Love Island alum Zach Noble is expecting his first child with girlfriend Ava Hirons. The 28-year-old personal trainer – who starred on the ITV2 show in 2023 – took to Instagram on Friday, 6 February, to share his and 24-year-old Ava’s news.
The pair captioned a shot of a baby scan, alongside sweet photos of them, with: “Incoming summer ’26.”
Zach’s fellow Love Island co-stars rushed to the comment section to give their congratulations and good wishes to the happy couple. Luca Bish wrote: “Congratulations to you both” and Tanya Manhenga: ‘Congratulations baby.” Loose Women’s GK Barry added: “Congratulations” and MAFS UK star Matt Pilmoor wrote: “Congratulations to you both.”

Since their happy announcement, Ava, who is the daughter of This Morning star Caroline Hirons, has shared snaps of her growing bump on Instagram. Alongside pictures of her – and her and Zach – cradling her blossoming bump, she simply wrote: “bump.”
Her mum, skincare expert Caroline, 55, commented: “My baby and her baby.” More snaps show Ava’s bump on show as she dons a white long-sleeved top to a coffee date, while she and Zach also posed on the blue carpet at the Goat UK Gala Screening in London on 8 February, one day after sharing their pregnancy news.
Meanwhile, excited dad-to-be Zach took to Instagram and posted a photo carousel, which included pictures of him kissing Ava’s bump, and another baby scan. He captioned the post with: “I’ve got you more than you’ll ever know. Can’t wait to meet you.”

Zach finished in fourth place on Love Island in 2023 with his 24-year-old ex-partner, Molly Marsh. He and Molly split in July 2025 after they rekindled their romance in May 2024, following a breakup seven months after their series of Love Island ended.
Detailing the reason why she and Zach split, Molly said: “It became apparent over time that it was the best decision for us to go our separate ways.”

Zach and Ava went public with their romance in October last year. Some fans might recognise Ava from TikTok as she has over 842,000 followers on the video sharing app.
In the months after Zach and Ava went official with their relationship, the pair seemingly dropped hints that they were ready to start a family.
On 18 December, Zach took to his Instagram Stories and said he had received the “greatest news”. He wrote: “Just found out the greatest news I think I’ve ever received. God must be real. Time to grind like never before.”
And also that day, Ava took to her Instagram account and reposted a video about pregnancy fitness training.
