Jenny Drummond, a former sports personality, just got engaged to her long-time partner and moved into a new home, and now has her first child.
BBC and TNT Sports presenter Jenny Drummond has revealed she’s expecting her first child, sharing the happy news with fans after a life-changing year that’s seen her get engaged and move into a new house.
The 36-year-old sports journalist, who is best known for her coverage of major events like Wimbledon, the Women’s Six Nations, and The Open, posted a photo cradling her baby bump on social media, writing: “They say things sometimes come in threes – engagement, house, now baby G. Feeling very lucky indeed.”
While she didn’t tag or name her partner, fans and famous friends were quick to celebrate the milestone. It comes after Cheryl’s emotional tribute to Liam Payne in her first big job since his tragic death.

Famous pals of Jenny flocked to the comments to wish her a happy birthday after sharing her wonderful news. Congratulations, broadcaster Laura Woods wrote: “Amazing news congratulations! Xxx”.
Meanwhile, tennis star and commentator Annabel Croft added: “Congratulations, such wonderful news.” Sky Sports presenter Eleanor Roper chimed in too, saying: “Aww congratulations!!!”
Jenny, who is a former tennis player who transitioned into broadcasting, also shared a more personal glimpse into her pregnancy journey.
Posting a behind-the-scenes video from Wimbledon, where she voiced and presented the BBC’s women’s final preview, she admitted she was struggling with morning sickness at the time.
She captioned the clip, “Always so proud to present and voice the women’s preview to the Wimbledon final of @bbcsport coverage.”
I’m not going to lie, I had a bad time with this shoot because of pick n mix and, most importantly, Joe Bamonte, @bensmith_cam, and the Salford editing team.
Jenny, who hails from Scotland, has become one of the most recognisable faces in British sports broadcasting. Her work spans tennis, rugby, and golf, and she’s gained a loyal following for her intelligent commentary and professional presence on screen.
Jenny has also been open about the challenges she has encountered as a woman in a field with a male-dominated environment despite her success.
She discussed the ongoing double standards in sports media in an interview with the Daily Mail recently, saying that “you get comments on how you look and what you wear as a presenter or reporter.”
Then people criticize your questions or your lack of articulation. Jenny continued, “That definitely p**s me off.”
She also explained why she keeps her distance from social media engagement: “I use Twitter/X for work but am not active on it. I’m sensitive and can’t hack that (abuse) side of it, so I don’t even bother looking.”
