Gretchen Rossi is one step closer to becoming a mum after fiancé Slade Smiley allegedly got a secret vasectomy reversal.

The Real Housewives of Orange County star has spoken in the past about her longing for a child and according to reports for Grethen's birthday this year her future husband had the operation that would finally let them start a family.

“For Gretchen’s birthday this year, Slade really did surprise her with the best gift ever,” an insider told RadarOnline. “The big gift he gave her was that he told her he had decided to reverse his vasectomy for her.”

“She was floored and later the two of them decided to share their journey with the world. Slade never ceases to amaze her and this was one of the best gifts she has ever gotten.”

While she's no longer on RHOC, fans will reportedly be able to follow Slade's journey on an upcoming episode of CBS's The Doctors.

“They have already filmed it and he is fully recovered,” the insider went on.

“The episode is scheduled to run in the next couple of weeks.”

According to the source Gretchen, 36, is hoping to conceive as soon as possible so it won't be long before we hear the pitter-patter of tiny feet.

“She will get pregnant in no time. They find each other irresistible," the source added.

“She is looking forward to spending the rest of her life with him and is extremely excited about getting pregnant. This is a dream come true and the two of them are very happy.”

Gretchen has previously spoken out about Slade's vasectomy - which he had before the couple started dating - telling OK! Magazine they were determined to become parents.

“We’re working really hard right now to have a baby. He actually has a vasectomy so he has to get a reversal and we have to kind of figure that all out,” She said last year. “We are taking the steps to try to have a baby.”

She also admitted that while they've been engaged for years having a baby is her top priority. Speaking to Celebuzz in 2013 she said she was "focusing" on becoming a mum rather than planning their big day.

A representative for the stars has been contacted by the Mirror about the claims.
