Lisa Vanderpump’s family is about to get a little bigger.
On Tuesday, September 16, Lisa’s nephew Sam Vanderpump announced he and his fiancée, Alice Yaxley, were expecting their first child together. The Made in Chelsea couple shared the happy news on Instagram, where they posted a photo of Alice’s sonogram surrounded by roses, and a picture of Sam kissing Alice’s baby bump.
“Life is full of surprises, but this is the best one yet,” Sam captioned the carousel. “I can’t put into words how happy and excited we are!”

The expectant parents spoke about their growing family in a recent interview with The Daily Mail, saying the pregnancy was completely unplanned.
“It was definitely a surprise,” Alice said. “I had missed a period, but I have polycystic ovaries, so it wasn’t a shock to have missed a period. But I did a test to be safe, and I wasn’t expecting anything, but it was positive. It was a big shock, we looked at each other and thought, wow, this is big, but everything else in our lives was so right… I thought there’s a chance in the future that maybe I wouldn’t be able to have children, so in a way it was a relief, too, because this shows that I can.”

In an effort to avoid any more surprises, Alice decided to have a blood test to determine the sex of her baby.
“We are having a boy,” Sam confirmed. “We were terrified to tell Alice’s dad, but he was probably the happiest. I always knew my mum was dying to become a grandmother, and her reaction was so good.”

“She really, really has,” he continued. “Since my dad passed away seven years ago, she really stepped up, she has been there and became an amazing support network for me and my brother (Jack Vanderpump)… Over the last year and a half, since Alice has been around, I have become even closer to my aunt because she gets on so well with Alice. She has invited Alice to stay with her in Vegas, in LA, she has invited Alice onto set with her. They get on so well. She has even nicknamed Alice, Ally.”
Sam and Alice’s baby announcement came seven months after Lisa’s daughter, Pandora Vanderpump Sabo, welcomed her second child with husband Jason Sabo. Get more details about the family addition.
