‘PS: Drag queens at a baby shower? It’s a big YES from me’.

Rhian and Oliver endured a long journey to conceive and spent over £150,000 to go through eight gruelling rounds of IVF over six years to get pregnant.

In January, Rhian revealed that she is expecting a baby boy, as she admitted it was ‘always my dream’ to have a son.

Speaking to Closer, she said she was ‘over the moon’ and that her and Oliver had already picked out a couple of potential names.

Rhian said: ‘It was always my dream to have a little boy, I don’t know why but I’ve always imagined having a mini football team. 

‘Oliver never said what he wanted, but when we found out it was a boy, he had the biggest smile on his face. We’ve already decorated the nursery and chosen a few names – we like Tommy and George so far.’

She also opened up on her arduous journey to motherhood, admitting she suffered from depression, anxiety, while trying to get pregnant.

She said: ‘I’d dread Mother’s Day or when friends shared news about their pregnancies because it wasn’t working for me. I became brainwashed. 

‘Every time I had my period, I’d be like, “Ugh – I’m not pregnant again”, and felt low for the rest of the month.’

Rhian added that her and Oliver convinced themselves they weren’t going to be able to conceived and ‘started to plan a good life without kids’.

After finally falling pregnant, she gushed that their son was ‘a miracle’ and that she wants to have another child as soon as possible.

She said: ‘I’m loving pregnancy so much. It feels like a miracle and helped to heal my pain. I’ve said to Oliver, “I can’t bear the thought that this is the last time I’m pregnant, we’ve got to go again”. 

‘I do want to try for IVF again to have a second baby. I’m not old by any means, but time is ticking is for me, so I’d want to start soon. I’d love to leave a gap but I can’t afford to wait too long.’
