Adam Rice and Natalie Le Prevost with baby Zavi – SWNS
A nurse who gave up on dating decided to pay for IVF treatment to have a baby on her own, before meeting her soulmate four months later—who became a devoted father.
The 39-year-old always dreamed she’d be married by age 30 and have a big family—but after a failed engagement and six years of unsuccessful dating she still hadn’t found her match.
Desperate to become a mother, Natalie Le Prevost decided to go it alone and paid thousands to undergo IVF in Spain, and got pregnant after her first IVF attempt.
More luck came her way at three months pregnant when she unexpectedly met Adam Rice—and the couple really hit it off.
“I had given up on love. I didn’t want to settle for something that didn’t feel right,” said the new mom from Devon, England.
“There was no chemistry,” she told Talk To The Press. “I gave up on love and just decided to go it alone.”
“I’m strong and independent and this was my life-long dream. Everything I’ve always wanted has fallen into place.”
Natalie had her first round of IVF in March 2025, and with the support of her parents welcomed her little boy Zavi-Emilio on Christmas Eve.
“I was on cloud nine,” she said. “I loved being pregnant.

Then, while she was four months pregnant, she went on a date with Adam, the electrician in the senior care home where she worked. From their first, she knew instantly that he was her soulmate.
Adam fully supported Natalie’s dream to be a mother, and even came to the hospital just after Zavi’s birth.
“I feel so lucky. Zavi is my little miracle. It’s amazing.”
The trio see each other five nights a week now.
“We’re soulmates. No relationship has felt like this before. We’re even born two-days apart.”
Adam found out Natalie was pregnant half way through our first date.
“I was surprised, but her honesty, her strength, the quiet courage in the way she told me, made me want to stay.
“With every date I felt myself falling for her more deeply.
“Watching her bump grow felt incredibly special, like I was witnessing the beginning of a story I somehow already belonged in.
“The first time I met Zavi, everything inside me just settled; I felt calm, steady and certain. I knew in that moment I was meant to be in his life.
“She was brave enough to choose motherhood on her own, strong enough to follow her heart without waiting for the “right” circumstances. And somehow, life brought us together anyway.
“She thought she would be doing this alone, but she won’t be. I feel unbelievably lucky to love them both.”
