Gemma Collins kisses fiancé Rami after opening up over secret pregnancy and ex-boyfriend’s affair
Gemma revealed a celebrity's secret sixth pregnancy gave her fertility hopes a boost
GEMMA Collins kissed her fiancé Rami Hawash as they took a sunset swim in the sea in a cute new photograph.
The loved-up couple looked smitten as they frolicked in the water on holiday.
Rami grinned at the camera as Gemma, with her hair in a double bun, planted her lips on his cheek.
She shared the picture on Instagram and wrote: “Bobbing around in a sea of [love heart emoji].”
Her followers were over the moon to see her so happy with one writing: “Gem you are gorgeous! So good to see you so happy! You deserve all the happiness in the world.”
Another said: “Gorgeous looking couple.”
A third wrote: “Love this guys.”
It comes after Gemma celebrated the little things in life that bring her joy over the bank holiday weekend.
Giving a glimpse into her home life, Gemma shared pictures of flowerbeds, vegetable patches and chickens in her large garden.
She wrote: “Life recently…. It’s in the simple things we find the most pleasure #atonewithnature.
“I love to have time that is the biggest luxury in life to cook breathe in normal life not rush and just appreciate having time.”
Last week the former Towie star, 43, bravely opened up about difficult times in her life in a trailer for the new episode of the
Revealing how she felt after a medical professional suggested she terminate a pregnancy, she sobbed: “They advised me you need to have a termination. I remember that being really stressful. That hurt me.”
The candid conversation also saw Gemma reveal how an unnamed ex-partner cheated on her while she was pregnant.
She said: “I was really heartbroken because I was pregnant and he was having an affair.”
There are light moments in the interview too, with Gemma referencing her £2,000 designer vagina.
“I have had an operation years ago,” she said. “I have had a designer vagina, but I don’t have camel toe!”
Gemma, who is stepmum to fiancé Rami Hawash’s son Tristan, five, has made no secret of her desire to start a family of her own over the years.
Tragically, she has suffered three miscarriages.
One happened in the first coronavirus pandemic lockdown when she was in a relationship with ex-boyfriend James Argent.
In an emotional appearance on Loose Women in 2020, she said losing a baby with “someone I loved very much was very heartbreaking”.
She told the panel: “It’s not easy to fall pregnant. I did suffer a miscarriage, which was really sad, during the lockdown period.”
The star, who has polycystic ovary syndrome, said she didn’t realise at first and thought she was just having a very heavy period that lasted for ten days.
She explained: “Three or for days in, I was realising it wasn’t usual. It went on for ten days between 9am and midday.
“I was getting through ten super sanitary towels [a day].
“I rang my doctor and he said I he said: you need to go straight to the hospital.”
Gemma added: “It was very sad. But it does make me realise that potentially there is hope there for me for the future.”
What is polycystic ovary syndrome?
Sufferers of polycystic overary syndrome, known as PCOS, can struggle to release an egg to be fertilised, often making it difficult to fall pregnant.
For many, the only hint of PCOS is irregular periods, while in more severe cases sufferers can be left with embarrassing hair growth on their faces, chest, back and backside.
Having polycystic ovaries also increases a woman’s chance of developing type 2 diabetes, depression, high blood pressure and high cholesterol and sleep apnoea later in life.

Polycystic ovary syndrome is a common condition that means the ovaries do not regularly release eggs and can make pregnancy difficult.
Gemma said at the time she still hoped to become a mum, explaining she was “holding on to that dream”.
She said: “I pray every night that everything’s going to work out for me. Having a miscarriage with someone you love very much was very heartbreaking.”
There was more heartache in 2012 when Gemma miscarried and gave birth on her landing, something she understandably still finds difficult talking about.
Speaking on her podcast, she said: “I actually gave birth to a child, sadly, and basically the child was four months old.
“Basically I had a miscarriage but obviously the baby was formed and it died in front of me.
“I had to go to the hospital and my mum was there. I can remember my mum being really upset, I was in shock, I was upset.
“That was really a shocking moment for me. But this is what I’m saying, I can talk about it now. Things sometimes are not meant to be.”
RENEWED HOPE
Gemma’s baby hopes were given a boost in December when Gordon Ramsay‘s wife Tana, 49, gave birth to their sixth child.
She said: “The Tana Ramsay news was the greatest thing to wake up to. Incredible.”
“It really made me think positively about my future and kind of took the pressure off.
“I don’t think anyone knew she was pregnant, so it was a lovely surprise, but I got butterflies in my stomach when I saw it.”
The reality star then added that she was preparing to start her fertility journey and would share more information in due course.
