Marnie Simpson and her boyfriend Casey Johnson have been super loved-up since meeting on dating show Single AF in 2017 - and they've now got a baby on the way! They're so ruddy adaaawable that we can't get enough here at heat towers.
And for those of you wondering who he has - we've got you covered. Here is everything you need to know about dad-to-be Casey Johnson (who also appeared on Ex On The Beach in 2018 with Marnie) and more. Grab a cheese toastie and let's begin....
Who is Casey Johnson?
Casey Johnson is a singer who has been in two boybands. He hit the spotlight in 2014 after auditioning for The X Factor in 2014, and after a short-lived stint in the show's eight-piece Stereo Kicks, he joined established group Union J in May 2016. However, he left the band less than a year later.
How did Casey Johnson and Marnie Simpson meet?
Casey Johnson met Geordie Shore star Marnie Simpson on MTV's Single AF show in 2017. Ironic, right? The show is a dating show that consists of celebrities going on a series of dates with different people around the world.
The pair confirmed their relationship just a few months after the show ended - apparently, it's against show rules and the network were "not happy." Probs why they didn't confirm anything straight away. However, Casey was Marnie's rumoured boyfriend for two months before they announced anything, due to a series of loved-up photos on both their Instagram feeds.
Casey opened up to heatworld about why he doesn't plan on marrying Marnie, saying that he "doesn't believe" in the concept of marriage and cited his parents' relationship as a reason not to.
Are Marnie Simpson and Casey Johnson having a baby?
They sure are! Lovebirds Marnie and Casey announced that they were expecting a baby in April 2019, revealing the happy news in an interview with OK! magazine. The pair opened up about the pregnancy, with Marnie revealing that she'd been worried she couldn't have children.
“Because I’d done Geordie Shore, I’d convinced myself that I couldn’t have kids because of all the alcohol abuse," she admitted, saying, "I’m really nervous. I can’t even talk about it, I get so scared. I’ll make sure I’ve got some lip gloss and eyeliner. I don’t want to be a mess!"
Casey added, "I don’t think you’re ever ready until it happens, but we’re so excited. It feels amazing." Congratulations!
