The Scottish couple made a cute video to break the news to the fans. Hannah Miley left all of the details in the capable hands of the professional videographer and husband, Ewan Duff. Duff cast their Spaniels, Mylo, and Poppy, in the video and had them deliver the news. The clip began with the two dogs sitting side by side. Suddenly one dog raised its paw as if calling out to someone. At that moment, words started appearing on the video. The first line said, “Hey! I have got some news to tell you”. The captivating video continued with the dog scurrying off camera to bring back a few items one after the other. The first item it brought was a piece of paper, which did not make much sense to anyone. Thereafter, it brought a baby growth, which gave some hints.

Lastly, it brought an ultrasound image in its mouth, revealing that its family was expecting a new member. The clip ended with Miley and Duff holding each other closely and smiling at the camera. Miley held the ultrasound image, and the caption on top read, “Trouble maker arriving December 2023”. The video was uploaded on Twitter with the words, “Our world is going to get a little more crazy”, and was later shared on AberdeenLive.

Hannah Miley is loved by swimming fans in England and Scotland who want to claim her as their own. Miley started her swimming career by participating in events for England. She has earned many events for the country and was even honored with an MBE recently. But the star swimmer lives in Scotland and spent her pre-retirement period competing for Scotland. This has allowed both countries to come together and rejoice in her happiness.
