Alex Reid, the former MMA fighter and ex-husband of Katie Price, has welcomed twins with his fiancée Nikki Manashe after a long and challenging journey with IVF. The couple had previously struggled for seven years to conceive, finally welcoming their daughter Anatasia into the world in 2021. Now, they are overjoyed to have added two baby boys to their family.
Throughout their fertility struggles, Alex has been open about their journey to parenthood, sharing their experiences with the public. After enduring multiple surgeries, miscarriages, and countless hospital appointments, the couple can finally rejoice in the arrival of their twins. Nikki describes the feeling of having her babies in her arms as complete and says she never wants to revisit that dark place again.
The twins, who are non-identical, were born prematurely, requiring them to be treated with antibiotics as a precautionary measure. However, they are feeding well and are expected to make a full recovery. It is not uncommon for premature babies to have a higher risk of jaundice, but the couple is confident that their sons will grow strong and healthy.
Alex and Nikki have chosen unique names for their twin boys, naming them Phoenix Bobby and Hunter George. The couple is thrilled with their choice and excited to watch their sons grow and thrive. It is a beautiful moment for the family after enduring years of fertility struggles and health battles.
Earlier this year, Nikki faced a life-threatening situation when her waters broke at just 18 weeks. She subsequently developed sepsis, putting her life and the lives of her unborn babies at risk. Doctors informed her that her babies had only a 1% chance of survival. Nikki’s own history with septicemia, which tragically claimed her mother’s life, added an additional element of danger. However, Nikki persevered and recovered, celebrating the genders of her unborn twins in a heartwarming video.
Nikki, who documents her IVF journey on Instagram under the handle ivf_mama_nikki, became pregnant through IVF after battling health issues and being diagnosed with an autoimmune condition. One of her embryos was from seven years ago, while the other was from her remaining IVF cycles after the birth of her daughter Anatasia.
The arrival of Phoenix Bobby and Hunter George marks a new chapter in Alex and Nikki’s lives, one filled with joy, love, and the fulfillment of a long-awaited dream. Their story is a testament to the resilience and strength of the human spirit, inspiring others who may be going through similar struggles on their own path to parenthood. The couple’s openness and honesty about their journey have provided hope and support to many.
As Alex and Nikki embark on this new chapter as parents to three beautiful children, it is clear that their love and determination have brought them through the darkest times. They can now look forward to building a future filled with precious moments and the joy of watching their family grow.
