Sophie Piper, former Love Island star, has been forced to deny pregnancy rumors after fans speculated that she might be expecting her first baby with her boyfriend, Josh Ritchie. The couple, who found romance during the first season of Love Island All Stars earlier this year, were at the centre of online gossip after posting some festive photos together.
Fans Speculate After Festive Snaps
Josh, 30, a construction business owner, shared a series of cute snaps on Instagram showing him and Sophie enjoying some holiday fun. In the pictures, Josh was dressed in a grey knit jumper and pale blue jeans, while Sophie, 26, sported an oversized white shirt, jeans, and a chic white Prada bag. The couple looked happy and relaxed, with Josh captioning one photo, “Merry Christmas you filthy animals.”
While many fans gushed over their relationship, others quickly began to speculate that Sophie was hiding a pregnancy. The speculation grew when Sophie’s oversized shirt seemed to suggest a baby bump.
Sophie Claps Back at Rumours
After receiving multiple comments about her alleged pregnancy, Sophie took to her Instagram Stories to set the record straight. She reposted one of the images and wrote, “For everyone saying I’m pregnant, I’m not. The wind was blowing up my shirt LOL, Uncle Fester,” referencing the portly character from The Addams Family known for his oversized appearance.
Fans were quick to defend Sophie, with one follower commenting, “You were wrong, how awks. Now next time maybe wait for someone to announce their pregnancy instead of going by the shape of their clothing.”
