Speaking previously to OK! magazine, Tina said: "Until Paul I hadn’t really met a man I wanted to have children with.
"I’m 40 this year so there was a part of me that was worried I might have left it too late, but thankfully that wasn’t the case."
On the possibility of marriage, Paul explained: "Before Tina got pregnant we were considering flying to Las Vegas to tie the knot, just the two of us. Things have changed now we’re having a baby – we’d want him or her to be there."
