Not wasting any time, it now looks like the loved-up pair are hoping to expand their family.
Speaking to Mail Online, Ben revealed: “We are trying for a baby. God is watching, smiling upon us, so we could be very blessed.”
Vanessa added: “Within the next 12 months would be lovely. Obviously, I’m 30 on Saturday, so I think early 30s is the perfect age for me to start a family. So, all being well, I would definitely say within the next year.
The pair have gone as far as already zeroing in on the perfect name to match their honeymoon location.

He expressed: “If we do have a baby girl, we’d love to call it Verona.”
Vanessa explained: “Verona is such a beautiful name, the Beckhams named Brooklyn after where they conceived him. So, you know, following in the footsteps of the Beckhams…”
The two said “I do” just five months after he proposed to Vanessa on Valentine’s Day in New York – having started dating just weeks before.
Ben, who was previously engaged to Vanessa Feltz, took the opportunity of his special day to take a dig at his ex as he slammed: “I wasted 17 years of my life.”
The Phats & Small singer, best known for his biggest hit Turn Around, split up from TV presenter Vanessa in 2023 after 16 years.
The This Morning star, who partied with Myleene Klass, broke her silence on her ex’s new relationship, who has been dubbed ‘Vanessa 2.0’.
She told Best magazine: “An ex is an ex. That person is no longer in my life, and what they do is of no interest to me whatsoever. What’s it got to do with me?
“I really do not want to silt up and sully my life by thinking of someone I no longer want to spend my life with. I didn’t get rid of them to keep tabs on what they’re doing. Let them get on with it.
“I gave [the relationship] my whole heart and my whole soul, but I had no alternative but to end it. I prefer not to register anything in a non-existent relationship with someone I never want to see again.”
The Channel 5 star, who shocked Lizzie Cundy with a saucy surprise, is currently single and hasn’t had the best of luck when it comes to meeting someone new.
She had an ill-fated turn on Celebs Go Dating not long after her split from Ben.
And a more recent date saw her paired with an older man who was still grieving his late wife which Vanessa said had her feeling like a bereavement counsellor.
TV star Vanessa dumped her fiancé Ben two years ago after suspicions that he had cheated on her with several women.
She spoke of her “shock” and “heartbreak” over the singer’s suspected infidelity at the time.
