Princess Kate’s brother James Middleton and his wife Alizée Thevenet seemed smitten as they attended Wimbledon today – hours after announcing they were pregnant with their first child.
The entrepreneur, 36, shared a sweet photo of French financier Alizée’s growing bump on Instagram last night.
And today, the 33-year-old mum-to-be showed off her baby bump in a vibrant £185 green dress from Kate’s favorite brand Sezane as they watched the action at Wimbledon.
The couple, who regularly attend the tennis competition, held hands and leaned in to chat during the action on SW19 today.
Alizée looked relaxed with her blonde hair in loose waves over her shoulders as she donned a pair of sunglasses for today’s outing.

Meanwhile, James looked sweet in a cream suit with a khaki green shirt.
It was the low-key couple’s first public appearance since announcing the pregnancy last night.
James shared the news by posting a photo of Alizée in an olive dress with their dog Mable in a beautiful rural setting.
“We couldn’t be more excited…well, Mable maybe,” James wrote, before referring to his rough year following the death of his dog Ella.
“It’s been a very rough start to the year after the loss of my beloved Ella, but we will end the year with the most precious little addition to our growing family.”
The baby will be a first cousin to Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis – and a niece or nephew to the Prince and Princess of Wales. It’s likely that Kate will definitely enjoy being an aunt again, as she’s said many times that she feels “broody.”
James and Kate’s sister Pippa also has three children with husband James Matthews – Arthur, Grace and Rose – meaning the new addition will be the seventh grandchild of Carole and Michael Middleton.
Ella is James’ beloved spaniel, who passed away last year at the age of 15.

To enrol The Telegraph in 2021, James explained that he met Alizée in 2014 at Chelsea’s South Kensington Club when Ella was ‘on her way to Alizée’.
James, who was “embarrassed,” went over to her “to apologize and bring Ella back,” remembering how Alizée thought he was a “waiter” and “ordered her a drink while continuing to pet Ella , who was licking her back at the time. the attention.’
He has previously credited the black spaniel with helping him overcome his mental health issues and introducing him to his wife.
In January 2019, James explained in a personal essay to the Daily Mail how Ella had helped him through his battle with depression.
He wrote, “During the day I would drag myself upstairs and get to work, then just stare at my computer screen with glassy eyes, waiting for the hours to tick by so I could drive back home.
Alizee and James got engaged in September 2019, but had to postpone the ceremony twice due to Covid, before finally announcing they’d tied the knot in 2021 in Provence’s Bormes-les-Mimosas.
James revealed that his wife Alizee is pregnant with the couple’s first child. The entrepreneur, 36, shared a sweet photo of Alizee’s growing belly on Instagram
Alizée, who is trilingual and has lived and worked in London for several years, is currently a director at TreasurySpring, a fintech company that uses digital pipelines to connect money-rich companies with institutional borrowers.
She is the daughter of retired diplomat Jean-Gabriel Thevenet, who lives in Paris and is currently pursuing a career as a writer and poet.
Her father adores his daughter’s husband and previously described Alizée as “deliriously happy” with James.
“My daughter Alizee is very happy with James, they are very much in love,” Mr Thevenet told MailOnline in March 2019 when news of the couple’s relationship first broke.
“James is a very charming man,” he said. “I am very happy that Alizee is with James. I know she is very happy. We keep our fingers crossed for them.’
The financial guru is fluent in three languages and has lived in six countries: Germany, Indonesia, Chile, France, Belgium and England.

But Alizée has been living in the UK for several years, where she graduated with a master’s degree in investment and finance from Queen Mary, University of London.
The couple live in a £1.45 million house in Bucklebury, west Berkshire. The village where Kate, Pippa and James grew up.
Before that, she did her bachelor’s degree in accounting and finance in Brussels. On her Linkedin profile, she describes herself as having a “high work ethic and dedication to success” and “always open to new ideas.”
Alizée has a keen interest in sailing and water sports and shares James’ love of dogs, with the pair often sharing snaps of them with the entrepreneur’s beloved pets.
Her father revealed how his daughter Alizee was named after the subtropical trade wind – known as the Alize in French.
He said, “My daughter was named after my first love, windsurfing and the Alize wind that fills the sails.”
James has previously described how Alizee had helped transform his life after a crippling depression.
They were first seen together at the Henry van Straubenzee Memorial Fund’s Christmas Carol Service at St. Luke’s Church
The following month, they were spotted vacationing in St. Barts along with James’ sister Pippa and her husband James Matthews.
James, the brother of Made in Chelsea’s Spencer Matthews, is the son of David Matthews who owns the Eden Roc hotel on the island.
James and Alizee recently purchased a property in the Berkshire village of Bucklebury for £1.45 million. It is a four bedroom Grade II listed farmhouse with beams and stained glass windows in a village on the outskirts of Bucklebury.
It means Kate’s family are all next door neighbors now, with parents Carole and Michael living in a £4.7million Georgian mansion in the village, while her sister Pippa recently bought Bucklebury Farm Park, a petting zoo that’s a favorite of Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.
