Another comment read: ‘Omg massive congrats to you both! ! You two are gonna be the best parents’; ‘OMG, massive congratulations to you both! !’.

After her post, Ciara confessed that she can ‘finally’ start posting her holiday snaps now that she has made her announcement.

Ciara is currently on holiday in Faliraki with Coleen, who has shared sweet updates from their trip on Instagram.

Coleen is already a grandmother to two children. In 2016, her eldest son Shane Jr welcomed a daughter named Amelia before her son Jake became a father to a little boy in 2024.

The latest family news comes after Max popped the question during a holiday in Vietnam last year. 

Ciara posted a photo of the couple holding hands as she showed off her new engagement ring and revealed Max proposed during a late night boat ride. 

‘This happened last night xxxx’ she wrote alongside a photo of the ring. ‘It was like a fairytale and I can’t wait to spend forever with you @maxxiness I love you xxx’. 

After the news, Coleen shared a photo of the happy couple to her Instagram and wrote: ‘Well what can I say… I’m so so delighted that @maxxinnes has asked my beautiful girl @ciarafensome to marry him.

‘I love them both sooooo much. Miss them even more! Can’t wait to see them. Off to buy a hat.’ 

Coleen was inundated with congratulatory messages from people wishing Ciara and Max well.

Her Loose Women co-host Denise Welch wrote: ‘”Good news Coleen congratulations to them both.’ 

Coleen shares Ciara with her second husband Ray Fensome, who she divorced from in 2018. The star is also mother to Shane, 36, and Jake, 32, from her first marriage to Shane Richie. 

Coleen revealed in January that Ciara had gone travelling with no set return date. 

Discussing ‘Empty Nest Syndrome’, the former singer admitted to her fellow panellists Ruth Langsford, Janet Street-Porter and Linda Robson that she has been struggling to cope with the huge family change.

Coleen said: ‘They’ve worked really hard and saved up and I’m so proud of them both and her, but honestly, I just can’t stop crying…

‘But I’m trying not to do it in front of her because I’m thrilled and I’m proud because what an amazing thing to do. But it’s like losing my best friend.’ Janet then stunned the panel by demanding Coleen ‘grow up’.

Ruth pointed out Coleen will find hard to get used to her daughter’s absence as Ciara helps ‘run her life’.

Coleen agreed: ‘She is the mother of the house. My son text me the other day and went, “This is going to do you good mum because you need to grow up”‘.

The Blackpool-born star went on to explain that Ciara not only gives a massive help around the house, but she also does a lot of the cooking – easing the workload at home while her mum gets ready for her one-woman tour.

‘It’s just very stressful. Empty Nest Syndrome is real!’ Coleen admitted emotionally.

But Janet quipped: ‘Just speaking for her, she’s got to be allowed to live her own life.’

‘Oh she is being allowed. I don’t have to like it, Janet,’ replied Coleen, with Janet remarking: ‘I know you don’t like it but you have got to grow up a bit Coleen. I never thought I’d say those words. But you have got to manage by yourself.’

Coleen said on Loose Women she had been struggling to cope with Ciara being away

Although Ciara had already moved out of the family house in October last year, the Loose Women star found it harder to cope with her daughter’s oversea trip. 

A source previously told New!: ‘Coleen has always tried to be a hands-on mum, even when she and her sisters were touring during The Nolans’ heyday, she always wanted them around. She even toured while she was pregnant with Jake…

‘Coleen’s once bustling farmhouse does feel empty without her children…

‘But she’s not alone in feeling like this. Her nephew Danny, her sister Maureen’s son, has moved to the States with his family, so Coleen and Maureen are in the same boat. They’ll be supporting each other, despite their busy schedules.’
