“A massive thank you to the Midwife and the amazing team at the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital. 🙏🏻 x,” he wrote.
The new baby joins Beatrice’s step-son Christopher (nicknamed Wolfie) who is Edo’s first child with his former fiancee and architect Dara Huang.
Wolfie was born in 2016 and the five-year-old is excited step up into the role of big brother.
Edo and Dara continue to co-parent their son, and Beatrice is a proud step-mum to Wolfie.
