KAREN Hauer has revealed how she feels about her ex-husband Kevin Clifton having a baby with Stacey Dooley following their announcement on Friday.
The Strictly Come Dancing star was married to Kevin for three years before they shocked fans by announcing their split in 2018.
However, they continued to work alongside each other on the BBC show before Kevin’s departure in 2020.
And despite Karen previously admitting that she became “jealous” for not getting enough attention from Kevin, it appears the former couple are now on much better terms.
After Stacey shared a photo of her baby bump on Instagram, Karen – who married Jordan Wyn-Jones in a “fairytale” wedding in June – was among the first to congratulate her and Kevin.
She sweetly commented: “Congratulations! So happy for you both,” followed by a red heart emoji.

Stacey and Kevin – who met on Strictly in 2018 and went on to win the series – each shared their happy news on their respective Instagram accounts.
In the post, Stacey can be seen cradling her blossoming bump.
Kevin was first, writing: “We’re having a baby! And I think my girl Stacey Dooley looks beautiful pregnant.”
A short while later, the TV presenter posted a Polaroid snap of Kevin’s photo and announced: “We are having a baby! So bloody delighted.”
Celebrity friends and fans were quick to comment, with Dianne Buswell writing: “So exciting congratulations.”
Kevin’s former dance partner Susanna Reid added a string of red heart emojis.
While the couple are excited to be parents, they are in no rush to marry.
Stacey previously joked that she won’t tie the knot with Kevin – who has been married three times – because he would “end up divorcing her”.
During an episode of Stacey Sleeps Over, she said. “I don’t think I want to get married. I think I’d be more interested in starting a family than getting married.”
