Ryan Giggs’ pregnant girlfriend Zara Charles shows off her blossoming bump in comfy jeans as she heads out for a shopping trip in Manchester

Ryan Giggs’s pregnant girlfriend Zara Charles showed off her blossoming bump as she stepped out in Manchester City Centre on Thursday. 

The lingerie model, 36, and the retired Manchester United footballer, 50, who have been in a relationship since 2021, announced in April that they are expecting their first child together.

For the blonde beauty’s outing, she looked radiant as she cut a casual figure in a simple white T-shirt and beige Hermes sandals. 

She was seen toting a cream handbag and black sunglasses while concentrating on her mobile phone. 

To accessorise, Zara kept it simple with a pair of chunky gold hoops and a simple gold necklace.

Ryan already has two children, a son, Zach, 17, and a daughter, Libby, 19, from his 10-year marriage to Stacey Cooke. 

Zara also has a daughter from a previous marriage. 

Insiders claim Ryan’s ex wife Stacey – who divorced him in 2017 – has also given her blessing as well as their children. 

‘Ryan was nervous about what his kids would think but they’ve got to know Zara over the last few years and really like her’,  a source told The Sun. 

‘They’re happy because they know he’s happy.

‘But they’ve joked that he might struggle with the early mornings and lack of sleep. 

‘Ryan and Zara are thrilled at the prospect of becoming parents again, they have a very solid, loving relationship and are building a long-term future together.’

Another source told the publication: ‘Stacey approves of Zara.

‘Her and Ryan have been through a lot but they have moved on and she’s only interested in him being happy, because that makes him a good dad to their kids. There is no animosity.’

Stacey and Ryan divorced in 2017 after it was revealed he had been having an eight-year affair with his brother’s wife, Natasha.

Members of his family cut ties with him when the news broke, his dad saying he was ‘ashamed’ of his son while his brother, Rhodri, made headlines appearing on a Paddy Power advert mocking the former Manchester United man.

The marriage survived the affair – as well as Ryan cheating with Big Brother star Imogen Thomas – but they separated in 2016.

According to Leiper Gupta Family Lawyers, the divorce could have cost Ryan £20million, but the pair’s lawyers said they remained ‘firm friends’.
