The sweet one minute clip sees the singer and her partner, Darren Randolph, cosying up together after a relaxed stroll through a scenic forest.
Footballer Darren, 34, plants a kiss on Alexandra's blossoming baby bump in one scene, while in another, Alexandra is seen relaxing on her pregnancy ball.
Fans and celebrity pals were quick to congratulate Alexandra on her happy news.
Taking to the comments, TOWIE star Vas J Morgan said: "Omg!!!! Alex!!! I'm so happy for you!!!"
Elsewhere, JLS crooner Oritse Williams agreed: "Congrats!" and added a red love heart emoji.
Model Munroe Bergdorf wrote: "Congratulations angel," and Strictly Come Dancing professional Oti Mabuse sent a number of loveheart eyes emojis.
Alexandra has been dating West Ham player Darren since July last year.
The pair were initially thought to be taking things "slowly" when they first met, as they started dating shortly after Alexandra split from footballer Angus MacDonald after 15 months together.
"Darren is the sweetest, most down-to-earth guy — and incredibly charming," a source told The Sun at the time.
"Things are going really well. They're super-happy seeing each other when they can, and she's now helping him redecorate his mansion.
"She's making his bachelor pad more homely and adding a much-needed feminine touch."
Since winning The X Factor in 2008, Alexandra has enjoyed a varied career - boasting three number one singles, as well as parts in musicals and a stint in Strictly Come Dancing.
"For me, I’m all about giving back and I’m in a position where my voice can be heard," she told Tyla recently. "I’m able to talk to people and spread good messages across and encourage people to give back to their local communities.”
