Former Wiggle’s baby joy: I love my new life

Yellow Wiggle Greg Page is singing with joy over his gorgeous baby girl and new band, writes Jacqui Lang.

The clothes are not as familiar, nor the tunes, but there is no mistaking that voice. After three long years, the former Yellow Wiggle, Greg Page, is back where he belongs – in the studio making music.

And his new country rock band already has at least one adoring new fan – a beautiful baby girl. Greg and his partner, Vanessa Miller, welcomed little Lara Brooke Miller Page to the world this month. Weighing 3.5kg, Lara is a picture of health, and Greg couldn’t be prouder.

“I’m thrilled,” he says. “It’s a wonderful time for Vanessa and me, welcoming a new member to our family.” Lara has struck a chord with the entire family, with Greg’s children, Blaine, 19, and Madison, 12, as well as Vanessa’s two, Hayden, 7, and Claudia, 5, all doting on their new sister.

And Greg is determined not to let his new project interfere with his time with Lara. “I’ve spoken with Vanessa about getting the [touring] formula right. It’s not ever going to be how it was with The Wiggles,” he says, shaking his head. “I put in the hard yards then, during my 16 years with the group, and now it’s time to enjoy my life with Vanessa and the kids.”

Of course, the tireless entertainer promises he will still spend some time on the road. “I’m really excited,” says the 37-year-old of touring. “I love being on stage, and being a part of creating music. I missed that for such a long time.”
