She first became pregnant after a course of antibiotics made her birth control pills ineffective. The early seasons of the show often featured her in heated arguments with her now-fiancé, Jordan.
But things are going much better for her and Jordan these days, and she has happily announced that she and her future husband are expecting their second child.
In a video about TikTokshe referred to “anyone announcing their pregnancy,” before turning to the side and showing off her baby bump in a tight dress.
She also took part in Instagram to share a video of her pregnancy test, which came out positive.

There is also footage of her first ultrasound and the moment she and Jordan told their son Marley that he was going to be a big brother.
When he entered the room and saw a basket full of goodies on the bed, including a sweater with the words “Proud Member of the Big Brother Club” written on the front, he put his hand over his mouth and gave his mom and dad a big hug.
He then pointed sweetly to his mother’s belly, to which Chloe nodded before kissing her tummy.
The video ended with the reveal of the snapshot the couple took during the ultrasound.
“March 2025 at the latest,” Chloe captioned her video.
She was soon inundated with congratulatory messages from fans, with one coming from the official Teen Mum UK account, which read: “Congratulations again!
“Marley is so cute, he will be the best big brother!”
“What a beautiful video,” said another.
“Marley is going to be the best big brother!”
“It’s the way Marley kissed your belly,” a third commented.
“Congratulations!”
“I’m so happy for you guys,” someone else said.
Statistics of teenage mothers in the UK
Since 2007, the number of teenage pregnancies in the UK has fallen significantly…
The percentage of conceptions under the age of 18 has fallen significantly since 2007, reports show Nuffield Trust.
Between 2007 and 2021, the conception rate among women under 18 in England and Wales fell by 68%, from 42 per 1,000 women to 13 per 1,000 women.
This resulted in 13,131 pregnancies under the age of 18 in England and Wales in 2021.
“I love this so much.. congratulations,” wrote another.
Chloe announced her pregnancy after previously telling Fabulous about the vicious abuse she received from internet trolls when she founded Teen Mum UK.
“Jordan and I would get into fights and people would either take his side or mine,” she said.
“They said nasty things about both of us, or said, ‘children will have children.’
“I’ve had comments like ‘kill yourself’ and ‘you should have gotten rid of Marley.’
“These come from accounts with no profile picture, no followers. They say the worst.”
