Many new parents might find the prospect of three children daunting – but not Aston Villa midfielder Henri Lansbury and his fiancée Natalie Brown.
The couple welcomed their first son Hendrix Maxwell, who weighed a healthy 8lb 1oz, on 29 October – a little baby brother for daughters Marley, who turns nine this week, and Mila, two.
And throughout OK!’s exclusive shoot, the picture-perfect family is the definition of happiness. The relaxed new parents even manage to hide their tiredness, as the girls dote on their new little brother, showering him with kisses in between shots.
“They wanted a girl initially, but they’ve been won over,” 35-year-old model Natalie smiles. “They’re so in love with him!”
And the girls aren’t the only ones who are besotted. Henri, 30, is overjoyed to have another boy around the house, even if he did sleep through the labour!
“I’d gone home to look after the girls and after bath time and bedtime, I was fast asleep,” Henri explains. “Obviously I was gutted not to be there, but it was amazing knowing that they were both safe.”
