Dominique Nugent has revealed her pregnancy.
The Irish influencer has confirmed that she is expecting a “rainbow” baby with her husband Paddy.
The couple have previously been open about their struggles with fertility and miscarriage, and have also documented their journey with IVF treatment throughout this year.
Dominique took to social media on Monday to share the heartwarming news of her pregnancy. On Instagram, she chose to share a video montage dating back to 2023, showcasing her telling Paddy about their two previous pregnancies.
The clips then documented Dominique having multiple negative pregnancy tests, before finally seeing her positive pregnancy test with her husband by her side.
In the caption of her post, Dominique went on to reflect on her heartbreaking experience with fertility and baby loss.
“After years of heartbreak, loss and longing, I can’t quite believe I get to write these words and share this news It’s finally our turn ,” she began, before going on to share when she is due to welcome her little one.
“IVF has given us our little Christmas wish and, all going well, our rainbow baby will be coming this summer ,” she revealed.
“These clips hold so many emotions for me. Excitement, hope, the month-after-month disappointment, and the kind of love that keeps you trying again when you don’t know how you’ll get back up after a loss,” Dominique penned.
“I’m still nervous, because I’ve been at this stage before. But today I’m letting myself breathe and share this tiny piece of hope with you all,” she admitted.
“To anyone going through loss, or still longing to hold a baby, especially at Christmas, I’m holding space for you. I know how heavy this time can feel when your heart is still waiting. Here’s to hope, to science and to finally saying the words I’ve waited so long to sa,” she added.
Many of Dominique’s fellow Irish stars have since been taking to her comments section to express their delight for her, with Louise Cooney replying: “Awww dom, so emotional watching! I’m so happy for you both .”
Terrie McEvoy commented: “Bawling You both deserve the world! Huge congratulations .”
Katja Mia added: “This is so emotional I’m so happy and excited for you X.”
On July 24, Dominique opened up for the first time about her experience with IVF.
At the time, she wrote on Instagram: “In the IVF season of our lives right now It’s a road we never expected to walk, but one we’re stepping into with hope and love.
“The past couple of years have been difficult filled with loss, longing, and quiet heartbreak. Losing our baby girl Wynter, at 15 and a half weeks changed everything. Since then, becoming parents has been a journey marked by both pain and deep hope.
“Sharing this doesn’t come easy, but I believe in talking about the difficult topics rather than keeping them to myself. I never spoke about my first pregnancy online until it ended in loss. So this time, I’m choosing openness from the start,” she added.
