Arriving at our shoot at Essex’s plush Hutton Hall with their new bundle of joy, Cara De La Hoyde-Massey and husband Nathan Massey couldn’t look more smitten.
The couple are beaming and can’t wait to show off their nine-day-old daughter Delilah Kelly, as big brother FreddieGeorge, two, proudly looks on.
“I love doing shoots like this because I love the memories and it’s nice to look back on them,” Cara, 30, tells us.
Baby Delilah arrived three weeks early on 28 July at Darent Valley Hospital in Kent, after Cara was diagnosed with pre-eclampsia.
She was induced over four days, but once Cara was in labour Delilah arrived in a matter of hours, weighing a healthy 6lb 6oz. The birth was so speedy Nathan almost missed it!
The couple, who married in June last year, have been learning to adapt as a family of four, and so far so good. Describing their routine as “a well-oiled machine”, Nathan, 28, tells us, “I was shitting myself at the start, but it’s been pretty good. I can even sneak in a few rounds of golf!”
“It’s quite handy as my mum is currently on furlough,” Cara adds. “She’s been coming around and helping me and my nan’s been doing all my washing.”
Nathan is already back to work as a stonemason after four days’ leave, but he has plenty of praise for his wife, who he describes as “his hero”. Aw!
