Love Island's Tyla Carr recently announced she is expecting her first child with boyfriend of nine months, Ross
Now, OK! Magazine can exclusively reveal behind the scenes footage of the gorgeous brunette, who was previously linked to Mike Thalassitis and Jonny Mitchell on the ITV2 match-making show, flaunting her blossoming baby bump during a poolside photoshoot
In the clip, Tyla, 24, can be seen sporting a gorgeous leopard print bikini, as she posed for her recent magazine shoot
The former First Dates star cradled her growing baby bump with one hand as she beamed at the camera, clearly ecstatic about her baby news
With her long tresses styled into a loose beachy plait, mum to be Tyla opted for a minimal makeup look, with a natural smokey eye, just a sweep of blusher on her cheeks and a lick of rosey lip gloss
The Love Island 2017 contestant looked glowing as she showcased her changing physique, after telling OK! Magazine she was "over the moon" to have a baby on the way
Meanwhile, on the shoot, Tyla could also be seen showing off her baby bump in a brighter yellow bikini, where the bottoms were embellished with a blue leaf pattern
As she got out the swimming pool she threw on a flowing white wrap beach cover-up, which lightly clung to her blossoming stomach
Tyla exclusively revealed to OK! Magazine that she found out about her pregnancy just a month after moving in with Ross – and confirmed the happy news with a pregnancy test “in the toilet at Nando’s”
“We stopped for lunch after I bought the test and I couldn’t wait until I got home,” she said
“When I saw it was positive, I ran back to tell Ross – it felt like the longest journey of my life! “I was over the moon but part of me was worried too
We haven’t been together very long and we’d only just moved in together. I started to panic that we had rushed
” Tyla also broke her silence on boyfriend Ross, who prefers to stay out of the spotlight
The duo met nine years ago through a mutual friend, but only started dating nine months ago after running to each other in Majorca
“He’s really happy for me to do my own thing, but he’s very private and has no interest in being in the spotlight,” she said
“It’s really refreshing to be with someone who has no interest in the industry. He has a great job running a logistics company and is a property developer too
