The reality stars, who have been together since 2022, took to social media to share a sweet video announcing the happy news.
Sophie and Jordan looked more loved-up than ever as they hung a bauble on their Christmas tree which read: 'Merry Christmas Mummy and Daddy. See you in 2026.'
In the video, it began with the couple wrapping a present last year and placing it under their Christmas tree.
They wrote: 'Last year, Sophie and Jordan clutched onto an old wives' tale, carefully wrapping a baby blanket and placing it under their tree, in the hope that 2025 would be their year.'
The video transitioned to the pair dressed to the nines in a glamorous figure-hugging red dress, showcasing her baby bump and Jordan wearing a tuxedo as they danced by their Christmas tree.
In January, the couple pulled out all the stops as they threw a star-studded gender reveal at Three Rivers Golf & Country Club in Cold Norton.
The pair were joined by their reality TV pals for the celebration, including James Argent, Lauren Goodger and Charlotte Dawson.
Sophie and Jordan looked happier than ever as they revealed they are expecting a baby boy during the show-stopping event.
