Mrs Hinch announces she's pregnant with third child - and reveals new baby's gender
Congratulations are in order for Mrs Hinch, aka Sophie Hinchliffe, who has revealed that she is pregnant with her third child. The social media star, who shares sons Ronnie and Lennie with her husband Jamie, announced the exciting news on Instagram on Sunday, 3 November in a heartfelt post in which she showed off her blossoming baby bump.
In the sweet video, which was edited with a black and white filter on top, Mrs Hinch's husband Jamie could be seen painting 'Baby boy #3' on the wall while their sons Ronnie, five, and Lennie, three, added a series of hand prints alongside the message. Towards the end of the clip, the monochrome filter lifted to reveal blue paint on the wall to reference the fact that another boy was on the way.
Captioning the clip, Mrs Hinch paid tribute to her late dad Alan, who sadly passed away in April, as she called her pregnancy a "special gift" sent to the family. "Heaven was too far to visit, so you sent us a special gift from up above. I have no doubt you sent hime to us Dad, to fill our hearts with so much love" ILYF," she wrote. "Ronnie and Lennies Baby brother Our Baby Boy No. 3 Joining us in 2025. The 3 Musketeers. Bring on the absolute carnage boys."

Close friend Stacey Solomon wrote: "I love you. And I'm so happy for this beautiful blessing on all of you. Dad must be beaming." Molly-Mae Hague also commented: "Oh my goodness. I am so so so happy for you."
Meanwhile, Mrs Hinch's 4.8 million followers also shared joyous messages of their own. "Oh stop it this is amazing I'm so happy for you, a little happiness in what's been a horrible year for you," wrote one Instagram user. "Oh my goodness!!! You deserve all the happiness. A very special present sent from up above," another commented.
Mrs Hinch's pregnancy comes seven month after the content creator and TV personality revealed the tragic news that her doting dad Alan had died "suddenly". Mrs Hinch, who had an incredibly close bond with her beloved father, explained that her dad had passed away “peacefully whilst he slept” and opened up about the "deep unimaginable pain" she'd been left with as she navigated her loss.
Over recent months Mrs Hinch has somewhat taken a step back from social media and has only posted a handful of times following the loss of her dad. Back in September she asked her followers for advice as she faced her grief. "I don't understand how we have this grief that's with us all the time," she said. "But when you try and do better you're sort of knocked back on the floor again."
