Shouting out her partner Kevin, she added: "Kev, you're magic, I love you."
She went on to joke: "Was becoming impossible to hide and if one more person asks me if I've had my t*ts done in LA I'm gonna scream."
Meanwhile, over on Kevin's page, he shared another photo of Stacey from the same shoot, writing: We’re having a baby! And I think my girl @sjdooley looks beautiful pregnant."
Fans and famous friends took to the comments to congratulate the happy couple.
Kev's fellow Strictly dancer Dianne Buswell wrote: "Omg. So exciting congratulations," while reality star Olivia Atwood added: "Omg congratulations."
Dancer Motsi Mabuse commented: "@keviclifton so so happy for you, congratulations," and Good Morning Britain's Susannah Reid commented a series of red heart emojis.
Stacey and Kevin met back in 2018, when they were partnered together for Strictly Come Dancing and went on to win the entire season.
After ending things with her ex-boyfriend Sam Tucknott, Stacey confirmed her romance with Kevin, but the couple have been pretty eager to keep their private lives private.
"Kev and I have agreed not to go into too much detail about our private lives because you can’t really indulge that and then ask for privacy," she told The Guardian in 2019.
"That's why we've turned down interviews that have offered us tens of thousands of pounds."
She added: "What I am happy to say is Kev's amazing, I'm happy, life happens, I've got an amazing career and I'm very lucky."
Previously, Stacey had admitted that she'd love to start a family with Kevin, and was far more interested in that than the prospect of getting married.
During an episode of her show Stacey Sleeps Over, she shared that she wasn't in a rush to tie the knot with the pro dancer, who has been married three times.
"Kev and I have been together for two years," she had said. "I don't think I want to get married. I think I'd be more interested in starting a family than getting married."
