Chloe Goodman: “I can’t wait for my baby girl to arrive!”
of a name yet – I think we’ll just wait until we meet her.”
And reflecting on her pregnancy body, Chloe says she’s embracing her pregnancy curves, but has been baffled by her odd cravings.
“I’ve gone from 8∂st to 10st, which isn’t too bad. I don’t fit into my old jeans, so I’ve been wearing stretchy stuff,” she says. “I’m not a big drinker but, weirdly, my first craving was for alcohol! For the first three months, I was craving wine, so I kept buying a non-alcoholic version!”
EXPECTING TOGETHER!
She adds that she’s found her increased breast size – going from a C to an F – difficult, and while she hasn’t been a fan of surgery in the past, admits she may consider a breast reduction after giving birth. She says, “I’ve struggled with my boobs. They went enormous really quickly and I’m worried about how they’ll look after the birth and breastfeeding. I’ve never had my boobs done, but they could probably do with a nip and tuck afterwards.”
Chloe – who made a name for herself as a glamour model, and worked as a body double for Cheryl in her L’Oréal adverts and for Cameron Diaz in the film The Counsellor – met fiancé Grant, 27, when he moved in next door to her parents’ home in Brighton. The footballer – who captains London football team QPR – proposed earlier this year at Chloe’s gender reveal party, and Chloe says he is excited to become a dad for the first time.
She says, “It’s always been so natural with us. The proposal was mental – I didn’t have any idea! We’ll decide on the wedding after the baby is born. Grant can’t wait for our baby girl to arrive. I feel like all men want a boy.
He was just happy as long as the baby was healthy, but I reckon she’ll become a daddy’s girl now possibly. We can’t wait. This will be a firstborn for both of us.”
It’s certainly been an eventful pregnancy for Chloe. Earlier this month, she revealed she’d been the victim of a terrifying burglary at her and Grant’s £1.8m home before Christmas – days after the operation on her cervix – with the intruders making off with £20,000 worth of their possessions. She said, “Had I not been pregnant I probably would’ve coped better, but things were already up in the air with my pregnancy being high risk... My anxiety has gone through the roof. I was terrible for weeks.”
Chloe insists that, despite being engaged to a footballer, she doesn’t want to be called a WAG. “I go and support Grant as much as I can,” she says. “But I don’t get involved in the WAG world. I’m too busy working – I’ve never met any of the other WAGs.”
Chloe’s older sister, Lauryn, 29, is also expecting with footballer Kyle Walker, who split with his long-term partner Annie shortly after the news surfaced.
Chloe says, “I’m booked to have [the stitch] removed before I go into labour. I’d been pregnant before and I lost it. I was the only person I knew who’d gone through a missed miscarriage, which is when your body doesn’t recognise that you’ve lost the child, so I was carrying for quite some time before we found out.”
Despite the drama, Chloe says it’s been great being pregnant at the same time as her sister, and reveals she can’t wait to raise their babies together. She adds, “There are three weeks between mine and Lauryn’s due dates – it’s nuts! It’ll be the first set of grandkids, too. She’s enjoying her pregnancy and it’s nice we’re doing this together. She’s having a gender reveal soon, but whatever she’s having, we’re blessed.”
