Pregnant Shaughna Phillips breaks silence on baby's father ahead of giving birth

Pregnant Shaughna Phillips has broken her silence on her mystery boyfriend ahead of giving birth.

The Love Island star, 28, who is due in March, has so far kept mum about her baby daddy - but fans want to know who he is.

Taking to Instagram during a Q&A with the influencer, one of Shaughna's followers asked: "Why are you so closed off / secret when it comes to your boyfriend and love life? You don’t share much."

Responding to the so-called mystery, the mum-to-be replied: "It’s my boyfriend’s personal choice to not be posted on my social media so I respect it.

"Whether he changes his mind in the future I don’t know.

"But for now he would rather not and that’s okay with me, he doesn’t have any social media at all! I guess I make up for the both of us."

Shaughna was then asked if her child would be on social media with the influencer confirming she had planned to share pics of her baby.

She said: "Truthfully, I don't really know the answer. As it stands, I plan on sharing pictures of my baby, but that could change once the baby is here."

Shaughna revealed her pregnancy in October by posting a video of her ultrasound on Instagram.

The photo was labelled "Shaughna and Billy's baby" as the TV star captioned the post: "Our greatest chapter yet…"

The happy news went down a storm with Shaughna's showbiz pals as Geordie Shore's Vicky Pattinson commented: "Omg!!! Congratulations beautiful girl."

Shaughna's best pal and fellow Love Island alum Demi Jones, also replied, gushing: "I’ve rewatched this like 50 times. I love you so much. I’m so happy and proud of you!!!"

The mum-to-be announced she was expecting her first child days after collapsing at the National Television Awards.

Shaughna first discovered she was pregnant in August, just days after she had returned from Majorca for the Love Island final and was left speechless.

However, she revealed she had no idea about her pregnancy and went through several tests to make sure she hadn't "read it wrong".

Following an eyelash appointment, Shaughna revealed the only signs were her desire to sleep, with the model's lash technician confirming that was something she also experienced during pregnancy.

Speaking about sharing the news with her boyfriend, who she has been with since 2020, Shaughna told OK! Magazine : "He was working so I rang him and I was like, 'Are you on your own?' He was like, 'Yeah...' I said, 'I'm pregnant,' and he was like, 'OK, alright then.'

"I think it took him a minute for it to sink in. It was just a complete shock for both of us."
