In his post, Malique shared a shot of himself alongside his mystery partner as she sat on his lap.
Covering her face in the shot, the brunette sported a green dress which perfectly emphasised her growing bump.
He captioned the post: “Ain’t no one ever loved me like you love me that’s why I’ve got you for life. Your gonna be the best mum.”
The star’s soap pals rushed to share their well-wishes in the comments.
Hollyoaks‘ Owen Warner said: “Lucky baby, got two quality parents.”

Malique also has a daughter named Alexis with a previous partner.
After he welcomed his daughter in 2017, the former I’m A Celeb star admitted his life turned upside down as he adjusted to fatherhood.

Malique told his Instagram followers that year: “I’m not going to lie, 2017 broke me, matured me, whooped my ass, humbled me, blessed me, made me smarter and wiser.
“It showed me snakes are everywhere & family & friends are just titles if the love isn’t real.”
He added: “So basically 2017 was the best worst of my entire life. Here’s to 2018.”
Meanwhile, Malique returned to Hollyoaks last year after previously quitting to pursue a career in reality television.
Following a two year break from the soap, he reprised his character of Prince McQueen.
At the time, the actor explained: “You know what, I was bricking it coming back, just because I’ve been away for so long.
“I’m a bit rusty but I’m really enjoying myself. There are some new people, new faces.
“I’m just glad to be back, back with the family, it just feels like home. I feel like I’ve never left.”
