Oti Mabuse is a mum of one<\/p>\n
Former Dancing On Ice<\/a> judge Oti Mabuse<\/a> has hinted she could be ready to grow her family. The 34-year-old star and husband Marius Lepure, 41, welcomed their first child together in 2023<\/a>.<\/p>\n The tot, whose name has not been publicly revealed, was born prematurely and suffering with an infection. She had to spend six weeks in intensive care. Oti, who had been diagnosed with gestational diabetes at 28 weeks, also experienced complications after the birth as she contracted sepsis<\/a>.<\/p>\n However, despite the difficulties endured with her first child, the former professional dancer has confessed it could be time to expand her brood.<\/p>\n Speaking to The Express<\/a>, Oti said: “I would love to have more children, I\u2019ve never shied away from that. I think it’s a matter of time and obviously if God allows it. Only God will say no is the right time, but yes, I would love to grow my little family.”<\/p>\n And she also touched on life as a working mum, admitting she is still figuring out the best way to “juggle” her responsibilities. Oti continued: “I’m still finding it. Planning is something that we find really, really important and it really, really helps, but I think it will be a lifetime struggle.”<\/p>\n Her openness comes after she spoke candidly about her situation while in the I’m A Celebrity<\/a> camp. It left husband Marius weeping<\/a> after watching his wife\u2019s tears in the Jungle.<\/p>\n “It moved me\u2026I definitely was crying with her,” he said at the time as he flew out to meet her. “I know how real she is and how much she always tries to keep it together, so I felt it with her.\u201d<\/p>\n Shortly after his arrival, Oti and Marius along with their daughter embraced in a touching moment before leaving the ITV<\/a> show.<\/p>\n And in December, just before Christmas<\/a>, Oti has shared a heartfelt post on Instagram<\/a> to mark a year since the duo brought their baby girl home from the hospital for the first time. The caption read: “One year ago today, we brought our baby girl home from the hospital, and it still feels like a dream.<\/p>\n “After weeks of incredible care from the midwives at UCLH (thank you doesn’t even cover it), she was finally ready – breathing on her own, eating on her own, and at the right weight.”<\/p>\n She went on: “I remember that first car ride home, holding my breath the whole way, overwhelmed with gratitude and disbelief. The world<\/a> suddenly felt brighter – Christmas lights twinkling, our family waiting to welcome her, and the darkest days behind us.<\/p>\n “From that day, December 23rd, until forever, she’s been our greatest joy. Today, she’s sassy, hilarious, full of energy, and fills our home with laughter and love,” she continued.<\/p>\n “This journey has taught us so much about strength, hope, and family. We’re so lucky to have her, and we’ll never stop being grateful for this miracle.”<\/p>\n Like this story?
