Ryan Giggs’ pregnant girlfriend Zara Charles shows off her bump while leaving a beauty salon in Cheshire as she prepares to welcome her first child with the footballer

She’s set to welcome her first child in a matter of weeks.

And Ryan Giggs’ pregnant girlfriend Zara Charles offered a glimpse of her growing bump as she departed a hair salon in Cheshire on Thursday.

The mother-to-be, 36, opted for a tight white T-shirt and black cycling shorts as she departed the salon following a two-hour appointment.

Zara showed off her laid-back pregnancy style as she teamed her outfit with a pearl-studded denim jacket.

She finished her look with flat tan leather sandals, and a straw cross-body bag.

This will be Ryan’s third child, as the football ace already has son, Zach, 17, and daughter, Libby, 19, from his 10 year marriage to Stacey Cooke, while Zara has a daughter from a previous marriage. 

The baby is supposedly due later in 2024, with a source telling The Sun: ‘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.’

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

A source told The Sun: ‘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. 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, 50, 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’.

Ryan and Zara’s exciting news comes after the former footballer returned to work as Director of Football at Salford City, the club he co-owns, after being cleared of assaulting former girlfriend Kate Greville in 2023.
