Olly Murs and wife Amelia Tank welcome baby boy with regal name
Congratulations!
Olly Murs and his wife Amelia Tank have announced the arrival of their second child, a little boy called Albert.
The Dance With Me Tonight hitmaker, 41, and body builder Amelia, 32, announced the happy news on social media today with a sweet photo of them leaving hospital as a family.
The singer is pictured holding a baby carrier in his right hand and their first child, little Madison – who they welcomed last year – in his other arm.
‘Walking out as four. Welcome to the world, our little Albert,’ they wrote alongside the picture, as fans and friends congratulated the pair.
On Easter weekend the couple announced they were expecting a baby in a black and white video on social media, alongside the words: ‘We’re so egg-cited to share this..… Another Baby Murs on the way.’
Amelia and Olly married in July 2023, and fans were treated to a video of the emotional moment the teary singer watched his wife walk down the aisle.
Olly and Amelia posted this sweet family photo on social media (Picture: @ollymurs/Instagram) 48 hours after the birth of Madison last year Olly had to go on the road with Take That (Picture: Mike Lewis Photography/Redferns)Olly previously confirmed that he’d ‘cried like a four-year-old’ on his wedding day, which was held in a secluded venue on Osea Island in the Blackwater Estuary.
This time around, Olly made sure he was there to bring his family home and spend quality time, as just 48 hours after Madison was born he left to go on the road with Take That.
‘It’s been the most craziest time,’ he said last year after Madison’s arrival, per Daily Mail.
‘Because obviously, on one hand I’ve got this beautiful baby girl, my wife is at home looking after her with the nappies, and the sleepless nights.
‘And I’m on tour with Take That. I feel guilty!’
Amelia and Olly have been candid about the ups and downs of parenting – which they think is important (Picture: Neil Mockford/GC Images)The X Factor star also admitted he never thought he’d be a dad, so it was ‘awesome’ and he ‘can’t quite believe it’.
Talking on Giovanna Fletcher’s Happy Mum Happy Baby podcast in January, Olly admitted to being ‘panicked and scared’ when tasked with being a first-time parent.
Getting emotional at the memory, Olly said it was ‘hard to get a connection’ with Madison, having left straight after her birth.
Last month, in an interview with The Mirror, Olly stressed the importance of being candid about the highs and lows of parenting.
‘There’s no point being all happy and Instagrammy and, “It’s all amazing.” I’m very honest. Being parents is unbelievable, but at the same time it’s extremely hard,’ he said.
‘Being pregnant, Amelia hasn’t been able to go to the gym much, which is her hobby. You don’t want to lose who you are, so it’s about finding a balance,’ he said.
Amelia also opened up about how difficult her first birth was.
‘We were planning a natural birth, but Madi was in a precarious position. She was transverse [sideways] so we didn’t have an option,’ she said.
‘The recovery was brutal and I wish people had been more honest about that.’
