Jade Goody’s widower Jack Tweed has revealed he is going to be a father, after announcing his girlfriend Ellie Sargeant is pregnant, 15 years after his first wife’s death. 

Jack, 36, tied the knot in a very emotional wedding ceremony with Jade – who was 27 at the time – a month before she died from cervical cancer in March 2009.

Before her cancer diagnosis, the couple had been expecting a child, but the Big Brother star tragically suffered a miscarriage.

Now 15 years later, Jack joyfully revealed on Tuesday that he will finally become a dad, with his long-time partner Ellie, 30, currently eight weeks pregnant.

The couple met in 2022 through mutual friends in Essex, and went public with their relationship in September of the same year.

Jack gushed that he had always wanted kids and said he believed that Jade would have been ‘buzzing’ for him, because she had always thought he would be a great father.

He was stepfather to Jade’s two sons from her previous relationship with Jeff Brazier – Bobby, 21, and Freddie, 19, but admitted that he had always wanted children of his own.

But despite the joyous news, Jack confessed that the loss of his first child with Jade still weighs on him.

Speaking to The Sun, he said: ‘Obviously that was horrible, because I obviously loved Jade to absolute pieces, and I was so excited we were having a kid together. 

‘And have, like, a proper family, cos obviously I know we had Bobby and Freddie, but they wasn’t my kids. I still treated them like my own kids, but it just felt like it was complete in the family sort of thing.

‘And then obviously it didn’t happen, so, yeah, it was not a very nice time. So it is a bit scary to think something like that could happen again. Hopefully not.’

He described how Ellie had told him the news, explaining she had given him a box with a babygrow that read: ‘I love my Daddy’.

Jack said he was ready to embrace a new chapter in his life after suffering from depression and turning to alcohol after Jade’s death.
