Tess Holliday has baby news!
A rep for the model mom announced today that she and her fiancé Nick Holliday welcomed a son on June 6. The baby is the couple’s first together, but the second child for Tess, who also has 10-year-old son Rylee.
The plus-size beauty confirmed the happy news just this afternoon, taking to Instagram to share a sweet first shot of her little one – and to reveal his rock ‘n roll name, too!
“Our handsome little guy is here, Bowie Juniper Holliday 🎉👶🏼💕 @nickhollidayco snapped this while I was dressing him to go home,” she captioned the photo. (See it here!)
Tess, 30, has been busy documenting her pregnancy on social media over the past several months, proudly sharing pictures of her growing bump.
“When people say to me ‘I can’t tell you’re pregnant…’ I will continue to live unapologetically, to thrive in this body, prove the naysayers wrong & laugh at the ignorance,” she captioned a recent nude pregnancy selfie.
As for her baby name pick, while Bowie is far from the top 10, it’s perhaps not quite as unique as you might think.
Actress Zoe Saldana chose the names Bowie and Cy for her twin boys, born in 2014. Designer Rebecca Minkoff picked it for her daughter, too.
With the sad passing of music legend David Bowie early this year, we could see the popularity of the name continue to rise. In fact, a look at BabyCenter’s baby name database shows that Bowie has jumped 1,487 spots on the ranking so far in 2016!
With baby Bowie now back home, Tess will have plenty of opportunities to dust off her diapering skills: “It’s been 10 years since I had a kid, so there are so many things that are new,” she recently admitted. “My friends that have babies are posting all of these new swings and breastfeeding techniques and new bottles, and it’s really overwhelming because I thought, ‘I’ve already done all this,’ but it feels like I haven’t. I’m having to relearn a lot!”
