Towie’s Mario Falcone reveals his wife is pregnant and expecting baby number two after tragic miscarriage
TOWIE’S Mario Falcone has revealed his wife Becky is pregnant and expecting their second baby following her tragic miscarriage.
The reality TV star, 34, spoke to his sister Giovanna Fletcher on her Happy Mum Happy Baby podcast, alongside their other sibling Giorgina, where he broke the joyful news.
He told how their third round of IVF had been successful and that make-up artist Becky is currently 16 weeks pregnant.
It came after Mario and Becky wed in a stunning Italian ceremony this summer.
Mario’s brother in law Tom Fletcher, who is married to his sister Giovanna – who won I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! in 2020 – was best man.
During the podcast, Mario opened up on his mental health and teased: “Even now, with the next baby that’s coming,” to which they all cheered.
Mario continued: “This baby that’s coming, we had IVF.
“That was a really really … I had this thing in my head when we were tying for baby two, we had this added pressure we were letting Parker down.
“He’s so ready for a sibling – when he comes home from his cousins and he loves being there, he says ‘why haven’t I got a brother or sister?’.
“That literally kills you as you’re like I can give you anything you want as my son, but this is the one thing I actually can’t give you.”
Mario spoke openly about how Becky had an embryo implanted but suffered bleeding at seven and eight weeks, before ultimately suffering a tragic miscarriage.
He added: “That was probably the hardest thing we had to deal with in our relationship.
“It’s a disappointment of yourself, because we got really excited about telling our families at Christmas, we had little cards made that unfortunately arrived the next day, and then telling Parker – but we hadn’t told him on that one.”
He told how he and his wife agreed that they would “take a break” from trying to get pregnant and enjoy their upcoming wedding.
The pair’s wedding was delayed by years due to Covid. They were originally meant to marry in May 2020.
Mario explained how after the wedding, they picked up their fertility journey, and told the podcast their second round of IVF had completely failed.
Yet in a happy update, he said: “This time, the third time, it has worked.
“She will be 16 weeks when this goes out.
“It’s been nice because this time everything has felt different. It has felt like we’ve got to relax.”
Back in 2018, Mario became a first time dad to son Parker when Becky gave birth to their son.
