Married at First Sight UK star Jess Potter has announced a “miracle” pregnancy after years of fertility struggles.
The star, who appeared on the reality series in 2022, has been open about her struggles with IVF in the past but shared a new post confirming that she’s expecting a baby with her partner Tom.
In the Instagram montage, she can be seen emotionally telling Tom and her loved ones that she’s expecting.

“After almost 3 years, 3 failed IVF cycles, 4 losses, and hundreds of injections… Our journey has been filled with heartache, hope, and resilience,” Jess wrote.
“But today, we’re overwhelmed with gratitude to share with you: Our miracle babe arriving July 2025! This little heartbeat is proof that dreams do come true, no matter how long the road may be.
“Thank you to everyone who has supported us along the way. For anyone still waiting, we see you, and we’re holding space for your story. With love, Jess & Tom. A special mention to @fertilysis whom without none of this would be real.”
In a follow-up Instagram Story, Jess shared some more information for fans, promising she would do a more in-depth video over the weekend.

The reality star confirmed she was 12 weeks and three days into her pregnancy and due on July 26, revealing they don’t know the baby’s sex is yet and have decided to wait until they’re born to “have it as a surprise”.
She continued: “And this was all natural conception, not IVF. We were meant to actually have IVF like this week, but we cancelled it obviously. But it was just on the immune protocol from Fertilysis, which I’ll go through again with everyone when I do a more in-depth video.”
Jess has since received a host of congratulatory messages in the comments, with fellow MAFS star April Banbury writing: “Congratulations beauty so happy for you.”
“No way amazing babe well done so happy for you both,” added Lara Eyre, while season 6 star Tayah Aveling shared: “Omg Jess this gave me goosebumps and tears to my eyes!! Couldn’t be happier for you, what a journey you’ve been on!”
