Love Islandstar Shaughna Phillips fell pregnant with her second child with boyfriend Billy Webb while he was still serving prison time. Billy, who is also the father of her first child Lucia, was sentenced to nine years in prison pleading guilty to conspiracy to supply 4.5 kilograms of cocaine worth at least £360,000. He served 12 months.
As Billy had day releases from the open prison, TV personality Shaughna has been able to enjoy family days out with him over the last seven months. The 30-year-old star only recently announced her pregnancy via her social media channels on Sunday morning. She exclusively told the Mirror: "We're so happy to announce we are adding to our little family.

"Lucia is going to be the best big sister and is really excited to have a new baby brother or sister arrive later this year."
Taking to her Instagram, the reality star shared an emotional reel documenting her finding out she was pregnant. The clip saw two pregnancy tests flash 'Pregnant', confirming her happy news, as she struggled to hide her excitement.
Her daughter was also seen rocking a T-shirt with 'Big Sis' printed on the front. The back was decorated with the words, 'In my big sister era'.
Shaughna later showcased her blossoming baby bump alongside the River Thames as she lovingly placed her hands on the bump while flashing a huge smile.
Captioning her exciting social media post, Shaughna said: "Adding a little more love to our family..." Fans instantly took to the comment section to congratulate the star, with one writing: "So excited for you all. Very proud."
A second added: "Congratulations. What a beautiful blessing." "Ohhh amazing news aww congratulations to you all," wrote a third. A fourth gushed: "So exciting! Congratulations."
Shaughna welcomed her first child, daughter Lucia, in April 2023, with partner Billy and has often spoken honestly about her journey through motherhood.
The father of her first child, Billy, was previously sentenced to nine years in prison but served 12 months in jail. Shaughna made sure Billy and Lucia maintained a close relationship as they visited him.
She admitted she never thought she'd bring a child into prison.
On her podcast, Oh Baby!, she explained: “Before I was in this position… if you had asked me would I ever, ever take my child into a prison… Absolutely not. And then, lo and behold, I’m now in this position.”
