    Vanessa White is pregnant and engaged

    The Saturdays star stunned fans on Monday (10.11.25) when she took to Instagram to share a series of photos showing off her baby bump and diamond ring from Emmanuel Lawal, who she first started dating in 2020.


    She captioned the post: "There's a V and E in love (sic)"

    Vanessa was inundated with congratulatory comments, including from her former bandmates.

    Una Healy shared a string of heart emojis and wrote:" Congratulations".

    Rochelle Humes commented: "Congratulations my girl."

    Frankie Bridge wrote: "The best [heart-eye emoji] why in my head are you still too young?! You look beautiful V xx (sic)"

    Rochelle's husband, JLS singer Marvin Humes also shared his well-wishes, as did a number of other stars.

    Marvin wrote: "Congratulations [heart emoji] (sic)"

    Former Little Mix singer Leigh-Anne Pinnock commented: "Oh my goodness congrats beauty [heart-eye emojis] (sic)"

    Girls Aloud's Nicola Roberts wrote: "Awww V suits you. Congratulations gorgeous girl xxx (sic)"

    Sugababes star Keisha Buchanan offered a string of heart-eye emojis and added: "Omg congratulations beautiful (sic)"

    Her bandmate, Mutya Buena added: "Omg congratulations sis (sic)"

    Former Pussycat Dolls singer Ashley Roberts offered five heart emojis and wrote: "Omg Ness!!! Congratulations."

    Vanessa and Emmanuel first sparked dating rumours in August 2020 when they were seen together in Marbella, Spain, and made their relationship Instagram official in December that year.

    They split in 2023 after "growing apart", but reconciled after almost a year apart.

    At the time of their break-up, a source told The Sun newspaper: "Vanessa and Emmanuel struck up a relationship during lockdown and quickly got close.

    "At one point they were getting serious.

    "They spent all their time together, and went on loads of glamorous holidays.

    "It seemed like a match made in heaven.

    "But earlier this year they began to grow apart and decided to go their separate ways.

    "Vanessa has been throwing herself back into music and spending time in the studio, pouring her feelings into creativity."
