Emily penned on TikTok and Instagram: “I’m quite simply over the moon to share that we have a baby on the way.
“I’ve never been more excited for a chapter in my life.
“Family means so much to me and I still can’t believe I get to start one of my own with my fiancé(!!).
“Feeling overwhelmingly grateful and honestly just crazy excited to be a mom.”
Fellow influencers flooded her comments section with well wishes.
Molly-Mae’s sister Zoe Rae penned: “Congratulations Darling!”
Love Island’s Tasha Ghouri wrote: “Congratulations angel.”
Emily is in a relationship with entrepreneur Mark Herrema, co-founder of sustainability company Newlight technologies based in California.
She previously dated Busted singer and guitarist James Bourne, 41, for four years.
But The Sun revealed they’d split in 2023 and stopped following each other on Instagram, with Emily cropping up on celebrity dating app Raya.
A source told us at the time: “James and Emily have called it quits and are each happily moving on with their lives.
“James has been non-stop with the tour and managing his time between the UK and his place in LA.”
They pair had an age difference of 14 years, and began dating in 2018.
Emily made a name for herself on Youtube after quitting school due to cruel bullies.
To avoid feeling alone, she started uploading videos on YouTube and said her mental health has dramatically improved ever since.
Speaking to the Mirror, she said: “I love being in front of the camera, I love presenting.
“I’m going to be on YouTube for the rest of my life, regardless of what I do next, YouTube will be my forever thing.”
Now the school-drop out enjoys red carpet events, jetting around the world on luxury holiday she has bought for her family, and has even brushed shoulders with Prince Charles through work.
She was made a L’Oreal make-up ambassador.
She said: “I was bullied when I was younger, then at secondary school there was cattiness and bitchiness – and because I didn’t want to be involved, I was isolated. That’s why I removed myself from the situation.”
Emily ended up studying for her A-levels at home, and it took her six months of making videos before she had the courage to upload to YouTube.
By January 2015, Emily was vlogging full-time and living in London, with her parents saying they would pay for six months on her rent and then she would have to fund herself.
It took her two years to make money from YouTube and she bought and sold items online to pay her way until this point.
Her first £60 was from advertising and she was baffled that something that brought her so much joy could be a money-maker too.
She now makes her income through sponsored posts, affiliate links and brand mentions.
However, she went through a very public break-up with YouTuber Jake Boys in February 2017.
The pair split after three years when Emily found he had been “talking to lots of other women.”
She began dating Busted’s James after a year of friendship and previously spoke about their age gap.
She said: “I was like well I don’t know what this is, there is a large age gap between us.
“I wanted to know his intentions before absolutely anything so, it was a friendship for quite a while before anything turned into anything.”
