Love Island star Connor Durman reveals he’s going to be a dad for the first time as his girlfriend shares pregnancy
LOVE Island’s Connor Durman has revealed he’s going to become a dad for the first time to a baby boy.
Connor, 30, announced the exciting news in a joint Instagram post with his girlfriend Ella Newton today.
A video montage, layered against Sydney Rose’s Turning Page, saw the eyelash technician well up as she filmed herself reading a positive pregnancy test.
Other clips showed her undergoing an ultrasound scan and having her tummy cradled by Connor.
They also filmed their loved ones receiving the happy news.
In a gender reveal involving a blue-dyed cake, Connor and Ella gasped as they discovered their child’s sex too.
They wrote in their caption: “Our little surprise due 2025… Can’t wait to meet you baby boy.
“@_sayitwithcake thank you for our beautiful cake.”
Connor’s Love Island co-stars showed their support in the comments, with Callum Jones writing: “Love it for you both, double shot of espresso in his bottle.”
Finley Tapp added: “Congratulations to you both mate.”
The post was also liked by Jess Harding.
The Naked Barista founder appeared in the first ever winter edition of Love Island in 2020.
He formed a couple with Sophie Piper – whose sister is Rochelle Humes – with them agreeing to stay together when he was dumped from the island.
They even survived together for several months outside the villa and planned to move in together but broke up after lockdown hit.
A source told The Sun at the time: “Things just fizzled out. They never even went official.
“It just didn’t have a chance to get started because of lockdown and they both agreed it was better to just stay friends.”
Just months after the breakup, Connor began dating Ella and they’ve remained together for over three years.
