Dean Saunders to be a dad!

Dean Saunders and his girlfriend Jamie Faber are going to be parents. Dean, 31, told Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf (translation), "I'm the oldest [child] at home, but when it comes to starting a family I'm the last one. My brothers Ben and Jamie both have a four-year old child. Finally it's going to happen for us too."

Jamie, 27, is almost five months pregnant. The couple also just bought a detached house in Hoorn. It sits on 1000 square meters (almost 1/4 of an acre). The parents-to-be immediately bought a jungle gym for their child. Dean says, "It's funny how your outlook on things changes. You realize that [when the baby's here] you can't do as you please and just go somewhere, because a baby is relying on you [to be there]."

The pregnancy got of to a troublesome start. At her first ultrasound Jamie was diagnosed with a blighted ovum. This anembryonic gestation means that in very early pregnancy everything seems to develop normally, but as time progresses a visible embryo never develops. Anembryonic gestation is one of the causes of miscarriages. After Jamie was diagnosed (but didn't miscarry), she needed to make an appointment to have the blighted ovum removed. Luckily, the doctors then found a heartbeat.

Dean shot to fame when he won the third edition of Popstars on January 22nd, 2011. The day before his younger brother Ben won the first ever edition of The Voice of Holland.
