Towie’s Tommy Mallet and Georgia Kousoulou reveal they’re having a baby girl after he opened up about losing £4million
TOWIE’S Tommy Mallet and Georgia Kousoulou have revealed they’re having a baby girl after he opened up about losing £4million.
The ITVBe personality and fashion brand businessman, 32, is preparing to welcome his second child with wife and co-star Georgia, 33.
And the blonde beauty delighted fans with her latest Instagram post yesterday.
Taking to the platform, Georgia shared four ultrasound scans of their upcoming arrival along with an adorable caption.
She wrote: “Our little girl. The first pictures we have actually been able to get as baby girl is breach with legs & arms infront of her face, her little hand under her chin.
“Thank you so much @pure.scan you are the best.”
Georgia and Tommy left Towie in 2021 and were subsequently given their own reality show, Baby Steps, to document family life.
The pair secretly wed last year after welcoming their son Brody in 2021.
Last year, they were left heartbroken after suffering a tragic miscarriage.
Georgis and Tommy went for their 12 week scan and were told about the rare chromosome disorder, called triploid syndrome, that meant their baby had no chance of survival.
The discovery left Georgia with the agony of having to undergo a termination – had she continued with the pregnancy, her baby would have been miscarried or stillborn.
Speaking about dealing with the news, Georgia previously said: “It’s a very hard thing to take in when someone says your baby isn’t going to survive, but you’re watching that same baby moving around.
“If there had been no heartbeat, it might have been easier to accept. I asked if it was my fault, or if there was anything I could have done differently.
“He said it was incredibly rare and nobody was to blame, but I couldn’t stop torturing myself.”
The couple halted filming their show Baby Steps while she came to terms with her loss, with Georgia later saying: “I was in the darkest place I’d ever been.”
Tommy, who co-owns trainer brand Mallet London, recently revealed his clash with his business partner Evren Ozka, which has now seen the pair lock horns in court.
Continuing his candid chat on Ben Gallagha’s Everybody Wants To Be Us podcast he told how his bank balance had plummeted.
WHAT IS MISCARRAIGE AND WHY DO PREGNANCIES FAIL?
MISCARRIAGE is generally the death of an unborn baby in the first 24 weeks – approximately six months – of pregnancy.
Miscarriages may not be spoken about a lot but they are very common. Baby loss charity Tommy’s estimates there are at least 250,000 per year in the UK and that one in every five pregnancies ends in miscarriage.
It may not be clear why a miscarriage happens but they are rarely caused by anything done by the mother or father. Usually the embryo has a random genetic defect that means it cannot develop properly.
Most women can go on to successfully have healthy babies in the future.
The NHS says most miscarriages cannot be prevented but avoiding smoking, alcohol and drugs while pregnant can reduce the risk.
Some of the other most common reasons for a pregnancy to fail in the first 24 weeks are ectopic pregnancy and molar pregnancy.
Ectopic pregnancy is where a fertilised egg implants somewhere outside of the womb, usually in a fallopian tube. It cannot survive and grow there so either dies naturally or must be terminated.
Molar pregnancy is rarer but happens when a fertilised egg and/or placenta does not develop properly at the start of a pregnancy. There is no single reason why it happens and cannot be prevented, though it may be more common in very young or old mothers.
A baby who dies after 24 weeks is considered a stillbirth.

Tommy said: “I was very cash rich at one point
“I’d always have 4million in the bank but now I’ve probably got £5K in and I’m like f**king hell.
“How am I gonna pay for this?
Mallet London has taken the footwear world by storm over the last nine years.
Tommy built the firm with Evren from scratch in 2015.
They worked from Evren’s premises and the business exploded, making them millions.
However, over the past year, Tommy has spoken cryptically about an ongoing court case centred on Mallet London.
He told how he had offloaded his assets after departing the company in October 2023, but claimed his lips were legally sealed over the details about what had happened.
Tommy did, however, write on social media: “It’s probably not over, but as it stands I can work and support my family.
“I’ve sold all my assets to defend myself and starting from scratch, but I’ve got some wonderful companies and I will give it my all to get it back so my family can continue living the life I worked so hard to give them.”
Tommy Mallet's Business Journey
Tommy grew his brand and made his fortune from humble beginning that saw him grow up on a council estate in London
While Tommy might be living a life of luxury now; treating himself to a customised Ferrari and flying around the world – it wasn’t always like that for the dad-of-one.
He grew up on a council estate in North London and left school with no GCSEs.
His upbringing is what actually inspired him to create his footwear brand, as he was bullied at school for the clothes he wore.
The businessman said that he was humiliated when he was just 12 because his family couldn’t afford to buy him fashionable trainers.
He trained as a carpenter after school before joining the cast of Towie – which is where he met his fiancée Georgia.
Speaking about his childhood, he told MailOnline: “I feel like at one point in my life I definitely could have had the potential to go down the wrong path but ultimately, I knew that I wanted to do things the right way and to succeed.
“So staying on the right track was important to me.”
His shoe brand is favored by the likes of Drake, Olly Murs, Craig David, and Will.i.am.
He launched Mallet in 2015 and by 2020 the business had clocked up 11.8million sales.
His shoes and apparel is stocked in over 150 stores around the world, and that’s only going to increase.
Tommy, who made the Forbes 30 under 30 list, says he prefers to be known for his work rather than his time on Reality TV.
