Lauren Layfield Welcomes Baby Boy After IVF Struggle

Radio 1 presenter Lauren Layfield has given birth to her first child after an battle.

The 38-year-old revealed she had called her baby boy Kit and shared a sweet family photo with her husband Luke Beddows to announce the happy news on Tuesday. 

She penned in the caption of her post: 'KIT BEDDOWS. Baby Kit arrived a couple weeks ago (born raving to Fatboy Slim) and after saying we'd NEVER have kids…it was absolute love at first sight. He is the sweetest thing.

'He's actually SO adorbs, I did debate whether the IVF clinic got our embryos mixed up and we've ended up with the child of a much more good-looking couple, y'know the kind of story you'd see on the front cover of 'Take A Break' magazine?

'Anyway, I'm keeping him because I'm OBSESSED. I feel like I have a million things to say about motherhood, about choosing (or choosing not) to have children, about IVF, about the career-parenthood paradox…

'I'll try and get round to that when my brain's working again. But for now I'm just embarrassingly grateful for Luke who is THE funniest person to do this with. For amazing, clever doctors. 

'For the people who look after my work for being so supportive while I take a little break for the first time since I was 21(!?!) And for the friends, family and neighbours who have filled our house with cards and flowers and gifts and Deliveroo vouchers and said the words 'let us know if you need anything.'

'(Also grateful for champagne, that first glass absolutely banged.) LUCKY.'

Her post was flooded with words of congratulations from friends and family.

She revealed her pregnancy back in March.

'After almost 20 years(!) together, little baby Beddows arrives to ruin our lives in June,' she said.

'(Honestly there's been SO MUCH going on I need to tell you about).'
