Emily Clarkson, the daughter of former Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson, is expecting her second child with her husband Alex Andrew
Emily Clarkson, the daughter of television personality Jeremy Clarkson, is eagerly anticipating the arrival of her second child with husband Alex Andrew.
The 29 year old influencer and author took to Instagram on Friday to announce the joyous news to her followers, posting a charming video where she proudly displayed her growing belly on a scenic beach, flanked by Alex and their one year old daughter Arlo.
Her caption brimmed with excitement: “Our baby girl is going to be a big sister. So so so so excited to share that we’re expecting another little girl. So much harder to hide this time around. Made harder by HG which has been a huge and hard part of this pregnancy so far. I want to talk a lot more about that, and I will, but for now, here’s our wonderful news. We’re over the moon.”
Alex, celebrating his marriage to Emily, which reached its two-year milestone in May, mirrored her enthusiasm by sharing a snapshot from their beach moment. His caption read: “SO excited to announce we’re expecting another baby girl. Girl gang loading.”
The announcement received an outpouring of support and amassed over 30,000 likes. Among the well-wishers was Love Island’s Shaughna Phillips, who commented: “AHHHHHHH EM! Congratulations to you all. So excited for you.”, reports the Mirror.
Adding to the chorus of congratulations, This Morning’s Ashley James offered: “The best news.”
Fans also shared their heartfelt messages, with one saying: “Oh my gosh! Beautiful news.”
Another expressed their joy: “This is beautiful. So pleased for you all.”
A further admirer chimed in: “Huge congrats Em! Wonderful wonderful news.”
Emily announced the arrival of her daughter Arlo last year with a heartfelt message and a photo from the hospital, saying: “Arlo Rose Andrew. 1/2/23. We’re all doing really well at home and just loving this time hanging out as a family so will be back online in a little bit.”
Her announcement was met with an outpouring of congratulations from her followers.
When Arlo turned one in February, Emily reflected on the swift passage of time, posting: “A day to celebrate a whole year of our little girl. Don’t know how that’s happened since she was born a mere three weeks ago but perplexed as we all are, we’ve had a gorgeous few days of celebrating.”
She also shared her emotional journey, adding: “I didn’t quite anticipate the emotional WRECK that I’d be the night before her birthday, I sat and SOBBED as I fed her to sleep, for all the people we’ve been over the last year, so many versions really known only fleetingly and to each other. Marvelling at how I made her, and she, me. I mourned those early days whilst being simultaneously sure I wouldn’t go back for anything because the versions of who we are right now are just the BEST and I love everything about all of it.”
She further expressed: “The curiosity, confidence, joy, fun, wonderment, adventure, laughter, chaos and mess. It’s all EXACTLY right. But wheeewwwww my heart broke for a little minute there at the realisation that I couldn’t go back, even if I wanted to. So yes the intensity of emotion was a surprise. But the magnitude of this last year made that inevitable. So I sat with a lot of those feelings, not being remotely over dramatic, and was a little bit relieved when we all went to soft play on her birthday and literally nothing was different. I must have just done something I NEVER do, which is overthink. What a year and what a life! Just feeling SO lucky. And pleased as punch with [the] cake.”
