Sam Faiers got fans very excited that there could be a big announcement on the horizon during a candid chat with Amanda Holden on her show Sister Act as a source says she’s ‘feeling broody’
She’s already a mum to three gorgeous little ones, but reality TV star Sam Faiers has dropped a baby bombshell that’s got fans in quite a frenzy. In an episode of Sam & Billie: Sister Act, the ITVBe reality show she stars in with older sister Billie, she revealed that while she sometimes feels her “time is up” when it comes to expanding her brood, she’s not ready to shut the door completely on the prospect of having another child. So, could baby Faiers No.4 be on the cards soon?
As OK! reports, It was during a conversation with Britain’s Got Talent judge Amanda Holden, who appeared as a guest on the show, that Sam admitted she wasn’t ruling out the idea of another baby. Amanda, 54, jokingly suggested Sam “needed another one”, to which the former TOWIE star laughed and said, “Never say never!”

A source says, “Sam is so busy, she’s got the TV show and the kids. But in the back of her mind, it’s niggling her that having another baby is a now or never thing, and it is something she has been thinking about more and more lately.”
Our source adds, “Sam is definitely feeling broody and doesn’t want to wait too long and then have it be too late for another – even though it’s not guaranteed she would get pregnant straight away.”
After Sam’s remark on the show, many fans were delighted, with one commenting, “Oh I feel a pregnancy announcement coming soon.” Another added, “Marriage and more kids is on the cards I am sure, she is still young.” While a third said, “Sam is such a family girl, I can tell she is going to have a big family.”
If the potential baby news wasn’t enough to get people talking, Sam also promised fans that “there will 100% be a wedding” in the future.
Sam and long-term partner Paul Knightley, known affectionately as “Big Paul”, have been together for over a decade after meeting in 2014 and, despite never tying the knot, their relationship has remained one of the most solid in the often fickle world of reality TV.
The couple share three children: Paul Jr, born in December 2015, Rosie, born in November 2017, and little Edward, who arrived in May 2022.
Our source claims: “She’s feeling torn, because on the one hand new babies are a wonderful thing, but she also knows from past experience that they can put stresses and strains on a marriage, and on families. She has to make that decision with Paul, and they just keep going back and forth.”
Her homelife, as most mums will recognise, isn’t exactly the epitome of calm as it is. Sam has often spoken about the challenges and abject chaos of raising three young kids while juggling her career, including her successful Collagen brand, Revive and various business ventures.
Speaking to last year, Sam admitted that she didn’t cope well with the transition from two to three kids. “People say, ‘You’ve had two, the third will slot in.’ But I found my whole life was turned upside down. Paul and Rosie are in school, there are no nappies and they are fairly independent… and then I went back for the third!”
And in a previous episode of her new show, the star faced criticism from some mum-shamers online, who accused her of having “no control” over her lively trio, following two year old Edward’s rebellious behaviour during a family meal out.
Sam confessed that Edward was a “ticking time bomb” as they awaited their meal’s arrival at the restaurant, and when the dishes arrived at the table, Edward was spotted hurling chips at his seven year old sister Rosie, who had been sitting peacefully enjoying her own food.
“Oi, oi! Excuse me!” Sam was heard telling Edward of his food-throwing antics, warning her son, “They’ll ask you to leave this restaurant.”.
But Sam has also been crystal clear about how much she loves family life, frequently sharing sweet moments with her brood on Instagram – and confessing in the past that “Paul and I always wanted a big family.”
No doubt, these two already have their hands full – but with Rosie and Paul Jr growing more independent, and Edward now a lively toddler, Sam could be considering diving back into the baby madness sooner than expected.
With a big wedding finally on the horizon — and who knows, the patter of tiny feet too, it looks like 2026 could be Sam’s biggest year yet..
