Pregnant Mrs Hinch says baby was sent as tribute by dad six months after death
Last night Mrs Hinch announced she is expecting her third child.
British OG home-fluencer Sophie Hinchliffe is pregnant with another son who she believes was “sent to her” by her late father, Alan.
The 34-year-old’s father passed away ‘suddenly but peacefully’ in April this year, leaving the social media star in ‘deep, unimaginable pain’.
She has been significantly less active on her 4.8 million follower strong Instagram page following the heartbreaking news.
However, last night she paid tribute to her father Alan as she announced the news of her third pregnancy.
She wrote: “Heaven was too far to visit, so you sent us a special gift from above.
“I have no doubt that you sent him to us, Dad, to fill our hearts with so much love.
“I love you, daddy.”
The mum-of-two added that baby number three will join the Hinch clan in 2025 and will call her children “the three musketeers”.
“Bring on those absolute bloodbath boys,” she joked.
Mrs Hinch shares sons Ronnie, five, and Lennie, three, with her husband Jamie.
Her Instagram announcement has attracted millions of comments from well-wishers, celebrities and fans alike.
“Oh my god,” said mother-of-one Molly-Mae Haag.
“I am so very happy for you.”
“The best news,” joked radio host Kate Lawler.
“I think your father wanted to heal your heart.”
When did Mrs Hinch’s father die?
ON May 8, 2024, Sophie revealed that her beloved father had passed away ‘suddenly, yet peacefully’.
Her father actually passed away on April 25, 2024, but his grieving daughter waited until she was ready to share the sad news with her fans.
In April 2023, Sophie revealed how she took a break from social media after her father ended up in hospital.
She said at the time: “My dad is in hospital at the moment guys. My father has never been blessed, shall we say, with fantastic health – of his chest, his lungs, his heart.
“He’s always had a hard time, you know.”
She heartbreakingly added: “I just want him to be happy.”
“Congratulations to your beautiful family, what a blessing,” wrote Shaughna Phillips, mother of one and Love Island alumni.
TOWIE star Billi Mucklow commented that it was “wonderful news”, as did Big Brother star Lateysha Grace.
Mrs Hinch also asked for tips from other boy mums.
She added in the comments of her post: “Thank you so much everyone.
‘Are there mothers of three boys here?
“Please send me your tips and tricks.
“I can’t wait.”
