The singer expressed her mounting excitement, adding: 'Feeling more and more excited by the day. Sending love to all the mumma's to be. Especially the first time ones xxx.' This heartfelt message resonated with many followers, highlighting Nicola's connection with fellow expectant mothers.
Celebrity Support Floods In
The post quickly garnered supportive comments from Nicola's famous friends. Sugababes star Keisha Buchanan responded enthusiastically: 'I love this sooo much.' Welsh singer-actress Lucie Jones added: 'You look beautiful mate! So exciting x,' while Denise Van Outen simply posted a string of heart emojis.

Previous Health Challenges
This joyful update comes after Nicola faced health setbacks earlier in the year. Back in January, she revealed she had been forced to withdraw from her West End role in the musical Hadestown due to a necessary surgical procedure.
Playing the goddess Persephone at London's Lyric Theatre, Nicola expressed deep disappointment at having to miss her final week of performances. In an emotional social media statement, she explained: 'Today, I have learnt that I have to undergo a small surgical procedure and have been informed by my doctor that as a result, I will be unable to complete my final week of Hadestown shows.'
She emphasized that while the situation was 'upsetting' and 'completely out of my control,' her health was the priority, noting: 'Everything is okay.' Nicola praised her castmates and audiences, describing the role as 'a dream come true.'
Joyful Announcement History
Nicola first shared her pregnancy news in a touching Christmas Day Instagram post. She revealed she was five months pregnant at the time, with a due date set for spring. The singer wrote: 'Mitch and I have had the most magical Christmas Day sharing the most precious news with our families. We've been keeping a secret. We are five months pregnant! We can't wait to meet our little one in the spring x.'
The couple's engagement, which occurred one year ago during a romantic trip to the south of France, was celebrated publicly when Nicola showed off her impressive diamond ring on stage at Brighton Pride in summer 2024. Their relationship continues to blossom as they prepare for parenthood.
Following the Christmas announcement, celebrity congratulations poured in, with Rochelle Humes calling it 'the best news ever' and Jessie Ware adding her warm wishes. Laura Whitmore also congratulated the couple, reflecting the widespread happiness for Nicola and Mitch.
As Nicola Roberts approaches motherhood, her openness about both the challenges and joys of pregnancy has created a relatable narrative for fans worldwide. Her latest update reinforces the excitement building around this new chapter in her life.
