The Olympian is expecting her second child with husband Andrew Parsons who she already shares two-year-old son Albie and Rebecca is also mum to eight-year-old Summer from a previous relationship.

The swimmer took to her Instagram to share the exciting news with her 112k followers.
The sweet snaps showed Rebecca smiling in front of the Disneyland Paris backdrop with Andrew, Summer and Albie all placing a hand on her growing bump.
The mother of two was in the spirit of their Disney adventure as she posed in a Mickey Mouse sweatshirt matched to a green and black patterned skirt.
She captioned the post: “Our own bit of magic.
“Baby number 3 on the way.”
Fellow athlete Jessica Ennis Hill was one of the first to comment on the post saying: “Congratulations.”

The family’s news comes a year after the couple faced heartbreak when Rebecca suffered a miscarriage at 12 weeks.
The athlete shared her experience openly with fans.
She suffered further complications following the miscarriage.
At the time she shared pictures of herself in hospital and told her followers: “On Tuesday me and Andy went to hospital for our 12 week scan only to discover we’ve had a miscarriage which resulted in emergency surgery.”
She continued: “I managed to leave hospital Thursday only to be readmitted Friday. After a day of treating sepsis, a kidney infection and a fever I’m slowly on the mend. Long way to go but I’m in the right place.
“I can’t thank the hospitals and the staff enough, been so supportive. It’s such a devastating time but important in times like these we remember we aren’t alone and have so much support.”
She acknowledged the support she received from her husband, Andrew.
“@andrewparsons5 you have been my rock this week. Same with family and friends. We haven’t managed to process it all yet but I know with their support we’ll get through it.
Once I’m able to leave hospital I’m extremely grateful I get to go home and give my 2 little ones the best hugs!”
