Gemma Rose, star of Married At First Sight, has revealed that she is expecting her third child.
The reality personality announced the good news on Instagram with a video of a fake newspaper. The headline read, ‘Baby on the way,’ and disclosed that she and her partner Jordan Bish are expecting a child in March.
Later, she also shared a baby ultrasound with a nice note expressing her joy.
‘Absolutely over the moon to share this beautiful adventure with such a supportive and kind partner who makes me cry happy tears daily, talking to baby and being so present.’ she wrote.
‘I am so blessed to have you and our family @jordanbish11.’

Although they initially seemed like a perfect match when they met for the first time on their wedding day, things quickly spiralled on their honeymoon.
In a dramatic couple swap, Matt ended up breaking it off with Gemma and re-entering the experiment with Whitney Hughes who left her husband Duka Cav.
Gemma admitted to hiding her decade-long addiction to alcohol and cocaine in order to be selected for the process. She hoped that the lack of access would help her break the drug addiction while taking part.
‘Although there wasn’t cocaine around, there certainly was a lot of alcohol in those big glass decanters,’ she recalled.
Gemma was spending up to £1000 a day on drugs after quitting the show.
‘There were days where I was sending a dealer a thousand pounds a day, and it was for other people, and for me,’ she told The Cabin Recovery podcast.
‘You are so desperate to be high and to forget everything that you’ll just keep spending money on that disgusting, dirty drug. It makes you want it more.’
Her addiction had rendered her homeless and impoverished.
‘I became homeless through my addiction… 12 years we were in that house,’ she heartbreakingly shared.
‘We went to a homeless place, luckily I got back on my feet financially and I’m able to afford a beautiful home for us again.’
After recovering, the salon owner flew to Turkey to have gastric sleeve surgery to aid with weight loss.
One of her followers enquired: ‘Congratulations! How will weight loss surgery work in tandem with pregnancy? (Genuine question)’
‘I have to snack a lot and being pregnant has made me hungry. I’m maintaining weight easily and he’s measuring long and healthy, we see a lovely nutritionist every month and they’re really happy with my progress within pregnancy. X,’ Gemma responded.
Her MAFS co-star Chanita Stephenson sent her a message of congratulations, and revealed she’d known for a while: ‘YAAAAAASSSSS the news its out ♥️🙌🏾 you already know how happy I am for you both. Wishing you all the best 🥹😘.’
Congratulations Gemma and Jordan!
