Lydia beamed to the camera as she clutched her little one, as Lucy, 28, was seen waving on the far end of the blanket as she breastfed Roman.

Both ladies looked effortlessly chic for their date, with Lydia donning a simple black vest, Lucy rocking a leopard print playsuit and both ladies sporting dark shades. 

Lydia, who shares Loretta with boyfriend Lee Cronin, captioned the clip writing: ‘so happy to be reunited’ as the song Reunited by Peaches and Herb played in the background. 

The ladies were also treated to lunch by Lucy’s beau Ryan, who whipped up a delicious-looking salad.

While after the meet-up, Lydia dropped in on her TOWIE pal Georgia Kousoulou, after stating that she ‘couldn’t go to Brentwood and not visit’ her.

Lucy added in the comments: ‘Love you x’. 

Lydia previously revealed the pair discovered they were pregnant on the same day. 

Speaking on The Bright’s podcast, the Essex beauty said: ‘I’ll never forget the day we both found out we were pregnant. 

‘Basically, we were both due to start filming on Celebrity Hunted, I thought it would be a good idea to do a pregnancy test a couple of days before because I was off birth control and it came back positive to my shock.

‘Because I fell pregnant very quickly, I gave Lucy a call, and she guessed that I was pregnant. 

‘So she ran out and got a pregnancy test and called me 6 hours later and said she was pregnant as well. I mean, it’s crazy. You couldn’t write it.’

Once the pair found out they were expecting a boy and a girl, they joked their children would fall in love when they get older and get married.
