In a sweet video posted by Toni, the baby’s mother, the former Spandau Ballet front man looked elated to at last be able to cradle his grandson. 

The video detailed the day Freddie was born, from when Toni went into the Labour Ward until she and her partner Andy Huntley brought their son home. 

It included footage of Tony sharing a sweet embrace with his daughter moments after she gave birth to her first child.

Toni gushed in the heart-warming’s post’s caption: ‘SAY HELLO TO OUR BEAUTIFUL BABY BOY – FREDDIE-FLOYD HADLEY HUNTLEY – BORN 19 MAY 2025. 

‘No words will ever come close to the love we feel for him. He is the most precious gift and already the centre of our world.

‘We still find ourselves staring at you every day, in disbelief and pure graтιтude that you’re ours. Freddie-Floyd, you’ve made us the happiest we’ve ever been.

‘You are everything. Your first week earthside has already been full of love, you’ve met your London Grandparents, your Great Nanny, Aunties and Uncle and the world hasn’t stopped falling for you since.

‘Here’s to the life we always dreamed of, finally whole with you in it. We love you, little man. Always.’

The birth of his new grandson comes as Tony prepares for a European tour later this year, having left Spand Ballet in 2017.

The 80s boyband, which consisted of Tony alongside brothers Martin and Gary Kemp, saxophonist Steve Norman and drummer John Keeble, had eight UK top 10 albums and ten UK top ten hits. 

Hits such as Gold made Tony and his bandmates household names during that era with their tunes regularly played at nightclubs across the country. 

But after leaving the group in 2017, Tony revealed his bandmates ‘made his life impossible’ during the height of their fame.

He later told The Mirror in 2023: ‘You could offer me all the tea in China and I wouldn’t get back with them. There’s no way.

‘I’m pretty easy-going, it takes a lot to get to that point but once you’ve pushed me and crossed that line, that’s it. I’m done.’

Tony continued: ‘There’s a very specific reason as to why I left and they’ve never been brave enough to say.

‘But it’s not my fault. The reason I left was not my fault,’ he added.

The 64-year-old had hinted that he may open to a farewell tour with his old bandmates – but nothing has materialised yet.
