Kate Winslet welcomes third child

Luxe Models were over the moon to hear that Kate Winslet has given birth to a healthy baby boy at an NHS hospital in Sussex. The 9lb bundle of joy is her first with husband Ned RocknRoll and her third child over all.

The couple have been married for about a year now, having wed last December in New York, 18 months after they met. Ned RocknRoll is the nephew of billionaire tycoon Richard Branson. Born Abel Smith, he was formerly married to socialite Eliza Pearson. He changed his name by deed poll in 2008. He is employed at Virgin Galactic, Richard Branson’s space travel company, where he holds the title of Marketing Promotion and Astronaut Experience.

Winslet and RocknRoll were wed in an intimate ceremony just before Christmas last year, so intimate that apparently neither one of them told their parents! Kate’s two older children, Mia and Joe were there however, and rumour has it her Titanic co-star Leonardo DiCaprio gave her away.

Some sceptics have suggested that Kate is perhaps a bit of a “love-o-holic”, who enjoys being swept up in the romance of a new relationship, but the Luxe Models team reckons they’re total cynics! Ned and Kate seem really happy together and they’re no doubt going to have a great Christmas together with their darling addition.

We can’t wait to find out what they name him and whether or not he’ll take the surname of Winslet or RocknRoll…we know which one we’d prefer! For more stories like this, follow us on Twitter!

Celebrity Baby Bumps

Nadine Coyle of Girls Aloud fame recently announced that she is to be the first of the girls to become a mother, after she posted a picture of herself on Instagram with the words "I'm having a baby Xx" emblazoned across it. The team here at Luxe Models has noticed a recent spike in the number of celebs set to give birth in the coming months and we thought we'd give you a quick run-down of who's having!

We’re really excited to see that Emily Blunt and her Office star husband John Krasinski will be having a baby at some point this year. Blunt confirmed her pregnancy earlier this month. The couple have been married since 2010 and are said to be really happy with the news. Since both of them come from large families, we wonder if this is just the start of a large Krasinski-Blunt brood!

Former S Club 7 star Rachel Stevens and her husband Alex Bourne are expecting their second child, while Thandie Newton and Ol Parker will be having their third later in the year. Thandie is said to be over the moon about the news, and at 40, looks absolutely radiant with it. Another older mum-to-be is 43 year old Gwen Stefani, who is also expecting her third child with her actor husband Gavin Rossdale.

Kate Winslet will also become a mother for the third time, having recently announced that she’s pregnant. This will be her first child with husband Ned Rocknroll, whom she married secretly in December last year. There will also be another royal baby in the New Year when Zara Phillips will give birth to her first child with Mike Tindall.

Finally Frankie Sandford of The Saturdays will be giving birth to her baby boy any day now, joining fellow band-mates Una Healey and Rochelle Wiseman who are both mothers to little girls Aoife Belle and Alaia-Mai respectively.
