Joy filled social media this week as Gemma Atkinson and her fiancé, Strictly Come Dancing star Gorka Márquez, announced they are expecting their third child — and fans could not be happier for them. The beloved couple, who first met on the dance floor of Strictly back in 2017, have grown from dance partners into one of the UK’s most adored celebrity families. Now, they are preparing to welcome another little one into their already bustling home.
Gemma and Gorka are proud parents to daughter Mia and son Thiago, and their journey through parenthood has been refreshingly honest, heartwarming, and relatable. Over the years, Gemma has openly shared the highs and challenges of motherhood — from sleepless nights to joyful milestones — earning admiration for her authenticity. Gorka, equally devoted, often posts touching moments with his children, giving fans a glimpse into their playful and loving household.
