Alex Reid and his fiancée Nikki Manashe have welcomed their ‘miracle’ twin sons after a seven-year-long IVF journey.
Nikki, 36, who gave birth by caesarean, and the Celebrity Big Brother star, 47, had their non-identical twin sons on Wednesday.
The happy news comes after a difficult journey in which Nikki’s waters broke early at just 18 weeks.
Confirming the birth of her bundles of joy, Nikki said: ‘To just have them in my arms. I am complete now. I have my family and I never need to revisit that dark place again.
‘All those different surgeries from miscarrying and injecting myself. All those hospital appointments. It was worth it,’ she added to Daily Mail.
Nikki also revealed the adorable names of her sons: Phoenix Bobby and Hunter George.
Throughout her pregnancy, Nikki has kept her fans and followers updated, including the scary moment she was rushed to hospital with serious pregnancy complications.
Celebrity Big Brother star Alex Alex, 47, had asked fans to ‘please just pray for my family’ as he feared losing his unborn children.
Just two weeks ago Nikki shared how the twins were coping in her womb and admitted things had taken a worrying turn.
She wrote: ‘Twin 1 who’s waters broke is losing water again and he’s very small in comparison to his brother. My movement is decreasing both babies are head down ready for birth so I have 4 legs kicking my rib cage [sic].’
‘I’m not sure who is who but movement is a little less.
Nikki continued: ‘They are literally miracles and I was told yesterday by a midwife that in all her years of working she has never seen a case like me and my boys make it this far.
‘Having the love and support from all of you near and far has helped us all x [sic].’
Her post came after Alex released his own statement four days ago on Instagram with an excited caption that read: ‘In a few weeks I’m going to be a father to twin boys!!!!
‘Hospital bags are packed as we are officially on watch!!! I will know more next week [sic].
The couple are also parents to one-year-old daughter Anastasia
