Alex Reid poses as ‘pregnant man’ to empathise with fiancee Chantelle

London, May 30: In a bid to empathise with his heavily-pregnant fiance Chantelle Houghton, Alex Reid became a “pregnant man” for the day in a new magazine photoshoot.

In a sequence of quirky photos, the 36-year-old mixed martial artist is seen struggling as he does the washing-up, mopping the floor and carrying the groceries – echoing images of the glamour model doing the latter a few weeks ago, the Daily Mail reported.

In the accompanying interview, Reid admits he’s baffled by the problems they have been having, but admit his bride-to-be’s pregnancy hormones may be a factor.

Two weeks ago, Houghton briefly left their house after an argument, but returned a few days later.

Explaining the argument, Reod tells the new issue of Now magazine: “We have fights. Who doesn’t? But all her stuff is still at my place, er, I mean our place. I still love her and can’t wait to marry her and bring up our family together.”

He was asked what triggered the row, but apparently he had no idea.

“I wish I knew. There are only two things I do wrong at the moment: everything I say and everything I do….

“I breathe wrongly and I get my throat jumped down,” he said

Reid believes a majority of their problems stem from her insecurity, after she reacted with fury to him discussing his ex-wife Katie Price in an interview and exchanging private, but innocent messages with her former protegee Amy Willerton on Twitter.

Dubbing Houghton’s reaction over the “Willerton situation… ridiculous”, he also described her response to his Katie Houghton interview questions as “upsetting”. (ANI)
