“We are proud to announce Baby Lardakis coming soon,” Shaina gushed in her caption.

"We feel so thankful and grateful that we have been given such a blessing. Our hearts are full!" Shaina exclaimed, adding: "We cannot wait to start this next journey of parenthood together and to meet this little soul!"

The gender or due date of the couple’s incoming arrival has not yet been revealed.

Many of Shaina’s fellow Love Is Blind alum have since taken to her Instagram comments section to send their well-wishes.

“So happy for you guys!!! Sending lots and lots of love,” wrote Alexa Lemieux.

“Aw, congratulations. So happy for you both,” replied Nick Thompson.

Shaina first found fame on Love Is Blind when she got engaged to co-star Kyle Abrams. However, a few days after saying ‘yes’, Shaina called off their engagement and subsequently left the show.

Shaina and Christos’ romance first began in 2021. Around one year later, the couple got engaged in March 2022, and subsequently tied the knot four months later at a courthouse ceremony. 

The newlyweds then went on to celebrate their marriage for a second time, during a beautiful ceremony in Vouliagmeni, Greece.

Fans of Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner have been reacting to the news that the couple are officially getting a divorce.

Rumours surrounding the state of the singer and Game of Thrones actress’ marriage began to brew over the weekend. 

Initially, it was reported by outlet TMZ that the couple, who have two children together, had been heading towards separation for quite some time.

Now, it has been confirmed that Joe has filed for a divorce from Sophie, four years after they tied the knot.

According to papers obtained by US media publications, the Sucker hitmaker submitted an application for divorce at Miami Dade County Court yesterday (Tuesday, September 5).

Following a viewing of the divorce papers, NBC News reported that the 34-year-old’s reason behind the legal separation was that his marriage is "irretrievably broken".

Confirmation of the couple’s separation has come as a shock to many fans, especially after Joe had seemingly given reassurance that the parents-of-two were fine. 

After divorce rumours broke out on Sunday, the Camp Rock actor was spotted on Monday night wearing his wedding ring, as he performed in concert with his brothers Nick and Kevin.

Following the latest developments, fans of both Sophie and Joe have taken to social media to express their sadness at the couple’s separation.

“I cannot process this information,” one fan penned on Twitter.

“Damn. I really enjoyed them as a couple,” another wrote.

Joe and Sophie first crossed paths in October 2016 via Instagram. One year later, the pair were engaged, and they subsequently eloped in Las Vegas in May 2019.

In June 2019, Joe and Sophie chose to celebrate their marriage again, this time with family and friends at a stunning ceremony in France. 

In July 2020, 27-year-old Sophie gave birth to the couple’s first child together, a baby girl. The pair became parents again in July of last year, when their second daughter was born.

Holly Willoughby has spoken out about the ‘difficult’ 12 months that she has had in her career.

The This Morning presenter has faced a number of controversies in recent months, including accusations of ‘queue-jumping’ as the late Queen lay in state last September, and the scandal surrounding the exit of her former co-host Phillip Schofield.

In May of this year, This Morning made headlines as Phillip stepped down from his role, and later admitted to previously having an "unwise but not illegal" affair with a much younger colleague.

Now, a few months after she directly addressed Phillip’s departure to This Morning viewers, the 42-year-old has now opened up about how she has dealt with the past year.

As she attended the National Television Awards in London last night, Holly spoke to OK! on the red carpet, where she took the time to address the recent controversies.

"I know there's been lots of reports about things and for me personally, you know, I don't want to speak on behalf of other people, but it's a world I honestly don't recognise,” she admitted.

The Dancing On Ice presenter continued: "I think that we all look after each other is the honest truth".

Holly concluded her thoughts by addressing the support she had around her, in the aftermath of Phillip’s actions.

“This last year has been quite difficult at times. You know, if I'm really honest, it's been up and down. I think it's been a really difficult year for everybody but what's lovely is you find that people rally around you and, you know, the goodwill is there,” she detailed.

Last night’s NTAs was the first time that Holly attended the ceremony without Phillip by her side. The former co-stars and best friends were usually assured award-winners each year, with This Morning winning the Best Daytime TV gong since Holly joined the show in 2009. 

Last night, This Morning’s 18 year winning streak was ended by The Repair Shop, whose team took home the award this year.

