Gemma Collins Features Fiancé's Ex-Wife on Reality Show, Cites Trio's Close Bond

Gemma Collins, star of the Sky reality show "Everything. All At Once," has featured Fernanda Mess, the ex-wife of her fiancé Rami Hawash, in an episode that explores their blended family. Collins, who is engaged to Hawash, shared a scene with Mess cooking together in a kitchen, demonstrating a reportedly close bond between the two women.

Collins, 45, is a stepmother to Hawash's son, Tristan, from his previous marriage to Mess. The reality star expressed her desire to have children of her own and is navigating fertility treatments. During the episode, Collins visited a London hospital for IVF consultations, where she was informed she has a 1% chance of conceiving naturally after five years of trying with Hawash.

The show also touches upon personal challenges faced by the couple. Hawash, 51, is reportedly undergoing couples counseling to address a drinking problem. The episode also revealed his concern for his mother, who is living in Israel amid ongoing conflict and expressed fear due to explosions heard at night. Hawash has stated his intention to bring his mother to the UK when possible, but flight restrictions are currently a barrier.

Collins and Hawash's relationship has a complex history. They dated on and off for three years, with Hawash proposing in 2013. The engagement was called off, and Hawash later married Mess. Collins, in turn, dated her "TOWIE" co-star James Argent. Following the breakdown of Hawash's marriage and Collins's split from Argent, the couple rekindled their romance in 2021 and became engaged again.

Collins has previously spoken about her ambition to start a family, aiming to "carry the legendary GC bloodline on." She has also discussed her plans for a highly publicized announcement of a future pregnancy, drawing parallels to celebrity announcements by figures like Victoria Beckham.
