At the time Ollie announced their surrogate had miscarried, he said, "After a difficult year, a little bean growing inside the best person you could ever imagine was the most wonderful early Christmas present we could ever have imagined.
“Through the course of nature, at 6 weeks and 2 days it stopped growing and had gone.”
Ollie went on to say that this “is not going to be the end of the road”, adding the couple have “some wonderful plans" as they continue on their journey to fatherhood.
But it's a case of third time lucky for the pair as their surrogate's twin pregnancy comes after their third round of IVF.
Ollie and Gareth, who married in 2020 after a 2018 engagement, aren't the only celebrities to have rainbow babies, Chrissy Teigen and John Legend welcomed their rainbow baby earlier this year.
And fans are delighted with Ollie and Gareth's news.
