Fleur East is expecting her first child.
The X Factor star, 36, announced on Instagram on Monday that she is expecting a baby with her husband Marcel Badiane-Robin.
She shared a stunning photo on Instagram with the sweet caption: “2024 is going to be different,” before being met with high praise from celebrities.
Fleur and Marcel, a fashion designer who has worked with stars including Rita Ora and Jason Derulo, were dating for nine years before he popped the question in their hotel room in 2019 and they married in Morocco in June that year.
They have been together since 2010 and first met at a bar in 2009 when he was working as a waiter, although she was dating someone else at the time. A year later, they reconnected and started dating before tying the knot nine years later.

Fleur gave a rare insight into their relationship when they got engaged in 2019, saying: ‘I said yes straight away! How Marcel did everything was just amazing…
‘We’re in a very traditional Japanese hotel and there were flower petals on the bed and champagne… Then I turned around and he was there, with the ring. He said: “Fleur East, will you be my wife?”
‘I could not believe it. The ring is so beautiful and yellow is my favorite color.’
In June last year, Marcel marked the couple’s fourth wedding anniversary with a beautiful Instagram post paired with a sweet caption.
He wrote: ‘Four years ago I married my best friend. Today, on our anniversary, I am reminded how lucky I am to have such an amazing woman who fills my life with laughter and joy…
‘You are my rock, my confidante and my better half. Here’s to many more years of adventure, growth and endless love together. Happy birthday xxx’.
Their relationship first became public when Fleur took part in The X Factor, with an insider telling The Sun that the pair had ‘secret meetings’ during rehearsals.
