Ollie, who is best known for appearing on Made in Chelsea, shared well-wishes to everyone who is trying to expand their family but are experiencing difficulties in their announcement post.
He shared in the caption: “We are beyond delighted to finally be able to share the news that we are expecting twin baby Locke-Locke’s into the world this summer!
“You have all been so wonderful throughout the last three years of us trying to have a family and we promise to share every step of this adventure with you all."
Ollie added: “For all those on their own journey to become parents we are with you and sending all the baby dust your way! "Thank you to our sensational surrogate @bex7ward for being the most incredible human, the love we have for you and your family is just another level! Xx.”
The couple’s celebrity friends and fans celebrated the news in the comment section. Ollie’s best friend and former Made in Chelsea star Binky Felstead shared: “ITS HAPPENING BABBBBBAYYYYY’s !!!!!!”
Ollie's Made in Chelsea co-star Miles Nazaire gushed: “So happy for you both!!!!", while Lottie Tomlinson commented: “Wow amazing congratulations.”
Geordie Shore’s Vicky Pattison wrote: “This is THE best news I’ve ever heard lads.”
And presenter and activist Katie Piper penned: ‘Awwww this is the best news.”
Meanwhile, Jess Wright, who is the sister of The Only Way is Essex star Mark Wright, commented: “Congratulations.”
Ollie and Gareth endured heartbreaks over the course of their journey to parenthood.
In 2021 they lost five embryos and last year, Ollie revealed that they had endured another failed round of IVF when their surrogate suffered another miscarriage.
The couple have documented their IVF journey and shared intimate details with their fans on social media and on the hit E4 reality show.
In an episode from 2022, Gareth shared: “This is our third time. You know it's like, 60 percent. 70 percent chance whatever and every time it's like... 'Oh well next time surely it's going to happen’.”
As we now know, the couple have been successful and we can’t wait to meet their twins later this year!
