Mario Falcone reveals he planned pregnant fiancée Becky Miesner’s secret baby shower
The former Towie star jokes he was pushed into organising a bash for Becky because there was no one else to do it
MARIO Falcone prepared a secret baby shower for pregnant fiancée Becky Miesner after she claimed she wasn’t going to get one.
The 30-year-old former Towie favourite joked he was “guilt-tripped” into planning the event after Becky, 29, attended a baby shower for her friend and assumed she would not be getting one herself – because she had no sisters to organise it.
Speaking to this week, Mario explained: “Becky went to her friend Emma’s baby shower and came back and was like, ‘Oh, it was amazing!
“'I’m not going to get one because her sisters arranged it and I haven’t got any sisters.’
“So I ended up talking to two of her best friends and saying, ‘Right, I’m going to need your help.’ All Becky knew was that she was having a baby shower, but she didn’t know any of the details.”
Mario’s heartfelt gesture comes after the pair decided to postpone their upcoming nuptials until 2019 after discovering Becky was expecting in March this year.
Explaining his decision to delay the wedding, Mario said: “We were supposed to be getting married in August.
“Now we’ve rescheduled for next Spring.
“We want three or four kids, so hopefully we’ll end up with a boy and a girl.”
Mario started dating make-up artist Becky in August last year following his fling with ex-Geordie Shore star Vicky Pattison.
Becky and Mario's relationship moved quickly, with the pair moving in together after a matter a weeks and trying for a baby at the start of the year.
But the pair have decided that they do not want to find out the sex of their first child – with Mario joking the “extra surprise” will help Becky through labour.
Mario explained: “That moment of me passing Becky the baby and telling her what we’ve had is something we’ll remember together for the rest of our lives.
“It will help Becky get through labour because she’ll have an extra surprise.
“We’re split in our household – I think it’s a girl and Becky’s always said a boy!”
Mario and Becky will have no shortage of help from their family, with McFly singer Tom Fletcher, who’s married to Mario’s sister Giovanna, offering parenting advice.
Tom and Giovanna, both 33, welcomed son Max to their brood in August, joining four-year-old Buzz and Buddy, two.
“Tom and I went for a walk and had a good chat and he gave me loads of advice,” Mario said. “He said you don’t know until you hold the baby that feeling that comes over you.
“It changes your world. Nothing else matters, it’s just all you care about and all you live for.”
