Jess Shears wants a baby
ICONINSIDER — Jess Shears is “desperate” for a baby.
The 24-year-old beauty will marry her ‘Love Island’ boyfriend Dom Lever later this year, and once their nuptials are complete, they’ll be ready to start a family.
She said: “I’m so broody. Dom and I are both desperate for a baby – we’d like three kids in total. Hopefully, when the time is right, that’s something that will happen.”
The couple will tie the knot on the Greek island Mykonos in October and Jess is very “excited” about their intimate celebration.
She said: “I’m so excited. I’ve never wanted a big wedding as my friendship group is tight-knit and I’ve only got a small family – we’ve got around 30 or 35 guests, which is perfect. I’ve tried on a few dresses, but I need to start properly looking. It’s slowly all coming together.”
Jess has been open about her struggles with bulimia and low self-esteem in the past, but finding love with Dom has finally helped her feel comfortable with who she is.
She said: “It’s taken me a while but I’m finally at the point where I’m happy in myself.
“When you meet someone who loves you no matter what, it’s always going to make you feel more confident and comfortable in your own skin.
“Dom would love me if I was a size 4 or size 24 – and if I ever have a confidence blip, he always picks me back up.”
But the brunette beauty – who is a size 12 – admitted she felt worried before going on ‘Love Island’ and slammed the show for the fact she was the “biggest” contestant.
She told Closer magazine: “Before I went in, I said to my friend, ‘I bet I’m the biggest girl in there’ and I was right, but I shouldn’t have been the role model for curvy women at a size 12, as that’s not exactly big.
“As great as the show is, it doesn’t fully represent a wide range of shapes and sizes – there are so many beautiful girls who are curvier than me.”
