The One Show star announces his wife has given birth to their second child as he shares sweet newborn snaps

The One Show star Ade Adepitan has revealed his wife Linda has given birth to their second child as he shared sweet newborn snaps on Sunday.

The Paralympian, 51, and the singer, 34, who wed back in 2018, already share son Bolla, three, together who was born in January 2021.

Ade, who often appears on the BBC show, and Linda were attending the world premiere of Come Alive The Greatest Showman in London last year, where she proudly showed off her baby bump.

‘I was pushing around looking at everyone and I saw this mᴀssive smile beaming out,’ he previously told HELLO! magazine.

‘She had an aura, something about her, so I made a beeline. I fell in love straight away.’

Adepitan and Linda became parents in 2021 when they welcomed a son, Bolla, together. 

Ade wrote on Instagram at the time: ‘I’m still buzzing!! Because at 6:36 am this morning I became a father for the first time. 

‘So much respect for my wife @ElleExxe she absolutely smashed it, and now we have a beautiful baby boy!’

A few weeks before Linda shared a picture of her bump as she posed with Ade on Instagram, writing that the baby was due on Jan 12. 

She penned: ‘In non-Christmas and Covid or music news… my bump keeps bumping into things.

‘Just 3 weeks to go til baby Adepifam! The due date is a palindrome 12.1.21 but I heard on average first babies are 10 days late. Place your bets. Exxe x.’

Ade shared the same pH๏τo and wrote: ‘The next 4 weeks are gonna be eventful. 

‘That’s saying something after the year we’ve all had, but yep it feels like we’re about to begin a new chapter a new adventure.  

‘I’m feeling a mixture of excitement, and trepidation but mostly excitement! 

‘Keep an eye out for our posts as one day very soon you might just see a new member of the @adepifam appear on your feed.

‘We better get as much [sleep] as we can before the big day. Well, that’s what everybody keeps telling us. #baby #bump.’ 

Ade earned an MBE in 2005 for services to disability sport, which gave him the right to marry Linda, 30, in the quire of St Paul’s Cathedral on August 11, 2018. 

The sportsman told Hello! at the time: ‘Everyone says it’s the best day of your life but it was probably better than that. 

‘We were ordinary people in an extraordinary place and you could see everyone take a breath as they looked around at the grand surroundings. It was slightly overwhelming.

‘She looked so so beautiful. My eyes started watering, and quite a few of my friends turned their faces away as they didn’t want to start crying, too.’ 

Ade said his friends were were saying that ‘people like us don’t have weddings like that’ he and said he and Linda are both ‘dreamers, who set our goals high.’ 

The ceremony was watched by 170 friends and family members and the publication wrote that it was a ‘traditional service for the Nigeria-born groom and Scottish bride’.
