Helen Briggs and her husband Chet Johnson, known from their time on “Ex On The Beach,” are joyfully anticipating the arrival of their fifth child, marking a remarkable addition to their family within just six years.

Already proud parents to Ocean, five, Elvis, four, Peach, two, and nine-month-old Honey, the couple chose Instagram as the platform to share their heartwarming news with fans this past Sunday.

In an endearing video, the family appeared united in matching white tops and jeans. Helen, 30, revealed her growing baby bump and presented a sonogram to her children, capturing their reactions to the exciting news for the first time.

The moment was made even more special when Helen wrote “Baby #5” on the wall, followed by an affectionate embrace with her delighted husband, Chet, 35. The family celebration was filled with joy as they looked forward to welcoming a new member in September.

She captioned the clip: ‘There’s something so special about knowing our story is still growing… Another chapter, another heartbeat, another tiny hand to hold… Baby number 5 is on the way, and our hearts have never felt so full’.

Helen also posted a touching clip from earlier in the year, which documented the emotional moment she and Chet discovered they were expecting once again, adding another layer of excitement to their expanding family story.

She captioned the post: ‘January 2026 finding out we was pregnant with baby number five. Thank you to everyone for all your sweet and loving words! We are beyond excited to welcome another baby Johnson this September’.

The reality star took to her Instagram Stories at the time to announce that she had broken up with Chet after eight years together.

In a statement confirming their split, Helen claimed that she had put up with ‘endless’ cheating allegations during their romance as she detailed why they had split. 

She claimed she had seen ‘evidence’ that Chet cheated on her and described the alleged incident as the ‘final straw’.

She penned: ‘I would like to inform everyone that I have made the decision to finally leave Chet. I have put up with endless cheating allegations throughout our eight-year relationship and although it hasn’t been easy to deal with, I have always chosen to believe him and ignore the rumours because it was the easier thing to do, even though every time my heart broke a little bit more inside.

‘However, I was finally presented with the evidence to prove that without a doubt, he cheated on me in Devon at the beginning of July. This is something I cannot choose to ignore.

Helen later shared another clip from earlier this year which captured the moment that she and Chet discovered were expecting once again

‘This has proved to be the final straw, and I am making this choice because I know it is best for myself, my children and our future.

‘Chet can continue to live his life how he wants but the difference will be that it won’t be at the expense of my feelings anymore.’

However, the pair patched up their differences later that year, with Helen later revealing on Instagram that the allegations turned out to be untrue with the couple then welcoming Honey in June 2025.

In an Instagram Q&A with fans, she shared: ‘Chet and I are back together. We went through hell and back this summer over an allegation which didn’t turn out to be true.

‘I jumped the gun and put a statement without even reading between the lines.

‘Chet always denied the allegation and later down the line cleared his name.’
