Kellie and Paul got married in 2014 and are already parents to four-year-old son Freddie.
After the news was revealed online, fans of the star took to the social media world to flood her with congratulations messages.
One person posted: "So happy for you Kellie , congrats , much love to you," while another added: "It's perfect I'm feeling so emotional."
A different social networker shared: "Omg omg I'm screaming so so happy for you guys! Congratulations beautiful eek cant wait ! Love you so much. Stay blessed (sic)"
Last year, Kellie's character Linda gave birth to a little boy called Ollie. However, there was doubt over who the child's father was because Linda fell pregnant after she was raped by Dean Wicks (Matt Di Angelo).
In the end though, it was revealed that Linda's husband Mick (Danny Dyer) was, in fact, the actual father, much to his delight.
But, as per usual, there wasn't a happily ever after and the family were hit by more baby drama when the tot fell out of his high chair and hit his head. It's still questionable whether or not Ollie will fully recover or will be left with permanent issues.
EastEnders continues tonight at 7.30pm on BBC One.
