"So proud of you my son you have always brought joy and happiness to my life," Fergison captioned the post. "I now have 2 Amazing sons and Linda (Andrew’s mum ) and I are now officially The MOGS ! ( Mothers of the Grooms and Mothers of the Gays and we both couldn’t be prouder) Happy days forever you two."
Fergison previously stated that Alex's father disowned him when he came out as gay at age 16. She has been married to her husband, Yassim al-Jemoni, since 2011.
