After weeks of rows and rumours of a split, cagefighter, Alex Reid, has stepped out in a very bold move to show his support for pregnant fiancée, Chantelle Houghton, by becoming pregnant!

Alex, who used to be married to Katie Price and who used to be a transvestite (I am not saying that these two pieces of information are in any way connected), has donned a pregnancy suit in order to help him empathise and understand the struggles his heavily pregnant partner has had to endure whilst carrying his unborn child.

Reports over the last few weeks have suggested that the couple had been furiously rowing and that 8 month pregnant Chantelle, who was recently pictured struggling with shopping bags (nice of the photographer to capture the moment rather than offering her assistance), had even moved out of their home and was sleeping on the floor of her unfurnished flat.

Speaking at the time, Chantelle took to social networking site, Twitter, to confirm what had happened, tweeting: “To confirm I did take time out from alex and stay at my flat last week after an almighty row. Last couple days been trying to sort things.”

The rows are thought to have steamed from Alex’s lack of support whilst he has been touring with a stripper-based play, Wildboyz, but with him now back at home, Alex has taken a more hands on approach by putting himself in his wife-to-be’s shoes to understand how she has been feeling (although, just helping her would have probably been more welcomed than stealing her thunder).

Alex was fitted with his very own baby bump and posed doing household chores for a Now Magazine photoshoot, whilst joking: “How are we going to have sex with both bumps? That’ll be interesting!”

Speaking to the magazine, Reid admitted: ”We have fights. Who doesn’t? But all her stuff is still at my place, er, I mean our place.

“I still love her and can’t wait to marry her and bring up our family together.”

Then it appeared that the cagefighter got sick of living as he went on to blame Chantelle’s hormones for the rows, rather than his lack of help, saying: ”I wish I knew. There are only two things I do wrong at the moment: everything I say and everything I do….

“I breathe wrongly and I get my throat jumped down.”
