MEGHAN’S BABY SURPRISE!

Meghan is said to be thrilled there’s a baby coming into her life sooner rather than later – Woman’s Day can exclusively reveal that her half-brother Thomas Markle Jr is expecting a baby with his fiancee Darlene Blount next year.

Thomas – who already has sons Tyler, 27, and Thomas III, 25, from a former relationship – is the son of Meghan’s father Thomas Markle Sr.

It’s believed Darlene, 37, is four months pregnant, bringing hope to a family that’s seen its fair share of troubles. In January, Thomas, 51, was arrested for allegedly holding a gun to Darlene’s head while intoxicated. Charges were dropped when she refused to testify against him. Meghan and her family were horrified, says a source. “But blood is thicker than water and this will be her niece or nephew.

“She does worry about how the royals see her American family, but thankfully they’ve been very accepting of her even with her skeletons in the closet.

“They’re just delighted to see Prince Harry has found the love of his life at last.”

Darlene is said to be around four months along.

Meghan loves her best friends’ kids and often posts pics of them.
