And despite Karen previously admitting that "things got really nasty overnight" after she became "jealous" for not getting enough attention from Kevin, it appears the former couple are now on much better terms.
After Stacey shared a photo of her baby bump on Instagram, Karen – who married Jordan Wyn-Jones in a "fairytale" wedding in June – was among the first to congratulate her and Kevin.

While the couple are excited to be parents, they are in no rush to marry, with Stacey previously joking that she won't tie the knot with Kevin – who has been married three times – because he would "end up divorcing her".
During an episode of Stacey Sleeps Over, she said. "I don't think I want to get married. I think I'd be more interested in starting a family than getting married.
"I can't think of anything worse than being a [traditional wife]," she added: "I would be useless, completely and utterly useless. He'd divorce me in a heartbeat."
