Sylvia Jeffreys and Peter Stefanovic are officially parents to two boys under two!
The couple announced the safe arrival of their second son on Wednesday, April 7 via their social media accounts.
Announcing his name, and their first words about their beautiful boy, Sylvia wrote alongside a gorgeous picture of her son: “Henry 💫 Our gorgeous, healthy little boy makes us a family of four. His proud parents couldn’t be happier. His big brother is learning to be gentle. Big love all around.”
Their beautiful little boy is a much welcomed baby brother for older sibling Oscar Stefanovic, one.
Today Extra star Sylvia, 34, announced she was pregnant with her “miracle” second son in October last year.
“When you find out you’re getting a best bud for life. Oscar’s little brother due in April next year. We are so lucky,” the presenter mused alongside a photo of Sky News star Peter holding Oscar in the air.
The couple have been open about their struggle to conceive their first child through IVF so despite their initial shock at falling pregnant naturally just eight months after giving birth to Oscar, it was a much welcome blessing.
“The second time around it was… spontaneous I’d say,” Sylvia recently told the Australian Women’s Weekly.
“We hadn’t planned to go down that path so soon, but having had not an entirely easy path the first time around, you can’t be anything but thankful or grateful to have fallen pregnant this way.”
“Having said that, it’s definitely a tight turnaround and people think we’re nuts! When we tell them our boys will be 14 or 15 months apart, they roll their eyes and say, ‘Good luck!’ But the silver lining is that, with the world being the way it is right now, we’re not missing out on anything being stuck in the baby bubble. So we may as well stay here in the zone and ride it out,” she noted.
The journalist recently revealed on-air the emotional struggle she faced going through IVF.
“We’re so thrilled after not the easiest path first time around; we’re grateful for this gift, another boy,” Sylvia told Today Extra viewers.
“Two boys under two is going to be wild. If you have any advice how to handle the chaos, let me know!”
As well as a doting big bro, Peter and Sylvia’s second bub joins a loving gang of “cuzzies”, including Karl and Jasmine Stefanovic’s ten-month-old daughter Harper Stefanovic.
“But both Pete and I grew up really close to our cousins and aunts and uncles, and we’d like to replicate that for our children. We’ve been fortunate that, on both sides of our family, Oscar was born at a similar time to other babies. So we’ve got a lovely little gang of cuzzies, which is great,” the popular TV star explained to The Weekly of their tight family bond.
A huge congratulations to the expanding Stefanovic clan on their newest addition!
