Rebecca has been dating Andrew since January 2018 and Rebecca looked back on their romance fondly as she marked his birthday. 

The happy couple met through the Bumble dating app and moved in together last summer, and are now expecting a baby boy. 

In one of the images from her birthday tribute to the hunk, the pair wore sunglasses as the athlete donned a bikini and Andrew gave her a piggy back in the pool.

In another, Rebecca looked stunning in a blue top and cream blazer, smiling widely next to her partner as the sun beamed down behind them.

At the end of last month, Rebecca uploaded a make-up free image of herself cradling her growing baby bump as she touched on approaching her third trimester in the accompanying caption. 

The gold medallist admitted: ‘Pregnancy has kicked my ass today. Feel exhausted yet I’ve done nothing and like I’m going to burst into tears for no reason at all.’

A few days later, she said she experienced the ‘hardest week of pregnancy so far’ after being left unable to walk when she fell down the stairs and injured her ankle. 

The mother-of-one explained she fell down ‘some steps’ on to her ankle during a difficult and emotional week.  

She shared a snap on her Instagram of her swollen ankle propped up with pillows while she watched I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!.

In a caption alongside the picture, she admitted she has been forced to ‘resort to crawling’ after her injury because it is ‘too painful to walk’.

‘It’s now so painful and swollen. Resorted to now crawling as it’s too painful to even walk. @andrewparsons5 thank you for looking after me and dealing with the tears.’ (sic)
