Arabella previously revealed that she has “always wanted kids”. She told the Daily Mirror newspaper: “I’ve always wanted kids and I feel like it’s just finding the right person.
“I think a lot of people have a lot of pressure on age and I am 33 going on 34 next month. But it was one of those things where I wasn’t going to rush into it until I met the right person.
“At the back of my mind, I thought, ‘I do hope that I find that person.’ But if it didn’t happen, it didn’t happen. But I’m so lucky that it happened by chance.”
