Vicky Pattison shared throwback photographs on Friday, showcasing her physique in swimwear alongside her husband, Ercan Ramadan. The 38-year-old former 'Geordie Shore' star also used her travel business page to announce an upcoming trip to Montenegro, soliciting recommendations from her followers.
Pattison has been open about her fertility journey, detailing her decision to freeze her eggs at age 35. She explained on the BBC's 'Sort Your Life Out Unpacked' podcast that she felt ready to start a family and expressed a sense of being lost due to not yet having children. She reflected on the emotional weight of this desire, stating, "I didn't think I'd be this age without a baby or a family."
She confirmed that she and her husband are currently trying for children. "It's just the way the cookie crumbles and like how life sometimes like presents you with different things and different opportunities and stuff. And I've never really felt ready until now," Pattison said. She added that a decision was made a couple of years prior to freeze her eggs, which she described as providing a "security blanket."
In a 2025 interview with Women's Health UK, Pattison discussed the pressures surrounding motherhood after marriage, calling the feeling "suffocating." She expressed concerns about taking a break from her career, noting that she had worked hard to achieve her professional goals. Pattison also advocated for egg freezing, acknowledging her own financial privilege in accessing the procedure. She emphasized that women should not feel constrained by an "invisible timeline" and suggested that societal narratives of having it all are not always realistic, often requiring compromise.
Pattison met Ramadan when she was 31, and she stated that giving their relationship space by not immediately focusing on starting a family was "the best thing I've ever done." She felt a sense of freedom after previously experiencing a feeling of being on a "conveyor belt."
