The actress first became a grandmother at the age of 42, when her 25-year-old daughter Emilie had a baby boy.

Along with the exciting news that they will be welcoming their baby in August, Kym's son David, 26, and his fiancé Courtney also recently announced their engagement. Kym shared the wonderful news to her followers in November 2021 in an Instagram post, writing: 'So.....last night....this happened!!! My wonderful son @cunliffe890 asked his beautiful girlfriend @courtneyleac to marry him....and she said YES!!!!!!' (sic)
Kym also spoke highly of the pair's relationship and doted on Courtney: 'I cannot begin to put into words how ecstatic I am!! To be in their company as a couple is to truly be in the presence of love!
'This girl is an absolute diamond, she’s kind and compassionate, beautiful inside and out and loves my son with everything she has! I couldn’t have wished for anyone better for him and I am super excited to be gaining a daughter!'
Since first becoming a grandmother, Kym revealed that she refused to be called granny, grandma or nanny, instead opting to be called Lolly.
