Nicola Roberts recently reflected on her eventful year, sharing a heartfelt message with her followers. The Girls Aloud star, who celebrated her 40th birthday last year and is now expecting her first child, emphasized the importance of not letting anyone rush you, regardless of your age.
In a post on Instagram, Nicola recounted the significant changes in her life over the past few months, including landing her first lead role in the West End, discovering her pregnancy, and reaching the milestone age of 40. Despite the whirlwind of events, she expressed gratitude for being exactly where she had hoped to be.
The singer acknowledged that 2025 had been full of surprises but emphasized the value of being on one’s own timeline and not succumbing to external pressures. She concluded by wishing everyone a Happy New Year and expressing her appreciation to her long-time event organizer, Sarah, for orchestrating a memorable birthday celebration.
Among those showing support in the comments was Nicola’s former bandmate Kimberley Walsh, who shared five red heart emojis. Nicola recently announced her pregnancy, eight months after confirming her engagement to footballer Mitch Hahn, 36.
The couple, who confirmed their relationship publicly in 2022, shared the news of their pregnancy on Christmas Day, revealing they are expecting their first child in the spring. Nicola and Mitch have been inseparable since their engagement, with their relationship blossoming during a romantic outing at Elton John’s British Summertime performance in Hyde Park.
Last year, Nicola made a surprise appearance at Brighton Pride wearing her engagement ring, hinting at Mitch’s proposal during a vacation in the South of France.