Choosing the perfect round diamond for an engagement ring is a decision that reflects a couple’s unique love story. It’s more than just a sparkling piece of jewellery; it’s a symbol of commitment and the beginning of a lifetime together.

This guide will help you navigate the options available and decide what suits your style and budget.

Choosing Between Lab-Grown and Mined Diamonds 

One of the first decisions couples may face when selecting a round diamond is choosing between a mined or lab-grown stone. Both options have their unique qualities and advantages, and understanding them is key to making an informed decision:

Lab-Grown Diamonds  

A lab-grown round engagement ring is an increasingly popular choice. These diamonds are created in controlled environments using advanced technology, replicating the natural process that forms a diamond. Here’s what you need to know:

  • Quality And Appearance: Lab-grown diamonds are virtually identical to mined diamonds in appearance, hardness, and brilliance.
  • Price: Often more affordable than mined diamonds, lab-grown options can allow you to choose a larger or higher-quality stone within your budget.
  • Ethics: Many couples appreciate that lab-grown diamonds offer a more transparent and controlled origin, avoiding potential issues related to mining practices.

Choosing a lab-grown round engagement ring provides a beautiful and ethical alternative, offering quality, affordability, and peace of mind in alignment with modern values.

Mined Diamonds 

Mined diamonds are formed deep within the Earth over billions of years, and their charisma and traditional appeal continue to enchant many:

Uniqueness: Each mined diamond is one-of-a-kind, with its unique inclusions and characteristics.

  • Value: Mined diamonds often hold their value over time and may be considered an investment.
  • Tradition: Some people prefer mined diamonds to connect to history and the timeless romance they symbolise.

Choosing a mined diamond emphasises tradition and individuality, offering a one-of-a-kind symbol of love that resonates with many couples’ values and aesthetic preferences.

Considerations For Both Lab-Grown and Mined Stones  

Whether choosing a lab-grown or mined diamond, ensure it comes with certification from a reputable gemological laboratory. This certification will verify the diamond’s qualities and attributes.

Your choice between lab-grown and mined stones may also reflect personal values and preferences, such as sustainability or adherence to tradition. By weighing the unique characteristics of lab-grown and mined diamonds, you can align your selection with your budget, values, and desires. Again, it’s a decision that goes beyond mere aesthetics, offering a way to make your engagement ring truly personal and meaningful.

Emphasizing Sustainable Options  

In today’s world, many couples are leaning towards sustainable options for their big purchases. This means considering the stone’s environmental impact and ethical sourcing when it comes to diamonds. Many jewellers offer certifications that ensure the diamonds are sourced responsibly. It extends to reducing harmful mining practices, supporting fair labour conditions, and contributing to community development.

By seeking out sustainable options, couples can align their purchase with their values and make a positive impact. Whether choosing a lab-grown diamond or a mined stone with a transparent and ethical origin, prioritising sustainability adds another layer of meaning to this significant symbol of love.

Evaluating The Four C’s: Cut, Colour, Clarity, And Carat  

When selecting a round diamond, understanding the Four C’s is essential. These characteristics form the standard criteria used to grade and evaluate diamonds. You may start delving into each aspect, so you know what to look for:

  • Cut: When considering a round diamond, the cut is paramount. A well-cut diamond will exhibit a high level of brilliance. Look for cuts rated as ‘excellent’ or ‘very good’ for the best effect.
  • Colour: Diamond colour ranges from D (colourless) to Z (light yellow or brown). While grades D to F are colourless, they can be costly. Grades G to J are near-colourless and typically undetectable once set in a ring. Aiming for a grade between G and J offers a stunning appearance at a more approachable price, balancing beauty and budget.
  • Clarity: Diamond clarity refers to the absence of inclusions and blemishes. Opt for a clarity grade of Very Slightly Included 2 (VS2) or Slightly Included 1 (SI1) to balance appearance and cost.VS2 indicates slight inclusions that are difficult to see under 10x magnification by a trained gemmologist. On the other hand, SI1 means the diamond has inclusions more easily seen under 10x magnification but still may be invisible or barely visible without magnification, depending on the size and placement of the inclusions.
  • Carat: The Carat weight reflects the size of the diamond. The larger a diamond is, the more valuable it is. But remember, bigger isn’t always better. Focus on the overall quality of the diamond, not just its size.

By understanding the Four C’s and considering them in your selection, you’ll be equipped to find a diamond that captures the beauty and essence of your relationship.

