
His fans were thrilled for him and rushed to congratulate him.
"Congrats mommy and daddy," wrote one Instagram user.
Another added: "Massive congratulations."
And a third said: "Amazing news congratulations."
In November, the couple confirmed that Nikki was four weeks pregnant with twins after a seven-year IVF battle.
She wrote at the time: "Even miracles take time."
Sharing a photo of her positive pregnancy test to her popular Instagram page, which has documented her IVF battle, 35-year-old Nikki wrote: "Even Miracles Take A Little Time. We Still Hope and sometimes against all odds, against all logic, we still hope."
But she tragically miscarried one of the babies in December.
He wrote: "We lost one of the twins. I am 💔.
"Today was a scary day for Nicola. Emergency call out and bleeding but thank god for the kindness of @hsfc_uk Dr Venkat who calmed a self isolating worried pregnant lady down at 5 am followed by the kind act of pure love from @ultrasound_diagnostic_centre who helped us and saw us straight away, checked the healthy little fighting baby over, made sure the bleeding wasn’t anything sinister and confirmed the baby was well with a due date I can happily say mum and baby are home resting and shielding.
"Baby Reid due July 16th. We will never forget the other baby. Who will now be a guardian angel for his/her twin #ivfjourney#ivfwarrior."
While Nikki also shared a scan of her baby and wrote: "My little warrior has arms and legs."
Alex and Nikki have suffered five miscarriages after trying for a baby for two years.
The couple had started their fourth round of IVF in February last year, but it was put on hold due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The former cruise ship performer met cage fighter Alex in a gym in 2013.
Nikki has previously opened up about the trolling she's faced after suffering miscarriages - with people cruelly telling her it's "karma".
Speaking exclusively to Fabulous Digital, Nikki said: "Every time I would go through IVF I would see nasty comments online from trolls.
"Having to read all that when I'm at my lowest was really tough."
