Emily Atack spotted for first time since announcing she is having a baby with her step-cousin
EMILY Atack has been spotted out for the first time since it was revealed she was expecting a baby with her step-cousin.
The 34 year old is expecting her first child with scientist Alistair Garner who she has grown up with since childhood.
Emily and Alistair looked loved-up as they took a hand-in-hand stroll through London.
The stunning actress kept wrapped up for the winter chill but her blossoming baby bump could be seen on full display under her long black dress.
She appeared to want to go low-key for the outing as she added a simple black baseball cap and sunglasses to finish off her look along with a chic grey scarf.
Emily and her baby daddy were accompanied by her sister Martha and her husband Mark Durham as they enjoyed the outing with Emily’s pet pooch Penny.
Alistair appeared at ease as he accompanied his girlfriend for their first public outing since their pregnancy announcement.
He looked stylish as he rocked a pair of cropped trousers along with a simple jumper and coat as he braved the January cold.
Earlier this week, The Sun revealed that Alistair is the son of Emily’s late uncle – Dr Stephen Garner – who married Emily’s aunt Jane Robbins in 1994.
Emily, who is already five months pregnant, has only been pictured publicly with Dr Alistair on one occasion – in September of last year and has shared very little details about the romance.
An insider said: “Emily and Alistair consider themselves more family friends but they are cousins who aren’t related by blood.
“They grew up together and have always got on really well, but last year they started to get closer.
“It has been a really natural evolution of their friendship and they both have strong feelings for each other.
“Emily and Alistair were thrilled when they found out they were expecting and are really looking forward to becoming parents.
“Their respective families are totally supportive and have told them they think they’re a lovely couple.”
The Inbetweeners actress was left delighted to share the news that she was expecting her first child.
In an emotional post, she wrote: “Hello Everyone, it’s been a little while but I’m back with some news. I’m delighted to share with you all that we’re having a baby!!
“I’ve never been so happy and utterly terrified at the same time. Please go easy on me. Every day is mixed with thrill, fear, joy, hysteria, topped off with a lot of vomiting – a bit like when you’ve just stepped off of the Oblivion at Alton Towers on a hangover.”
“I’ve got to know my body on such an insane level. It’s made me appreciate the one I’ve been given SO much, I’m doing my absolute best to make it a home for the little squid I’m growing.
“We can already sense the baby is reclined on a mattress of peanut butter and jam sandwiches in there, demanding more chocolate buttons.
“I’m so happy to be writing all of this to you all. You’ve always stuck by me through the years, do stick around to watch me enter my mum era. Christ. Let’s go.”
