She shared the happy news on social media (shaughnaphillips/Instagram)"It’s not my decision," she previously said. "If I could share him, I would. He just doesn’t want to be in the public eye. I have to respect his wishes.
"Never say never. I’m sure one day he will be out there because he’s such a big part of my life. But for now, he’s OK sitting in the background.”

Shaughna also revealed her boyfriend won't be in the delivery room with her when she gives birth in March because he's 'squeamish about blood'.
She wrote in her OK! magazine column: "I want my mum and Billy to be my birthing partners, but I think my boyfriend may have a difficult time.
"He's just going to want to know when the baby's here rather than actually being in the delivery room with me.
"He's one of those people who are actually squeamish around blood. There have been times before where I've had surgery and needed help, but he just couldn't do it."
