Jake Quickenden and wife Sophie welcome second child together and share first snaps of baby boy
JAKE Quickenden and wife Sophie have welcomed their second child together – an adorable baby boy.
Back in August, the I’m A Celebrity alum, 36, posted an Instagram video showing the little family finding out they were set to welcome another little lad to the fold in a cute gender reveal.
Now their second child has arrived in the world, with the proud parents announcing the joyful news on Instagram alongside a series of sweet images.
Jake wrote: “Welcome to world little one. Kit Quickenden 6lb 13oz.
“Born 08/01/25 – As a dad I just want to say Sophie was incredible, thank you for delivering Kit and being so amazing.”
Jake and Sophie were inundated with messages of congratulations.
Tasha Ghouri commented: “Huge congratulations!!”
Daisy Wood David wrote: “Congratulations you guys!! Same birth weight as Ari he looks gorgeous xx”
While Charlotte Dawson added: “Congratulations guys, he’s so beautiful and Sophie you look insane!!!”
The cute couple married in 2022 after starting dating four years earlier.
They share son Leo, aged three, and Freddie, 10 – 31-year-old Sophie’s son from another relationship.
Jake proudly revealed the pair were expecting their second baby together in July.
In another cute social media post, the reality TV stalwart wrote: “WE HAVE NEWS…. soon to be five. We can finally let you know after a long time trying we are gonna bring another bundle of joy into the world.
“We are super excited. Can’t wait to live off two hours sleep again. Have a lovely Sunday.”
DAD DRAMA
Last year, Jake told Mother & Baby of the difficulties in being a first-time dad.
He said: “I did struggle, I had burnout and I did find myself sitting on the bed and letting a few tears out every now and again with Sophie, and admitting like ‘this is just this is so hard, I’m so tired’.
“I think it is a sleep deprivation thing and once that goes and you all start sleeping more, it just becomes so much more enjoyable.”
Meanwhile, the pair faced cruel trolling following their latest gender reveal – after some social media users suggested Sophie was “disappointed” at the prospect of another boy.
Defending his wife direct on Instagram, the dad wrote: “We are over the moon, as long as the little one is healthy and happy that’s all that matters.
“Soph would have liked a girl to back her up, but we are so used to boys and we couldn’t be happier.
“Can’t wait to see if he looks like Leo, can’t wait to watch Fred and Leo with him….
“Now we need to get a name??”
