Alex Reid and fiancée welcome twins after IVF nightmare and share sweet names
Alex Reid's fiancée Nikki Manashe has given birth to their twins after going through a fertility nightmare.
The pair are now parents to two baby boys as well as their daughter Anatasia, who was born in 2021 after a seven-year IVF struggle.
Alex, who was famously married to Katie Price, had been extremely open about his and Nikki's journey to parenthood.
The former MMA fighter also revealed the unique names of his two children.
The arrival of the non-identical twins comes after the couple's well-documented seven-year IVF battle and the issues the couple have faced throughout their second pregnancy.

They already share daughter Anastasia (Instagram)"To just have them in my arms. I am complete now. I have my family and I never need to revisit that dark place again," Nikki said.
She went on to tell the Mail: "All those different surgeries from miscarrying and injecting myself. All those hospital appointments. It was worth it."
The stunning mum-of-three admitted that she believed if she died on the operating table her job would have been "one", admitting she never has to go through pregnancy again she is able to close that chapter of their lives.
Following their birth, the twins are being treated with antibiotics as a precautionary measure.
"They have a little bit of jaundice, just because they were a bit premature. They're feeding ok," she told the outlet.
Alex and Nikki have named their two sons, Phoenix Bobby and Hunter George.
Just months ago Nikki revealed that she faced life-threatening sepsis after her waters broke at just 18 weeks.
Once she had recovered they posted a sweet video revealing the genders of their then-unborn twins.
After the scary situation, Nikki told MailOnline about the moment she was told by a doctor her babies only had a 1% chance of survival.
She was also told she was at a dangerous risk of sepsis after her mother died from septicemia aged just 52.

Nikki, who goes by ivf_mama_nikki on Instagram, became through pregnant IVF.
Following a string of health battles and a diagnosis with an autoimmune condition, Nikki was placed on medication which helped her to become a mum.
One of her embryos was from seven years while the other was from her remaining IVF cycles from her daughter, Anastasia.
Her pregnancy was going well until 18 weeks in Nikki suffered a Premature Rupture Of Membranes (PROM), leading to a higher risk of infection and going into labour early.
