Baby Arrives Early
Laura Whitmore and Iain Stirling Announce Unexpected Early Arrival of Second Child
Anonymous
Television personality Laura Whitmore and comedian husband Iain Stirling have announced the birth of their second child. In an Instagram post, Whitmore shared a close-up photo of their newborn’s tiny hand resting on her chest and said the baby arrived unexpectedly early, about a month before her original timeline. She joked that she had prepared a five-hour “birthing playlist,” only managing a few songs, and described the early days as full of baby smells, sleepless nights, and “scrumptious” hands and wrists. The couple, who already have a daughter, Stevie Ré, revealed earlier this year that they were expecting and had kept the pregnancy largely private. They have not yet publicly shared the baby’s gender or name, and friends and followers quickly sent congratulations.
