BREAKING: Love Island's Shaughna Phillips pregnant and says daughter will be 'best big sister'

Former Love Island star Shaughna Phillips has announced she is expecting her second child, delighting fans with the heartwarming news.

The 30-year-old reality TV personality, who first rose to fame on the winter 2020 edition of Love Island, shared the announcement via her social media channels on Sunday morning. Shaughna exclusively told the Mirror: "We're so happy to announce we are adding to our little family. Lucia is going to be the best big sister and is really excited to have a new baby brother or sister arrive later this year."

Taking to her Instagram, the reality star shared an emotional Reel documenting her finding out she was pregnant. The clip saw two pregnancy tests flash 'Pregnant', confirming her happy news, as she struggled to hide her excitement. Elsewhere, daughter Lucia was seen wearing a sweet T-shirt with 'Big Sis' written on the front, while the back was decorated with 'In my big sister era.'

Shaughna later showcased her blossoming baby bump alongside the River Thames as she lovingly placed her hands on the bump while flashing a huge smile. Captioning her social media post, Shaughna wrote: "Adding a little more love to our family..."

The reality star didn't confirm who the father of her second child was as she took to social media to share the happy news with fans. Friends and followers were quick to flood the comments with congratulations and well-wishes, with many fellow Love Island alumni among the first to offer their support.

Shaughna welcomed her first child, daughter Lucia, in April 2023 and has often spoken candidly about her journey through motherhood. While she has largely kept her relationships out of the public eye, she’s remained open about her experiences as a single parent, drawing praise for her honesty and resilience.

Since her time in the villa, Shaughna has built a successful career as an influencer and advocate for body positivity and women’s health. She continues to use her platform to engage with fans and share insights into life beyond reality TV.

Shaughna's former partner, Billy Webb, was previously sentenced to nine years in prison but served 12 months. Throughout this time, Shaughna ensured that Billy and their daughter maintained a close relationship and visited him.

Rather than distancing herself, Shaughna had maintained a steadfast determination to shield her daughter’s relationship with her father. On her podcast Oh Baby! she explained: “Before I was in this position… if you had asked me would I ever, ever take my child into a prison… Absolutely not. And then, lo and behold, I’m now in this position.”

She previously took Lucia to visit Billy in prison, including longer "family days" with decorated communal areas, ensuring he remains part of their lives. Behind the scenes, she has also pleaded for some leniency to ease his punishment, writing to the court on behalf of their child.
