Fans shocked
Other commenters on Jack’s post were curious about who the baby’s mum may be.
He reportedly recently indicated to the Independent he is not in a relationship.
“I’m still single and ready to mingle,” Jack is reported to have said.

Some bewildered followers were left puzzled by the unexpected announcement.
“Woah have I missed something?” one wrote.
“Who’s the mother?” asked another person very directly.
Others took it upon themselves to record their thoughts about the timing of the baby’s conception.
I’m so confused.
“I’m so confused. The maths isn’t adding up,” one said.
And another alleged as they wondered: “Someone was carrying your baby when you went on Love Island? You’re joking.”
However, amid some comments from confused fans, several fellow ex Love Island cast members were quick to offer their congratulations.
They included Luca Bish and Paige Thorne.
“Congratulations hunny!!!” Paige told him.
