Former X Factor winner Alexandra Burke has announced she is pregnant in a surprise Valentine’s Day announcement.
The 33-year-old singer shared the news on Instagram that she and West Ham United star Darren Randolph are expecting their first child together.
She revealed the news to her 243,000 Instagram followers on Monday.
Alexandra uploaded a minute-long clip of her and the West Ham goalkeeper, 34, looking very much in love as they took a dog walk together, took selfies and hugged as she held her stomach.
The caption read: “Due date June 2022”.
Commenters wished the couple well with singer Dionne Bromfield responding: “Ahhh!! Congratulations to you both”.
JLS singer Oritse Williams said: “Congrattssss.”
Model Munroe Bergdorf wrote: “Congratulations angel x”
The pair went public with their relationship in May 2021, when the singer shared a picture of them together on a “date night” at the Japanese restaurant Roka.
A source told The Sun at the time: “It’s early days and Alexandra has deliberately taken things incredibly slowly.
“They’ve had a series of dates but not been able to meet up as much as they would have wanted due to her hectic work schedule and the Covid restrictions.
“Alexandra was extremely reluctant to date another footballer but Darren is the sweetest, most down-to-earth guy — and incredibly charming. He wore her down.’
The couple appeared together at the Dune premiere in London last October, walking the red carpet together.
Alexandra won X Factor in 2008, and went on to record three UK number one singles.
She appeared on Strictly Come Dancing in 2017 and came second in the ballroom dancing competition.
