She also posted a picture of herself and fiancé Maxx Innes proudly displaying their baby scan in a photo booth. Ciara, 24, captioned her post: "One of me is cute but two tho? Baby Innes pending.."

Congratulations" alongside a red heart emoji. Another comment read: "Omg massive congrats to you both! ! You two are gonna be the best parents, while another well-wisher added: "OMG, massive congratulations to you both! !". Later, Ciara updated her Instagram Story to tell her 17,300 followers that she can "finally" start posting her holiday photos following her announcement. She's currently on holiday in Faliraki with her mum, who has been sharing updates from their trip on social media. This joyous news comes just over a year after Ciara got engaged to Maxx. In April 2025, a thrilled Coleen shared a photo of Ciara and her fiancé in a romantic pose, confirming her daughter was officially off the market. "Well, what can I say....I'm so so delighted that @maxxinnes has asked my beautiful daughter @ciarafensome to marry him," Coleen wrote at the time. "I love them both soooo much. Miss them even more! Can't wait to see them. Off to buy a hat x," she wrote, ending her post with a crying laughing emoji. Coleen's post was met with a flurry of congratulations from her celebrity friends. "Congratulations @ciarafensome," Loose Women co-star Denise Welch penned. Charlene White quickly chimed in with "congrats! ! !" and Kelle Bryan added, "Such lovely news." Despite divorcing Ciara's father Ray in 2018, Coleen, who also shares two sons with ex Shane Richie, has maintained a close friendship with him. The ITV star, who has yet to comment on the baby news, is already a grandmother to two children. In 2016, her eldest son Shane Jr welcomed a daughter named Amelia. Then, in November 2024, her son Jake became a father to a little boy.

Richard Hughes WILL finalise deal for £65m star - even if he doesn't know it yet

Richard Hughes WILL finalise deal for £65m star - even if he doesn't know it yet Liverpool were already a force of nature to be reckoned with in the transfer market before Richard Hughes became the club's sporting director, but now it seems the Reds have gone up a level. This summer's transfer business has been nothing short of remarkable so far, leaving the fans in awe of what they're seeing. By all accounts, the recruitment team still have plenty more up their sleeve. Advertisement Being the first club to trigger Jeremie Frimpong's release clause was a stroke of genius, signing Florian Wirtz for £100m plus £16m in ambitious add-ons and then getting £10m for Trent Alexander-Arnold to leave a month before his contract expired. These are just incredibly brilliant deals. And then we have the 'Here We Go' for Jarrel Quansah to join Leverkusen for £35m (including add-ons), which makes him the German club's record transfer. Embedding a buy-back clause into the deal made it a no-brainer. If he fails, we have £30m; if he excels, we have priority to sign him again. Now, the Reds might be on the brink of yet another piece of shrewd transfer market business. © IMAGO Guehi to Liverpool is just a matter of time Liverpool are reportedly interested in Marc Guehi - the Crystal Palace captain, who is a centre-back with vast experience. Despite having an extensive reputation, the Englishman is just 24 years old and he would help the Reds fill the homegrown hole left in the squad after Quansah's departure. Advertisement However, the player is in demand. Last season, Newcastle made a £65m bid for him which was declined and Tottenham also made an approach of £55m plus £15m in add-ons, which was also dismissed. Palace are unlikely to be helping Guehi pack his bags to move to Merseyside. But the situation this year is very different to last. He now has just one year left on his deal and contract talks are uncooperative. It is will understood that he will leave, either this year or next. As such, Liverpool are in a position to be a little bit cheeky with their approach. Claims of £30m might well be short of the mark, but £50m including add-ons might well suffice. After all, he's an extremely talented player who could replace Virgil Van Dijk in the long-term after 2027. One thing for sure is that Liverpool will get him if they want him. That much shouldn't be in doubt.
