James Middleton (36) recently became a father for the first time. According to media reports, Princess Kate’s younger brother (41) has now confirmed this via Instagram. Middleton posted several pictures showing him, the child and his dogs.
“He’s only been in our lives for a few weeks, but it’s been the most extraordinary time of my life getting to know our beautiful little boy,” the proud dad enthuses in the attached comment. “No matter how prepared I thought I was… I was not prepared for the overwhelming emotions of meeting Inigo for the first time or the love for my beloved Alizée when we became three.” Middleton has been married to his wife, Alizée Thevenet, since 2021.
“We settled into our new life as parents and I told him everything about Ella, how he wouldn’t be here today without her and that we miss her very much,” Middleton continued. In January he had to announce that his beloved dog had died in his arms after 15 years together. According to a report in Britain’s The Telegraph, he met Alizée through Ella. The dog had simply made her way to his current wife at the South Kensington Club.
The first Instagram photo also shows a picture of Ella, Middleton’s hand and his son’s hand. In a second photo, the baby can be seen with the other dogs in the family, who “welcomed her little brother to the pack fantastically.” He then finally poses for a third photo with a baby carrier and the dogs.
Last but not least, Middleton thanks the “wonderful team” at Basingstoke Hospital. He and his wife couldn’t have felt better cared for from the very first scan to the moment they left the hospital with the baby.
