As Rebecca, 34, cradled her pregnancy bump, the caption said: “Our own bit of magic.
“Baby number 3 on the way.
“#pregnancy #disneylandparis #3”
Heptathlon legend Dame Jessica Ennis Hill commented: “Congratulations,” along with a love heart emoji.
Many fans also shared their well wishes, as one wrote: “Awww lush news congratulations to you both xx”
Rebecca won two gold medals at the 2008 Summer Olympics in the 400-metre freestyle and 800-metre freestyle, breaking the world record of Janet Evans in the 800-metre final.
“This was the first time for a century that a British swimmer had won more than one gold medal at an Olympic Games, when Henry Taylor won two golds in 1908,” writes the Olympics website.
Previously, Rebecca revealed she suffered a miscarriage in August 2022 as she posted a picture in hospital holding a cup of tea after "emergency surgery."
At the time, she said in the caption: “On Tuesday me and Andy went to hospital for our 12 week scan only to discover we’ve had a miscarriage which resulted in emergency surgery.
“I managed to leave hospital Thursday only to be readmitted Friday. After a day of treating sepsis, a kidney infection and a fever I’m slowly on the mend. Long way to go but I’m in the right place.
“I can’t thank the hospitals and the staff enough, been so supportive. It’s such a devastating time but important in times like these we remember we aren’t alone and have so much support.”
She continued to say: “@andrewparsons5 you have been my rock this week. Same with family and friends. We haven’t managed to process it all yet but I know with their support we’ll get through it.
“Once I’m able to leave hospital I’m extremely grateful I get to go home and give my 2 little ones the best hugs!"
