Kendall’s Love Island alum Claudia Fogarty, Joanna Chiamonides and Tasha Ghouri were also among the people sending congratulatory messages. 

Kendall’s pregnancy was a stressful time for the couple as she previously told how she was ‘high risk’ for having a baby early due to medical reasons.

She also explained to her 746,000 Instagram followers that she has experienced terrible morning sickness.

In a Q&A on her Story, one fan asked her how far along she was exactly and she responded: ‘I’m not going to say exactly how far along I am for a couple of reasons.

‘People get so fixated on the date for medical reasons because I have in the past had a few treatments and operations which can make me high risk for having a baby early.

‘Fingers crossed everything is going to be alright and I can carry to full term, that’s the dream. I’ve done four months.’
