“It’s no Beyonce post… but our best adventure yet is on it’s way,’ she wrote.

“Baby Phillips Rumble is due early July and we are beyond excited, slightly terrified but utterly blessed.”

“We can not wait to meet our little miracle. I’ve always dreamed of being a mother, but never knew it could be…”
