Towie couple announce they are expecting second baby after shock split and secret reunion ngocc

FORMER Towie star Shelby Tribble and Sam Mucklow are expecting their second child together.

The couple shared their happy news this evening alongside a picture of their baby scan, and wrote: “Baby Number 2 coming soon.”

Their famous friends and family were quick to comment on the news.

Sam’s sister – the newly single Billi Mucklow – remarked: “So excited to be an auntie again! Love you all.”

Lauren Goodger commented: “Congratulations guys.”

While Chloe Meadows added: “Love you, so excited.”

The pair welcomed their first child, a son called Abel, into the world in 2020 but split in 2023.

They delighted fans when they quietly reunited earlier this year.

Both Shelby and Sam joined the show in 2018, and started dating in October of that same year - just one month after he'd split from former flame and co-star Nicole Bass - and their rocky romance was heavily documented on the programme.

However, they both quit partway through the series the following year, with Sam returning home from Marbella early and refusing to film any more scenes.

He explained that he and Shelby had decided to leave the show due to the "pressure and anxiety" it put on their "fairytale" relationship.

Since leave the show, Shelby has returned to a 'normal job' and is now a beauty clinician.