Shopping With Confidence 

Take the time to research and compare various jewellers and their offerings. Look for transparent pricing and clear information about the diamonds’ attributes.

Set a budget that feels comfortable. There’s no need to overspend on a ring; what matters most is the thought and love that goes into choosing it. Don’t hesitate to consult with a professional jeweller. Their expertise can guide you in selecting one that meets your expectations and stays within your budget.

Finding the perfect round diamond is a journey that combines personal taste, budget considerations, and an understanding of the qualities that make a diamond truly shine. By following this guide, you’ll be well on your way to selecting a ring that symbolises your love and commitment, reflecting your unique story as a couple. Whether you opt for a lab-grown round engagement ring or prioritise sustainable options, the key is to choose with care and confidence.

Kramer first sat down with her seven-year-old Jolie to tell her she was going to be a big sister again. 

She sweetly said, “Mommy wants to share this just with you right now”, as she explained that the reason why she’s been ‘so sick’ recently is because, “Mommy has a baby in her belly”.

Jolie was clearly overwhelmed with excitement and joy as she kicked and jumped on the bed with glee. 

Jana let Jolie feel her baby bump as she went on to add, “I wanted to share this moment with you because you’re my first and you are just the love of my life”.

“Mommy has a baby in her tummy”, the young girl sweetly told her little brother who cutely approached his mum to give her stomach a kiss.

The little ones then both exclaimed that they’d love to have a little brother, and their wish came true as Jana held a gender reveal party at the end of June to confirm she was having another baby boy.

The reality star, who is best known for her appearances in The Real Housewives of Cheshire, took to Instagram earlier today to share the devastating news. 

Nermina, who is a mum to two-year-old daughter Alaya-Rose, had remained quiet on social media for the past two months.

“I had so many questions. I'm healthy and fit so how is this possible for someone of my age?! But one question scared me the most and it makes me upset even writing it down – ‘will I see my little princess grow up,’” she penned.

Fans have been wondering what Ryan Tubridy’s next career move will be!

The former presenter of The Late Late Show was let go from RTÉ last month, following a lengthy scandal surrounding undisclosed payments.

Before the controversy, Ryan had been hoping to return to his weekday morning radio programme after stepping down from The Late Late Show in May.

Ryan has remained tight-lipped so far about his reason for travelling to London. However, rumours have circulated in recent weeks that the former star has been 'approached by a UK TV channel.'

In comments made to Goss.ie in July, RTÉ’s new Director-General, Kevin Bakhurst, gave his view on Ryan relocating to the UK for work.

“I’ve heard this before from Ryan, I wish him well. If there are opportunities there I wish him well,” he stated.

“It’s a tough market over there. It’s not going to be straightforward but good luck to him if that's what he wants to do,” he added at the time.

Jorgie Porter has bravely opened up about her heartbreaking miscarriage with four babies.

The Hollyoaks star, who is best known for her role as Theresa McQueen, welcomed a baby boy named Forest into the world in November 2022.

However, before the arrival of her son, Jorgie experienced a tragic miscarriage with quadruplets in 2021, just 14 weeks into her pregnancy.

In an interview with Giovanna Fletcher on the Happy Mum, Happy Baby podcast, the actress has now chosen to open up about the heartbreaking ordeal.

Jorgie began by recalling how she and her partner, now-fiancé Oliver Piotrowski, were in “shock” upon finding out they were expecting quadruplets.

“We had to Google everything. By this point, I am so huge – you could see my boobs from the back. My belly was massive already, and I thought, ‘I will just be a vessel,’” she detailed.

The soap star then went on to explain how she was sent for weekly scans because she was at a high risk. Three and a half months into her pregnancy, Jorgie was then told that she would have to undergo surgery for a miscarriage.

“I think [the quadruplets] were sort of developing but then not developing, so it was becoming to the point where later on in the scans, [the doctors] were like, ‘They’ve not gone any further,’” she stated to host Giovanna.

The former I’m A Celeb star went on to recall the couple’s “upsetting” reactions to the news, explaining that their relationship was “tested massively”.

“I was a bit more hard-faced. For Ollie, it was harder,” she admitted.

“He doesn’t like giving up, and that’s in his nature. You know, there was a chance of four, he thought possibly one out of the four [would survive]. Whereas me personally, I was like, ‘It’s all or nothing.’ They’re there together, and they’ll be together,” she concluded.
