“I'm very happy because I'm pregnant with Marcelo again,” Meirivone told NeedToKnow.co.uk.

“This time we're going to have a girl.

“We really wanted to get pregnant again, Marcelo kept asking when we're going to get another baby, and I said one day.

“There were a couple times I felt nauseous, so I would take a test, but they were negative.

“However, I recently started to get nauseous again, so bought a test from the local pharmacy and it was positive!

“We are so happy.

“We would love to have a little princess.

“We already have a boy, but if the baby turns out to be one too, we will love them just the same.”

Having gone through relationship troubles in the past, the couple are hoping having another baby will strengthen their marital bond.

She said: “Since finding out that he cheated on me, we have been very distant.

“We still live in the same house but it isn't the same.

“But now, because of the baby, things are different.

“Marcelo has been much more affectionate with me and I believe that this will improve our relationship

“This new baby will save our marriage.”
