Mo Gilligan has reportedly proposed to his pregnant girlfriend Taia Tulher, just weeks after he confirmed he had a child with an ex-partner.
The couple has been going out for two years, and it has been reported that while they are keeping the news away from the press, they have told close family and friends.
Additionally, the model and wellness influencer Taia, 28, has been seen wearing an engagement ring on her wedding finger in images on Instagram.
A source told The Sun that the engagement saw Mo go the ‘full nine yards’.
‘Mo went the full nine yards in proposing to Taia but kept quiet about it publicly. They have been telling friends that they are engaged, and everyone is really happy for them.
‘He and Taia are so in love and really excited to be starting a family together. They already live together in London, so it felt like the natural next step to get engaged.
‘There aren’t immediate plans for a wedding yet, though. The baby will keep their hands full for a while.’
The comic, 37, confirmed a few weeks ago that he had a son named Rudi with his ex, Selina Christoforou, 35, born in January 2024.
While Gilligan has not publicly commented on the reports, sources claimed to the publication he sees the child ‘semi-regularly.’
‘Selina found out she was pregnant in May last year,’ a source told The Sun. ‘It was a surprise for them both… but she chose to have the baby, and she absolutely adores him.’
Mo confirmed he had a son with a video on his Instagram story, following days of fierce speculation.
The video saw the father and son play giant Connect Four with a heart emoji over the child’s face.
The short black-and-white video was paired with the song Emotionless by Drake, specifically the lyrics: ‘I wasn’t hidin’ my kid from the world / I was hidin’ the world from my kid.’
In a Mother’s Day Instagram post in March, Tulher shared her pregnancy news with a poetic caption, though she did not name her partner. ‘Today, I carry the love that made me… and the love I’ve only just begun to understand,’ she wrote.
At the time, she didn’t confirm that Mo was the father of her child.
Mo is a regular on Celebrity Gogglebox and co-hosts The Big Narstie Show on Channel 4. The presenter is also known for The Lateish Show with Mo Gilligan, which was cancelled a couple of years ago.
Metro has reached out to Mo Gilligan’s representatives for comment.
