Just 72 hours after welcoming their new baby boy, Kieran Hayler and his fiancée Michelle Penticost headed to a new ’s shoot to show off their adorable new addition, Apollo Phoenix Hayler.
Michelle, 39, who had a planned C-section due to medical reasons, tells us it was tiring but worth the effort to celebrate their beautiful new family member.
“I was tired, but it was just nice to be doing something to show him off,” explains Michelle, who also has an 11-year-old son, Valentino.
And for 34-year-old dad Kieran – who shares two children, Jett, eight, and Bunny, seven, with ex-wife Katie Price – the new arrival has really brought their blended household together.
“He’s slotted into our family perfectly, so it’s nice we can grow and move forward together,” he tells us. “He’s super cute, the perfect little package. We’re completely in a baby bubble, it’s so nice.”
Kieran met Michelle in 2018 through his children’s primary school, which Valentino also attended. The couple got engaged in spring 2020 and revealed to new earlier this year that they were expecting their first child together.
Here, the loved-up parents exclusively introduce their sweet son, tell us about their older children’s reaction to their new brother and give us an update on their wedding plans...
Congratulations, guys! Are you both on cloud nine right now?
Kieran: We’re so happy. A bit exhausted, but really happy.
Tell us about his name…
