Love Island's Hayley Hughes reveals she's expecting second child with mystery partner six months after getting engaged

Love Island star Hayley Hughes has revealed she's pregnant with her second child.

The reality starlet - who appeared in the 2018 series of the dating show - took to Instagram on Saturday, her 30th birthday, to share the joyous news. 

Alongside a gallery of snaps showing her sonogram, Hayley penned: 'the best birthday gift I could wish for, soon to become four….'

Hayley has never publicly revealed her partner's identity but she shares a two-year-old son Cody with him, and announced she was engaged in December. 

The family are based in Dubai.

Hayley was immediately inundated with congratulations from her fellow Islanders, including Georgia Steel, who penned: 'Awh congratulations angel!!! How magical'; and Rosie Williams, who commented: 'My girl… congratulations to you and your beautiful family!!'

Hayley welcomed her first child with her mystery partner in August 2024. 

Alongside snaps of her newborn son, she wrote: 'You are everything & more than we could have ever imagined my precious boy. I can't believe you are ours to love forever. my little family of 3.' 

Six months ago, she announced her engagement, showing off her gigantic ring and penning: '12/12 – my forever love. I love you so much.' 

She had been treated to a lavish meal by her future husband, with the private dining area covered in white rose petals. 

After the special moment they watched fireworks over the Dubai skyline as she shared a sweet snap of her partner doting on their little one.

Hayley found fame on season four of Love Island where she dated Eyal Booker before recoupling with Charlie Frederick.

However, her time in the villa was short-lived and she was given her marching orders after 13 days. She later had a seven-month romance with DJ Tom Zanetti before they split.

While brief, Hayley's Love Island stint was memorable, with the reality star going viral after she confessed to not knowing what Brexit was, expressing her fear it would lead to the UK having to cut down their trees. 

Following the gaffe, she was invited onto BBC's Daily Politics, and given the chance to quiz journalist Adam Fleming alongside Brexiteer Nigel Farage and Remainer Alastair Campbell.

Her hilarious appearance on the show began with her saying: 'I do care about it I just don't have an understanding, so hopefully Adam will learn me more.'

She then asked the expert: 'In a nutshell, what is Brexit?’

After Fleming explained that the term referred to Britain leaving the EU, she dug a little deeper, asking: 'How will it affect my life and everybody else’s?’

At this point, Campbell waded in, saying 'badly, very badly' while Farage seemed bewildered by her lack of knowledge.

Hayley also pitched the question on everyone's lips as she said: 'Yeah I understand. I've got another question - will it make things more expensive?'

As Hayley appeared wearing a sported a sheer lace backless top with skin-tight white jeans, the suited commentators beside her confessed that they knew little about Love Island.

She asked Fleming: ‘Who’s your favourite couple in Love Island?’

He replied: ‘I’ve lost track of who’s coupled up with who...'

But Campbell said he knew ‘absolutely nothing’ about the show and Farage said: ‘I haven’t been a fan but it seems like quite a lot of fun.’

Campbell then brandished a copy of the pro-EU New European paper at the model, who said she wanted ‘younger people to have more of an understanding about Brexit’, adding: ‘Since I got to learning about it I actually find it really interesting.’

Insiders told Daily Mail before the show aired: 'Hayley is like many young people who do not know about Brexit and the impact it could have on her life. She is going to be questioning a Brexit expert in Brussels over the important questions'.

Following Hayley's shocking admission about her lack of knowledge surrounding the subject, the sources went on: 'She will find out how it would affect her day to day.

'Hayley isn’t shy and although people may find this an odd choice of show for her to appear on - she is keen to explore and has a genuine interest in finding out more and all about Brexit'.
