The happy announcement comes 20 months after Jessica and Jenson Button announced the end of their year-long marriage, in December 2015. It is not known who the father of her baby is. Formula One driver Jenson, 37, and Jessica first met in 2008 in a hotel bar, and started dating a few months later. They tied the knot in Hawaii in December 2014, confirming their marriage in a sweet Twitter message on New Year's Eve from "Mr & Mrs Button".
Speaking to HELLO! a short while after their nuptials, Jessica opened up about their "incredible" wedding day. "It was very private and intimate," she revealed. "We wrote our own vows because we wanted to say something that was personal to just the two of us. I designed my own dress – something very simple and modest – and I could hear my sisters crying at several points during the service."
