Girls Aloud singer Nicola Roberts has shared joyous news this Christmas, revealing she is expecting her first child with fiancé Mitch Hahn. The 40-year-old pop star, known for valuing her privacy, announced the pregnancy on social media, marking a new chapter after a past marred by a distressing stalking case.
Christmas Pregnancy Announcement
Nicola Roberts took to Instagram on Christmas Day to share her exciting news with fans. The singer confirmed she is five months pregnant, with the baby due in the spring. She described sharing the news with their families as "the most magical Christmas Day."
The announcement comes after the star confirmed her engagement to semi-professional footballer and accountant Mitch Hahn last year. The couple, who are both based in the UK, went public with their relationship in June 2022 while attending an Elton John concert in London's Hyde Park.
A Look Back at Past Relationships and Heartache
Before finding happiness with Mitch, Nicola Roberts experienced significant personal challenges in her romantic life. Her most serious relationship prior to her engagement was with Charlie Fennell, which lasted six years before ending in late 2013. The couple, who lived together in Weybridge, Surrey, amicably split after their relationship reportedly "fizzled out."
However, the most troubling chapter involved ex-boyfriend Carl Davies. Their relationship, which began in 2007 and lasted 18 months, ended with Davies being convicted of stalking Nicola in 2017. He received a 15-month suspended sentence and a lifetime restraining order after bombarding her with thousands of threatening messages over four years.
Nicola underwent a year of trauma therapy following the ordeal. In a 2020 interview, she expressed profound disappointment when the Crown Prosecution Service initially dropped further charges against Davies for breaching the order, calling it "extremely unfair." Davies was later sentenced to two years and eight months in prison in 2021 for making death threats to a TV presenter.
Finding Happiness with Mitch Hahn
Nicola's life took a positive turn when she began dating Mitch Hahn. The 36-year-old, who plays for Essex football team Grays Athletic, has been described by insiders as Nicola's "soulmate." Despite keeping their relationship largely off social media, the couple have been spotted at several events, notably where Nicola showcased a dazzling engagement ring.
The couple's decision to start a family fulfills a long-held desire for Nicola, who spoke about wanting "masses" of children as far back as 2011. Her journey to motherhood, following past trauma and a lengthy, private courtship, marks a significant and celebratory personal milestone for the pop star.
