After years of heartbreak, setbacks and raw honesty played out in the public eye, Gemma Collins has finally delivered the news fans have been praying for: 2026 will bring both a baby and a wedding.
The 44-year-old reality icon confirmed the double joy in an emotional New Year’s Eve post, raising what she called her “final glass of champagne” before stepping into motherhood — and a new chapter she once feared might never come.
A MIDNIGHT MOMENT THAT MEANT EVERYTHING
Celebrating at London’s luxury hotspot The Ned alongside fiancé Rami Hawash and close friends, including DJ Fat Tony, Gemma looked radiant as she rang in the New Year with purpose — not just party.
Sharing glamorous snaps on Instagram, she wrote the words that stopped fans scrolling:
“YES I’m getting married this year and YES I’m having a baby.”
For Gemma, it wasn’t just a celebration.
It was a declaration.
A moment years in the making.
A LONG, PAINFUL ROAD TO THIS POINT
This announcement carries extraordinary weight for Gemma, who has spoken candidly for years about her fertility struggles.
She has previously revealed:
-
A low AMH hormone count, meaning a reduced egg reserve
-
A diagnosis of PCOS, impacting ovulation
-
Three devastating miscarriages
Her first loss came in 2012 — a trauma she kept private for eight years, later revealing she heartbreakingly went through it alone at home, unaware she was pregnant.
Two further losses followed in 2020, including one during the Covid lockdown and another later that year with former partner James Argent.
She has also bravely spoken about being advised to terminate a pregnancy involving an intersex baby — a chapter she has described as deeply traumatic.
Through it all, Gemma never stopped believing.
EVERY PATH TO MOTHERHOOD CONSIDERED
After struggling to conceive naturally, Gemma openly discussed surrogacy, and even fostering, inspired by her own mother’s childhood.
Now a devoted stepmum to Rami’s seven-year-old son Tristan, she has said that role only strengthened her desire to expand their family — and her New Year message suggests that dream is finally within reach.
THREE WEDDINGS… AND FULL GC GLAMOUR
In true Gemma Collins fashion, the wedding plans are anything but modest.
The couple have already revealed they are planning:
-
A main UK wedding
-
A destination ceremony abroad
-
A smaller, intimate celebration for close family
And yes — multiple wedding dresses are already on the cards.
Because if The GC does anything, she does it big.
HEALTH, HEALING AND A FRESH START
Alongside her fertility journey, Gemma has also been candid about her health transformation.
She’s lost 3.5 stone, dropping from a size 26 to a size 20 after using the weight-loss injection Mounjaro, though she temporarily paused treatment after suffering a painful gallbladder attack last summer.
Now microdosing at a low level, Gemma insists she isn’t chasing perfection — just balance.
“I don’t want to be stick thin,” she’s said.
“I just want to be healthier.”
Her focus now is clear: wellbeing, stability, and preparing for motherhood.
A TOAST TO HOPE
As 2026 begins, Gemma Collins is no longer just surviving — she’s finally living the future she fought for.
After years of pain, patience and perseverance, The GC is raising her glass not to what she endured…
…but to new life, lasting love, and a happy ending she never gave up on.
