Rhian Sugden reveals her newborn son’s traditional name as she brands him ‘the love of my life’
RHIAN Sugden has revealed her newborn son’s name – and fans love it.
The model, 37, gave birth to her first child last week but wait until last night to share his name with her followers on Instagram.
She posted a new smiley picture of the little lad and simply captioned it: “George Mellor. The love of my life!”
It was a hit with fans, with one writing: “Definitely a Gorgeous George!! A perfect fit, Rhian.”
Another said: “Perfect name for a perfect baby boy.”
A third shared: “Aww. Love the name George.”
It followed a sleepless night, with Rhian sharing another picture to mark George’s due date.
In the mirror selfie, Rhian wore black underwear and cradled her son while standing in her bedroom.
She said: “Last night was a wild ride!
“Today is officially his due date! Look at the size of him! How he fit in there I have no idea! Women’s bodies are so incredible!
“Int milk brilliant.”
Rhian and actor husband Oliver Mellor welcomed George at the end of April.
His arrival was the culmination of an emotional IVF journey.
Rhian detailed her fertility story with The Sun, stating: “We spent just under £150,000 on IVF. It feels like we were trying for a baby forever.
“This was going to be our last round. We’d spent so much and were going to look at other options, like surrogacy.”
She confessed that being able to earn thousands of pounds a day on subscription site OnlyFans had allowed her and her hubby to afford to undergo numerous rounds of treatment.
The star added: “I’ve got good boobs and I’m not ashamed of OnlyFans.
“I’ve made more money on OnlyFans than I have in my whole career.
“There are so many topless pictures of me out there, and I thought why not. I was earning a few thousand a day.
“Ollie thinks it’s a bizarre concept that all these men will pay money to see his wife’s boobs, and he gets the benefits of IVF.”
Rhian and Oliver married in 2018 and have been open about their desire to start a family ever since.
Busty Rhian rose to fame as one of the most popular Page Three pin-ups of the late noughties and early 2010s before having a stint in the Celebrity Big Brother house.
Meanwhile, actor Oliver is most well-known for his role as hunky doctor Matt Carter in Corrie between 2011 and 2013.
