Jack Whitehall welcomes first child with girlfriend Roxy Horner
Congratulations!
Jack Whitehall has welcomed his first child with his girlfriend Roxy Horner. The couple had previously announced that they were expecting a baby girl, and are yet to reveal her name.
Sharing the happy news in a sweet post on Instagram, the 35-year-old comedian shared the first photos of his daughter and wrote: 'Well this just happened! Utterly overwhelming and joyous in ways I couldn't have even imagined.
'In awe of my partner @roxyhorner who has been amazing throughout this journey and is going to be the greatest mum ever. So excited to have started a family of my own. Having vowed I’d never be that guy I am now 100% going to be the parent that shows everyone endless pictures of their kid.
'I also wore skechers to hospital, I think I must accept I am a full blown dad now.'
Jack ended the post by joking about his newborn baby's name, adding: 'Name wise after this weekend I think 'rice, rice, baby' has a nice ring to it.'
The post was met with thousands of congratulatory messages from fans and fellow famous faces. Dr Alex George wrote: 'Congratulations.' Dwayne Johnson commented: 'Rock, DJ, Dwayne or Dwanette...all amazing names! Congratulations brother to you and amazing mama!!'
One person said: 'Aww congratulations to you both, welcome to the world baby Whitehall.' Someone else added: 'Huge congratulations to you both! What a lovely family you have.'
Another person wrote: 'Can't wait for all the embarrassing things you'll be saying in stand-up in the years to come.'
Jack has been in a relationship with 32-year-old model Roxy since 2020. The pair announced the news that they were expecting their baby back in May, by sharing a sweet black and white snap with a baby scan.
Roxy revealed the gender of their baby on Steph's Packed Lunch in June. She said: "We are having a little girl. We have thought of some names, but I feel like there are none that are really sticking out."
Congratulations to Jack and Roxy!
