Emma Louise Connolly has welcomed her second child, a boy, with her Made In Chelsea star husband, Oliver Proudlock.

The model, 33, and former reality star, 37, announced the exciting news with a sweet black and white photo of them cradling their newborn in hospital on Instagram on Thursday.

The couple, who married in 2020 and also have a two-year-old daughter Bonnie, revealed their son’s unique name in the caption - Levi Fox Proudlock.

“He's here. Our hearts are fuller, our home louder, and our arms forever occupied. Levi Fox Proudlock, the perfect piece to complete our family of four,” they wrote.

Their famous friends flooded the comments section with congratulatory messages, with Giovanna Fletcher writing: “Oh my loves!!! Huge congratulations!!! Xxxx”

Rochelle Humes penned, “Oh congratulations guys,” and their Made In Chelsea co-stars, Jamie Laing and his wife Sophie Habboo, left a string of love heart emojis.

On Friday morning, Connolly and Proudlock melted hearts again as they shared a video of their daughter Bonnie cradling a sleeping Levi on her chest.

“When Bonnie met Levi (and our hearts exploded),” they captioned the joint post.

The toddler declared that she was holding her new brother Levi and that he “came out of your tummy”, referring to her mother Connolly.

Proudlock could then be heard saying: “He loves you so much.”

Connolly and Proudlock announced on New Year’s Eve that they were expecting their second child.

Connolly shared a video of herself showing off her baby bump while she and her husband fussed over their daughter.

“2024, thank you for the greatest gift ever! Our hearts and hands are gonna be fuller than ever in 2025, and we couldn't be more excited!” she captioned the heart-warming clip.

“Sending love and wishing you all the happiest of New Years. Yeah Baby!”

Proudlock and Connolly met in person in 2014 after exchanging messages for four years.

They got engaged in August 2018 after Proudlock proposed during a romantic trip to Gothenburg, Sweden, and married in a small church ceremony in Fulham, London, on December 15, 2020.

The couple welcomed their first child, Bonnie Lou, in May 2022.
