Pregnant Chanelle Hayes reveals she finally found true love on Tinder with Ryan Oates as she celebrates their first anniversary with ‘miracle baby’ news
CHANELLE Hayes found true love by swiping right and reveals it’s the best thing she’s ever done.
After years of turbulent relationships, Chanelle fell head over heels for PE teacher Ryan Oates and the couple celebrated their one year anniversary by announcing their happy baby news to The Sun Online on Monday.
While Chanelle believed the couple may never be able to have children after she was diagnosed with Polycystic Ovaries, she’s now 13 weeks pregnant with Ryan’s first child.
Their “miracle baby” has made their family unit, which includes Chanelle’s six-year-old son Blakely, complete but Chanelle admits she took a very modern route to get there.
Chanelle said: “We met on Tinder, how bad is that? It’s so mortifying.
“He came over to Wakefield and we went for a drink in a casual bar and then I was so nervous I kept buying shots.
“We ended up getting drunk and going on a proper night out in Wakefield, it was really, really good.”
Now the couple are madly in love, with Chanelle adding: “He’s brilliant with my family and Blakely adores him!”
Chanelle’s relationship history is well documented, including a volatile relationship with her ex Jack Tweed who she dated from 2010 to 2013.
Chanelle explained: “I changed my type of men, it was getting me nowhere.
“Now I’m somewhere and I’m really happy – it’s brilliant!”

Now the couple are happily expecting the birth of the baby, with Chanelle revealing the pair are planning to wed in 2019.
She said: “I’d love to marry Ryan – we wanted to marry next year and then straight away have a baby but it’s just gone a bit the wrong way around. But who cares? I’m excited now?
Chanelle, who shared the first scan with The Sun Online, is now busy planning their little one’s 'gender reveal' party with Ryan – who’s determined to be involved in every part of her pregnancy.
Chanelle said: “We want to do it in the Easter holidays. You can get a cake with colours in it or you can get a box full of coloured balloons, or you can get a big balloon and pop it.
“Ryan doesn’t want to miss anything, he wants to be involved in every step of the process - baby showers are for the girls so this will be for him to celebrate too.”
