If anyone can claim to be feeling in the pink, it’s TV and radio presenter Neev Spencer, who has become a mum for the second time.
“I am over the moon, I couldn’t be happier to have another little girl. Everything is pink – the pram is pink, the car seat is pink, even my second car is pink,” smiles Neev, who gave birth to Vivienne, her second child, just days before big sister Genevieve’s third birthday.
“I love pink unashamedly and Genevieve has been like my little doll and has so many stunning dresses, so it is extremely thrifty to think that Vivienne is going to get to enjoy them as well,” says Neev, who welcomes HELLO! to her London home with her husband, advertising designer Chan.
“Genevieve adores her new little sister, singing to her and stroking her face, although if Vivienne starts crying she covers her ears! I love to sing to them, although I’m not sure how good it is,” laughs 35-year-old Neev.
“Both girls were on my radio show on Kiss FM every day while I was pregnant, hearing music through the womb, so they love it.”
This time around, however, the pregnancy and the early days with a new baby have been “completely different”, due in part to the struggle the couple went through to conceive with Genevieve.
“I went into this whole experience so differently. With our first baby, it was such a scary time as you don’t know what to expect, and I was definitely going through some prenatal depression,” explains Neev.
AN OLYMPIC PREGNANCY
