Heiress Tamara Ecclestone announces First Pregnancy

Tamara Ecclestone has announced that she is pregnant with her first child.

The heiress confirmed her baby news just over three months after marrying stockbroker Jay Rutland.

She told Hello: "I just feel so lucky. I never imagined this all happening so quickly. It's crazy how life works in such mysterious ways.

"Jay loves children and I'm really excited for the next phase of our relationship."

Rutland added: "It's been an amazing year, meeting and marrying my beautiful wife.

"Now we are expecting our first child and looking forward to the next step together."

The daughter of Bernie Ecclestone continued: "I think you can spoil a child with love rather than showering them with materialistic things. I want to do all the things my mother did. She always put us first and encouraged us to follow our dreams.

"Mom was thrilled, as was my dad. He loves babies."

Tamara Ecclestone married Rutland on the French Riviera back in June, with guests including Sir Elton John, Jason Statham, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Paris Hilton, Sean Connery, Nicola Roberts, Princess Beatrice and Sarah Ferguson.
