Clarkson and her husband, talent manager Alex Andrew, tied the knot in May 2022, after a two-year engagement.
They welcomed their first daughter, Arlo Rose, in February 2023, and announced they were pregnant again this summer.
Xanthe will be ex-Top Gear presenter Jeremy Clarkson‘s second grandchild.
Clarkson has spoken about the challenges during her second pregnancy, describing it as “the hardest thing I have ever been through” due to experiencing hyperemesis gravidarum, which is prolonged and severe nausea and vomiting during pregnancy.

She said in an Instagram post last week that by 16 weeks she weighed less than before she was pregnant, had been taken to hospital for dehydration, been bed-bound and felt “physically sick” at everyday things such as “the smell of my daughter’s hair”, or the thought of an avocado.
She said the experience brought on prenatal depression, saying: “It has been the hardest thing I have ever been through, harder in my second pregnancy than my first, due largely to the devastating guilt I felt not being able to be there in the way I wanted for my first daughter whilst making my second.”

Clarkson said her physical symptoms did get “slightly easier” but that she had not had a vegetable, drank a glass of water or had a day unmedicated in nine months.
She also said the consistent vomiting had caused thoracic outlet syndrome, which compressed the nerves and arteries in her neck, causing numbness in her arms.
Clarkson thanked those who had supported her during such a difficult time, and said she hoped that sharing her issues would help others better support others with hyperemesis gravidarum.
