Scarlett Moffatt Announces Pregnancy with Second Child After Heartbreaking Fertility Journey
Scarlett Moffatt has joyfully revealed that she is expecting her second child with fiancé Scott Dobinson. The I’m A Celeb star, 35, shared the exciting news in an emotional video on Monday night, where the couple expressed their overwhelming happiness as they prepare to welcome another baby into their family.
In her heartfelt announcement, Scarlett wrote, “We honestly can’t believe we’re writing this… After everything, we feel unbelievably lucky to be able to say… our family is growing.” She also shared the joy of their son Jude, who will soon be a big brother, and declared, “We are so grateful, so excited, and still a little bit in shock… Our hearts are fuller than we ever thought possible.”
The news follows a long and difficult fertility journey for Scarlett, who had previously opened up about the emotional challenges she faced in her attempt to expand their family. Scarlett and Scott had experienced a heartbreaking miscarriage in late 2024, which left them devastated. Just last week, Scarlett shared the emotional pain of the loss, explaining how they mourned the child they had imagined.
“After Jude was born, we tried again and got quite far on and miscarried,” Scarlett recalled, breaking down in an interview during I’m A Celeb. “It is hard. It’s awful. You imagine them running downstairs at Christmas together. You mourn the life you imagined.”
Despite the devastating loss, Scarlett and Scott found strength in each other, with Scarlett admitting she initially questioned whether they could continue trying for another child. However, they persevered and, just over a year later, are now preparing for a new chapter.
In her pregnancy announcement, Scarlett also reflected on the birth of their son Jude, recalling the difficulties of his early arrival at just 35 weeks, and how he faced health challenges including jaundice and hypoglycemia. She expressed immense gratitude for the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at Durham hospital, who supported her during that difficult time.
Scarlett’s path to motherhood has not been easy, but her openness about her journey has inspired many. Now, as she and Scott prepare for their second child, their hearts are filled with love and hope for the future.
Fans have flooded her social media with congratulations, celebrating this new miracle. Scarlett and Scott’s growing family is a testament to their strength, resilience, and the power of love.
The couple, who got engaged in 2023, are set to tie the knot next year, and with another little one on the way, their family’s future is brimming with excitement.
