Rachael Blackmore and husband reveal they’re expecting their first child together

Rachael Blackmore is going to be a mam

Rachael subtly shared on social media this week that she is pregnant with her first child.

The mum-to-be posted a photo of her car, with a brand-new buggy taking up most of the boot space.

She shared, "Love driving the Volvo XC60 #BA. Boot contents looking a little bit different now…”

Brian confirmed he married Rachael in a small and intimate ceremony in January.

The couple tied the knot with a small number of their loved ones in Rosscarbery.

He told RacingTV: “I got married ten days ago. Myself and Rachael got married, so off the market.

“It was a lovely day. We got married on the Friday down at home in Rosscarbery, in my home place.

“We went up to Cavan, then on the Monday, and had a big party with all our friends and family. It was nice… it was nice just to get married finally.”

The jockey said they haven't been on honeymoon yet, but said they're hoping to go somewhere in June.

Rachael has shared very few updates about her wedding but posted two photos from their special day on Instagram last week.

The sporting legend announced her retirement from horse riding last year.

Rachael Blackmore became the first female jockey ever to win the Cheltenham Gold Cup in 2022.
