He said: “We’re thrilled. I never thought I was going to find the person I wanted to spend the rest of my life with so when I think that 10 years on from our first date, we’ve got one amazing little boy and another baby on the way, I get quite emotional.
"This is the life I’ve always dreamt of.”
Portia added they waited to tell Roman he was set to become a big brother until they could show him a scan picture.
“Roman started to understand more when my bump started showing, so now he wants to say goodnight to the baby and rubs my tummy saying: ‘Hello baby’," she shared.
The new addition to the family is due in October. Oduba added: “The last year has been the biggest test of our entire relationship. I thought I’d be terrified [at having a second child], but after this year I say bring it on."
