Lydia Bright has opened up on being a single mum.
The former The Only Way Is Essex star, who is expecting her first child (opens in new tab) has talked about her feelings on becoming a single mum.
Posting a sweet picture on her Instagram page of her sunbathing in Ibiza reading parenting book The Mindful Mother, the mum-to-be wrote: ‘Our first holiday together Dinky 🎀
‘Ps. Thanks for the new boobs 🍉 🍉 #18weekspregnant #Nearlyhalfway 👏🏼’.
Fans flooded the post with supportive messages towards the 29-year-old, who revealed her pregnancy just last month, with one writing: ‘Super happy for you. You have all the support you need with such a tight knit family that you can do this with or with out him. This baby is going be so loved. You will be a great mommy ❤️’.
Another added: ‘You look stunning, beautiful and ready to take on a new and exciting adventure. Enjoy every moment and look after your lovely self as much as possible. You are a beautiful lady and deserve all the best of everything ❤️ x’.
However, one wrote a heartfelt comment that prompted Lydia to respond, opening up about her feelings on becoming a single mother.
After one fan commented: ‘It’s kinda sad really. Not you. Just the whole relationship thing. The picture is almost perfect. Great to just relax and enjoy a beautiful island. You look amazing,’ the expectant mum replied: ‘I believe there is no point stressing over something you can’t change. I have so much to look forward to and so much to be positive about, what ever will be will be’.
The TV star is expecting her first child with ex-boyfriend Lee Cronin, who she split from earlier this year.
She wrote on Instagram earlier this year: ‘Sometimes relationships don’t work out but having time away to reflect on how lucky I am in my life, what I have achieved and who I have around me fills my heart with so much love.
'Sometimes the hardest thing and the right thing are the same’.
