Great! Rhian, who is already 16 weeks pregnant, spent a total of £150,000 on IVF treatment with Oliver over six years
The couple, who are expecting their baby on May 4, admitted there were times when they feared they would never be able to conceive.
Rhian struggled to conceive due to her low egg count and low perimenopausal hormone levels, and only had a three percent chance of conceiving naturally.
The couple turned to artificial insemination and went through seven rounds in six years, at a huge cost of £130,000.
But just before giving up, they performed the treatment one last time and took a pregnancy test nine days later – where she was greeted with the incredible news.
Oliver added: “I was woken up by her shouting, “Oh my God, I’m pregnant!” When I opened my eyes I could see her holding up the test stick and smiling at me. I will never forget the look of pure joy on her face or the happiness and relief I felt inside.”
Rhian revealed that she had been taking several pregnancy tests a day “just to be sure” as the news didn’t feel real yet, she explained.
This comes after she showed off her stunning figure in a series of steamy snaps from a photo shoot with May Contain Girl and Pony Magazine last week.
She looked very busy in a plunging gray bodysuit as she accessorized with leg warmers while sitting cross-legged on a stool.
