The 49-year-old told fans: “I am so thrilled to share the news!!! Grandchild number 4… incoming!!!
“Congratulations to my beautiful daughter @listentoemilie, my wonderful son in law @mikeyhoz and Teddy and Polly!! Can’t wait to meet you little one!“
Fans commented: “Congratulations to Emilie, Michael, Polly and Teddy. So thrilled for you all.”
A second added: “The best news, so happy for your family.”
A third noted: “Look at Polly and Teddy’s faces, they are priceless.”
She told CBeebies previously about becoming a young grandma: “I always knew I would be a young grandparent because of how old I was when I had my children.
“I was 42 when I found out I was going to be a grandparent. It still came as a bit of a shock but I was so excited.
“Both me and Emilie’s dad were thrilled to bits. Then, of course, meeting Teddy was on another level.”
She continued: “I’m still a very busy person, but as a grandma I try to make as much time as I can.
“I like to think they will all grow up knowing that, even though I’m busy, I will always be there for them.”
However, Kym admitted she didn’t relish the idea of being called “granny” in her forties.
She said: “I was a little bit bothered at the beginning and I was trying to find alternatives, but Teddy just came up with his own name for me, which is Yaya, and we found out later that it’s Greek for grandma. So, I’m Yaya!”
The star has been married three times.
Kym was with Jamie from 2008 to 2014. In 2009, their son, Archie Jay Lomas, was born 18 weeks early and died moments after birth.
They went on to have their daughter Polly in 2011 before tying the knot in Cheshire in 2012.
The actress was previously married to Eastenders star Jack Ryder from 2002 to 2009.
After her marriage to Jamie the actress married ex-soldier Scott Ratcliff in 2021.
Kym’s most recent split was from boyfriend Samuel Thomas, 29, in February who she had called her ‘soulmate’.
The pair were together for a whirlwind six-month romance.
Earlier this year, the actress quit Waterloo Road after five series as part of a life overhaul.
Kym was one of the biggest names on the cast when the series was revived in 2023.
The former singer is set to focus on new projects after splitting with her toyboy boyfriend.
