Myleene Klass shares unusual name for her baby boy after 'traumatic' birth

Myleene Klass has revealed the unusual name she and her partner have chosen for their baby boy.

The mother of three announced she had welcomed her son on August 1, in a sweet Instagram snap.

And now the radio presenter has shared she and partner Simon Motson have called their baby boy Apollo.

In a tell all interview with Hello! magazine  the mum-of-three revealed her birth was fraught with difficulties, and that having a child in her forties was a very different experience to giving birth as a younger woman.

The former Hear'Say star gave birth to her first daughter at 29, who is now 12 years old and was 32 when she delivered her sister Hero, eight.

However despite an easy beginning to her third labour, the mum revealed how it became much more complicated.

Myleene, 41, told Hello! magazine: “My waters broke and I was in the birthing pool.

"We had a really easy first three hours, to the point that I thought we would all be home by 7pm.

“But I don’t remember what happened next.

“I lost five hours of my life and it was a pretty complicated birth in the end.”

She also said how she is enjoying every minute of being a new mum again - even the night feeds.

She added: “Having a baby in your 40s is an extremely different experience.

"I love the night feeds - it’s a privilege to look at his little face during the night. I know how quickly this will go.

“I’m loving every single minute. I even miss my baby bump.”

Apollo is the first child for Myleene and her partner Simon Motson, 45, a fashion PR, who has two children from his previous marriage.

Myleene’s former husband Graham Quinn, father of her two daughters, walked out on her just six months after their wedding.

She later admitted to turning to drink to get through the break-up.

The full interview can be read in Hello! magazine, out now.
