It's been a joyous year for television's Georgia Kousoulou. The reality TV personality, known for The Only Way Is Essex , is pregnant with a rainbow baby -- a child conceived in the wake of a previous pregnancy loss. Kousoulou had to terminate a pregnancy in April 2023 due to a triploidy diagnosis. On May 23, Kousoulou revealed she and Tommy Mallett had conceived again.
"Our little rainbow baby due December," Kousoulou wrote on Instagram . "Words can't express the emotions we have, we have prayed, wished [and] with a little help it's happened.. I can't thank my team enough [crying emoji] Rehan salim you are the best ivf specialist - I'm so blessed we met you. [And] Michelle my amazing nurse who helped me every step of the way! These guys made my experience with ivf so much better than I could of even imagined . [And] thank you to our Michaela for being there through it all"

To anyone watching who is suffering .. I am with you [and] i know how you feel. I pray this post doesn't trigger you. I know how hard it is seeing announcements. Please know you are not alone [and] please don't give up hope."
The TOWIE cast member discussed the triploidy diagnosis and previous pregnancy loss in a February interview with Mirror . (Per the National Institutes of Health , "Triploidy is a chromosome abnormality that occurs when there is an extra set of chromosomes present in each cell.")

"Triploidy is so rare. There is no survival rate, and the chances are I would have had a stillbirth," Kousoulou explained. "The doctors said 'We need to remove the baby'. So I had to terminate the pregnancy which goes against everything I believe in, but I had no choice."
