Kate Middleton’s sister-in-law is bumping along at Wimbledon just hours after revealing herpregnancy news.
The entrepreneur, 36, matched his wife’s color scheme with a slightly darker green button-up shirt and neutral-tone linen suit. Both sported sunglasses in the summer heat — Alizée flaunted chic orange cat-eye frames, and James kept things simple with black aviators.
“We couldn’t be more excited,” he captioned the post.
On his Ella & Co. companysocial media page— named after his beloved pooch Ella, whodied earlier this year— they showed another view of the bump with two of their dogs: “We have a new member of the pack coming soon, we couldn’t be more excited.”
James added to both posts, “It was a very difficult start to the year after losing my beloved Ella however we will end the year with the most precious little addition to our growing family.”
James previously credited Ella with introducing him to Alizée.
“The two of us were at the South Kensington Club in Chelsea,” he previously toldThe Telegraph. “Ella was lying at my feet under the table; realizing she might want some water, I trusted her to take herself to the water bowl across the terrace. However, she made a beeline for Alizée. Rather embarrassed, I went over to apologize and bring Ella back.”
Alizée thought James was a server and ordered a drink while petting the dog.
“Little did I know, I had just met my future wife, all thanks to Ella,” he shared. “If I hadn’t trusted Ella, I wouldn’t have brought her to the South Kensington Club, and she wouldn’t have been able to say hi to the woman who became my fiancée.”
James — who is a proud dog dad to his pups: Zulu, Inka, Luna, Mabel, Nala, and Isla — and Alizée met in 2018. Hepopped the questionto the French financial analyst — who is trilingual and grew up in Germany, Indonesia, Chile, France, Belgium and England — in the fall of 2019 with a sapphire engagement ring.
