In the snap, she cradled their baby boy alongside the comedy writer, but stopped short of revealing the tot’s face in the sweet snap.‌Announcing the little one’s name as Kit Beddows, she began a lengthy caption: “Baby Kit arrived a couple weeks ago (born raving to Fatboy Slim) and after saying we’d NEVER have kids…it was absolute love at first sight. He is the sweetest thing.‌“He’s actually SO adorbs, I did debate whether the IVF clinic got our embryos mixed up and we’ve ended up with the child of a much more good-looking couple, y’know the kind of story you’d see on the front cover of Take A Break magazine? Anyway, I’m keeping him because I’m OBSSSSED.‌“I feel like I have a million things to say about motherhood, about choosing (or choosing not) to have children, about IVF, about the career-parenthood paradox…I’ll try and get round to that when my brain’s working again. But for now I’m just embarrassingly grateful for Luke who is THE funnest person to do this with.”The former CBBC presenter added: “For amazing, clever doctors. For the people who look after my work for being so supportive while I take a little break for the first time since I was 21(!?!)“And for the friends, family and neighbours who have filled our house with cards and flowers and gifts and Deliveroo vouchers and said the words ‘let us know if you need anything’. (Also grateful for champagne, that first glass absolutely banged) LUCKY.”‌Right on cue, fans and famous faces rushed into the comments, sharing sweet messages for the new parents - who got married in 2021. Capital FM’s Sonny Jay penned: “Awww congratulations. Enjoy the baby bubble.”“OMG congratulations you gorgeous mama! What an amazing name! Sending love to the 3 of you,” Michelle Ackerley wrote, as a fan said: “Aw! Glad you got hit with the love bomb. You two are going to make awesome parents.”“Congratulations both, you'll be the best parents. Kit will 100% be a rock star,” another agreed, while an Instagram user added: “What a set of beauties. I'm blubbing for you. Welcome to the world little Kit. Your parents rock. Xxxxx.”‌Lauren announced her pregnancy back in March, and revealed that she had undergone IVF treatments to start a family. Unveiling her growing baby bump in stunning pictures, she said at the time: “Guys, in what’s been called “a very off-brand” move from us…we’re having an actual baby!“After almost 20 years(!) together, little IVF baby Beddows arrives to ruin our lives in June (Honestly there’s been SO MUCH going on I need to tell you about).”‌The following month, she shed light on how her pregnancy journey was coming along, branding it “rough” in a candid Instagram caption.“Things I like and dislike about being pregnant,” she penned. “I like: having my bump out. It’s made me realise how much TIME we spend sucking in, trying not to breathe out, tightening, calorie-controlling, running, crunching, pilatesing, Ozempicing, ordering Skims, not ordering dessert… God its exhausting isn't it? I love bowling about like a Teletubby and not hating myself.“I dislike: everything else. Pregnancy is rough. I REFUSE to believe there are people out there who loved it, it's impossible.”Article continues belowLike this story?
