Amber Le Bon’s boyfriend has been revealed as TikTok creator and former rugby player Ben Mercer as she announces she is expecting her first baby.
The model daughter of Simon Le Bon, 35, announced she is expecting as she shared sweet Instagram snaps of her growing bump on Wednesday.
While Amber has not disclosed who the father of her child is, it appears she has struck up a new romance with writer, Ben.
Ben previously played professional rugby before switching up his career for writing and has also developed a huge social media following for his book content.
The author has so far written four books, the first of which was a No.1 Amazon bestseller and nominated for William Hill Sports Book of the Year 2020, exploring what life is like for pro sportsmen outside the limelight.
His second book, Our Race, focuses on the Great Britain 4x100m Relay Team, who in 2004 had ‘never been worse’ until they went to the Olympic Games in Athens.
Meanwhile, Endgame is handbook for athletes navigating the end of professional sport and helps to atheletes to navigate career transition.
His latest book, Superstrengths, is also a handbook of sorts which helps to guide people to ‘stand out in a world of infinite choice’.

On his website, Ben also explains that he writes a weekly newsletter discussing what he is thinking or learning about, or behind the scenes with his book and content.
He says: ‘I’ve written, narrated and produced books, consulted on projects at the highest levels of professional sport and created content with some of the biggest brands in the world.’
Before becoming an author and content creator, Ben was a pro rugby player but admits it ‘never really amounted to what I imagined it would’.
Detailing his journey, he revealed he played for and captained both his school and university teams. He was spotted to join Bath Academy while at school.
Alongside captaining his uni team, he also ended up playing for the Newcastle Falcons Academy and Blaydon RFC during this time.
Ben says one of his biggest disappointments was playing age group rugby for England. He was selected for England Students during his time at university but sadly sustained a hamstring injury which stopped him playing.
After his studies he signed with Plymouth Albion for two seasons and then a year in Sydney part time before returning to the Cornish Pirates in England before playing for a French team for four years.

Amber followed in her mother’s footsteps by venturing into the modelling world throughout her career.
The couple also have two other grown up daughters Saffron, 33, and 30-year-old Tallulah.
Last year Yasmin said she and her husband Simon ‘don’t feel the need to renew their vows’ after their ‘ramshackle wedding’ nearly 36 years ago.
Despite marrying the musician in 1985, the supermodel says she is still besotted with her husband – and though she was tempted to walk down the aisle again, the A-list couple ‘couldn’t be bothered’ to organise a party.
