The news comes just a week after Cara candidly confessed that she is fearful she will suffer from postnatal depression following the arrival of her new addition. 

The reality star, 28, revealed in an interview with Closer magazine that she has suffered with depression for years now and while she claims she is now much more ‘positive’, worries that could change are ‘always in the back of her head’. 

Cara credited her pregnancy for easing her battle with mental health and revealed: ‘Since I’ve been pregnant, I haven’t had any breakdowns and Nathan says I’m a different person.’

She claimed having a baby feels like ‘the missing part of the puzzle’ and has helped to re-establish her positivity, but she is concerned that she could fall victim to postnatal depression following the birth of her little one. 

Cara explained: ‘I worry about postnatal depression as my hormones will be all over the place, it’s always in the back of my head,’ although she was quick to defiantly add: ‘It if happens, I’ll deal with it.’ 

The brunette beauty, who shot to stardom on the second series of ITV2 dating show where she met Nathan Massey, first spoke of her battle with depression back in September.

Cara revealed that she has suffered with it since her teenage years and now admits it had influenced her split from Nathan in April, earlier this year. 

Fans were left shocked to hear the couple had parted ways and were hopeful that the pair would reunite following news of Cara’s pregnancy.

Revealing her depression had taken its toll on the pair, she said: ‘We’d come out of a crazy reality bubble and, at the time, I was suffering with depression and, in his defence, Nathan had no experience of being around someone with a mental health problem.’

She had spoken of her experience with depression in an interview with Reveal magazine, where she revealed on her darkest days, she would ‘lock herself in her bedroom and sit and cry’.

Cara explained it had been triggered by her appearance on Love Island and being catapulted into the public eye: ‘Nobody trains you for how intense it is and you are constantly being judged. 

‘I don’t believe there’s anyone who isn’t bother by what people say about them. 

‘I really wish I’d have spoken to someone about it at the time because I didn’t know how to deal with it and I didn’t feel like me any more.’  

Nathan, meanwhile, has vowed to be by Cara’s side and ‘holding her hand’ when the pair welcome their child, a baby boy, in the weeks to come, but he has admitted he ‘doesn’t have the stomach’ to watch her give birth.

Speaking last month ahead of their reunion, he said: ‘I’ve got to give it to her, she’s blossomed now she’s pregnant. We’re getting on as friends really well.’

He added that he is letting Cara have the final say when it comes to choosing a name for thier tot, as he claims: ‘She’s going through all the pain, she’s carrying the little sod’. 

Speaking about baby names, Nathan said the brunette beauty deserves to make the final decision on the moniker their son will have because ‘she’s going through all the pain, she’s carrying the little sod’. 

He and Cara had appeared on The Only Way Is Essex to discuss her upcoming due date, having made several cameos on the ITVBe reality series since winning Love Island in 2016. 

Speaking to his best pal Tommy Mallet, and the godfather of his unborn child, Nathan told him: ‘It was a bit of a rocky start but me and Cara are getting on. We’re friends at the moment.

‘We don’t want to push anything or rush anything and we’re getting on better as friends, out of each other’s pockets, taking it slow.’

Cara, meanwhile, told Amber Dowding and Georgia that the pair would be co-parenting ‘like Scott [Disick] and Kourtney [Kardashian]’.

She explained: ‘We’re not together but we’re friends, a little flirt every now and then. He said I look nice pregnant, really womanly.’

Speaking about the due date, Cara added: ‘I want a water birth and I’m gonna get him some Speedos so he can jump in the bath with me.’
