The caption read: “This is our Louie Adam Jenkins. Welcome the family kid! Two days of pure love. 28.04.2025. 8lb4 of magic”.
Many shared their excitement at the news, with one fan saying: “Congrats to you all so lush!!! Enjoy your family bubble”. While another fan said’ “Gorgeous just like his big bro!” Another described little Louie as “cute as a button”.
On April 18, Sophie posted an update on Instagram, revealing that the day marked her due date.
However, there was no sign of “baby Jenks” — a nickname given to their unborn child by influencer Sophie Harris.
Fans eagerly awaited the big announcement, but it seemed the baby had decided to keep everyone on their toes.
As the days went on, Ellis couldn’t contain his excitement and shared his own updates, showing just how eager the family was to meet the new addition.
Taking to Instagram, the Wales International wrote: “Counting down the days until baby number 2 arrives. We can’t wait to meet him and Jack is so excited to be a big brother!”
Despite the anticipation, the days stretched on, and it wasn’t until ten days after her due date that Sophie confirmed the arrival of their baby.
On April 27, around 9pm, Sophie posted an amusing Instagram story where she snapped a selfie of herself smiling thoughtfully, cheekily captioning it: “Still pregnant.”
Following this, at nearly 12pm on April 28, Sophie shared another Instagram story.
This time, the frame showed a baby’s arm peeking into the shot, offering a glimpse of the newborn. With a beaming smile, Sophie captioned it: “… Not pregnant.”
The Tonypandy singer, who shot to fame on BBC talent show, Over the Rainbow and has since found success in the West End production of Wicked and as part of the Wales of the West End singing group, promised her followers a ‘full birth story’ soon on her TikTok, but shared that she was “feeling good” following the labour this week.
