Megan McKenna Announces Pregnancy with Footballer Fiancé Oliver Burke
Former reality TV star Megan McKenna has taken to social media to share some joyous news with her followers – she’s expecting her first child with her footballer fiancé, Oliver Burke.
The 31-year-old, known for her appearances on shows like “The Only Way is Essex” and “Celebrity Big Brother,” expressed her excitement in a heartfelt post on social media. McKenna and Burke, 26, who have been together since April last year and got engaged in June, shared a touching video collage documenting their journey to parenthood.
In the video, the couple is seen sharing tender moments in their bathroom after discovering the positive results of two pregnancy tests. The joy on their faces is palpable as they prepare to embark on this new chapter of their lives together. McKenna’s laughter and smile during an ultrasound further underscore their happiness.
The announcement was met with an outpouring of love and support from friends and fellow celebrities. Towie star Fern McCann and Love Island alum Liberty Poole were among the well-wishers, sending their congratulations and best wishes to the expecting couple.
McKenna, who hails from Barking but grew up in Woodbridge, has had a multifaceted career in the spotlight. From her early days on “Britain’s Got Talent” to her stint on “TOWIE” and subsequent ventures in music and reality TV, she has become a familiar face in the entertainment industry.
Beyond her TV appearances, McKenna has also dabbled in music, performing at prestigious events like Glastonbury Festival and even winning “The X Factor: Celebrity.” However, her journey hasn’t been without its challenges, including health issues that led to hospitalization in November 2023.
Despite the ups and downs, McKenna’s relationship with Burke has been a source of happiness and stability. The Scottish-born footballer, who has played for clubs across Europe, including RB Leipzig and West Brom, popped the question to McKenna last year, and now they eagerly await the arrival of their bundle of joy.
As McKenna and Burke prepare to welcome their first child, fans and followers are undoubtedly excited to witness this next chapter in their love story unfold.
