Abi’s joy: “I feel ready to be a mum!”
ex-glamour model Abi Titmuss is worlds away from her party lifestyle and can’t wait for motherhood
She looked blissfully happy as she walked hand in hand with her new husband, Ari Welkom, on their Hawaiian honeymoon last week.
And now insiders say Abi Titmuss, 41, is feeling like a transformed woman as she waits to have her first baby in September this year.
The former glamour model-turned-tv actress, who left the UK for LA three years ago, announced she was pregnant in April this year before tying the knot a month later in Malibu with Ari – whom she met after joining the cast of American soap Days Of Our Lives.
And friends say Abi couldn’t be happier as she prepares to become a mother and basks in her new marital bliss.
HAPPIER THAN EVER
An insider tells us: “Abi’s on cloud nine at the moment – she’s enjoying every moment of her pregnancy and had an amazing honeymoon in Hawaii, where Ari proposed last year. It was really romantic. They had a private breakfast on their balcony overlooking the ocean every morning. It was amazing quality time before the baby arrives.”
While Abi prefers a quieter life nowadays, she was best known for her wild antics and adorning the covers of lads’ mags in the nineties.
She shot to fame as the girlfriend of former Blue Peter presenter John Leslie, then carved out a successful career in glamour modelling and TV, appearing in Casualty and Celebrity Love Island before moving to the States.
After a sex tape of her and John was leaked to the press in 2004, their relationship ended and Abi later went on to date footballer Lee Sharpe and TV star David Walliams.
AMERICAN DREAM
But after 10 years in the limelight, Abi left Britain in 2014 and successfully re-branded herself as a Hollywood actress. And pals say that former nurse Abi is overjoyed to be living her American dream.
“Abi is so happy about how her life panned out,” says a source. “She’s so glad she made the decision to move to the US and that she waited all this time to find the perfect person to start a family with. She’s already achieved her acting dreams and has told pals she feels fully ready to be a mum.”
HEALTHIER LIFESTYLE
While she was a regular on the London party scene in her late twenties – once admitting that she’d been out every night
on the trot for six months – Abi’s friends now say she has completely ditched booze and adopted a much healthier lifestyle Stateside.
The source adds: “Abi loves her pregnancy curves and takes great care of herself – she usually works out three to five times a week and really pays attention to her diet. She eats lots of organic lean proteins, avocados, nuts, whole grains, fruit and green vegetables.
“She’s also keeping up her fitness levels with Pilates, resistance training, beach walks, spin classes and pregnancy yoga. When the baby’s born, she wants to give herself time with the newborn before she starts getting back into her old routine in the gym again.”
