She is expecting her first child in a few weeks.
And Ryan Giggs’ pregnant girlfriend Zara Charles gave a glimpse of her growing belly as she left a hair salon in Cheshire on Thursday.
The expectant mother, 36, opted for a tight white T-shirt and black cycling shorts as she left the salon after a two-hour appointment.
Zara showed off her relaxed maternity style by teaming her outfit with a pearl-embellished denim jacket.
She completed her look with flat brown leather sandals and a wicker shoulder bag.

This will be Ryan’s third child. The soccer star already has a son, Zach, 17, and a daughter, Libby, 19, from his 10-year marriage to Stacey Cooke. Zara also has a daughter from a previous marriage.
The baby is expected later in 2024, a source said. The sun: ‘Ryan and Zara are thrilled at the prospect of becoming parents again.
“They have a very strong, loving relationship and are building a long-term future together.”
According to insiders, Ryan’s ex-wife Stacey, who divorced Ryan in 2017, has also given her blessing, as have their children.
A source told The Sun: “Ryan was nervous about what his kids would think, but they’ve gotten to know Zara over the last few years and really like her. They’re happy because they know he’s happy…
“But they have joked that he might struggle with the early mornings and lack of sleep. Ryan and Zara are thrilled at the prospect of becoming parents again, they have a really solid, loving relationship and are building a long-term future together.”
Another source told the publication: ‘Stacey approves of Zara. She and Ryan have been through a lot but they have moved on and she is only interested in him being happy because that makes him a good father to their children. There is no animosity.’
Stacey and Ryan divorced in 2017 after it was revealed that he had had an eight-year affair with his brother’s wife, Natasha.

His family members cut off contact with him when the news broke, with his father saying he was “ashamed” of his son, while his brother Rhodri made headlines after appearing in a Paddy Power advert mocking the former Manchester United player.
The marriage survived the affair – and Ryan, 50, also cheated on her with Big Brother star Imogen Thomas – but they split in 2016.
According to family lawyers Leiper Gupta, the divorce is said to have cost Ryan £20million, but the couple’s lawyers said they remained “good friends”.
Ryan and Zara’s good news comes after the former footballer returned to his job as technical director at Salford City, the club he co-owns, after being acquitted of assaulting his former girlfriend Kate Greville in 2023.
