Laura Woods jokes she is ‘fuming’ after finding her newborn son wearing gear of Arsenal’s Premier League rivals
LAURA WOODS has joked she is “fuming” with fiance Adam Collard after finding their newborn son wearing gear from another Premier League club.
Woods and Collard announced the arrival of their baby boy on Saturday after revealing they were expecting back in July.
The new parents are on cloud nine after welcoming their first kid and revealing his name, Leo Ernie Collard.
But they could be about to have their first barney as parents after Woods joked that she wasn’t too happy after Collard posted a photo of little Leo wearing Newcastle United merch.
The former Love Island star, who is a big Newcastle fan, took to Instagram to share a snap of his son wearing a onesie that read “Mini Magpie”.
He shared the picture with a sneaky jibe at his wife-to-be, writing: “If you aren’t the first, you’re last @laurawoodsy”.
But Woods, an avid Arsenal supporter, was less than impressed by the cheeky outfit choice, sharing the photo on her own Instagram story with the caption: “Fuming”.
Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta had already tried to get ahead of the curve by gifting Woods with some Arsenal merch for the little one back in December.
But it appears that Collard has got in there first and is hoping to raise another member of the Toon Army instead of a baby Gooner.
Things could get heated in the happy couple’s household next week when Newcastle host Arsenal in the second leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final.
How Laura Woods tamed Love Island bad boy Adam Collard
HE was one of Love Island's most notorious bad boys - but one woman seems to have changed all that.
Personal trainer Adam Collard, 28, has been dating Euro 2024 presenter Laura Woods, 36, since 2023.
The former loverat has called her “The One,” spent Christmas with her – the first time he’s done so with a girlfriend since he was 21 – and kept their relationship relatively out of the limelight, seemingly on Laura’s wishes.
It’s a far cry from the man who admits himself he’s been “ruthless” in the past, claims to have had 25 girlfriends, and spent many years partying and juggling flings with girls including Zara McDermott and Lottie Moss.
Relationship expert Jo Hemmings says: “He’s now 28, he’s a professional with a job, and I think he just went off the whole idea of ever realistically meeting somebody on a TV show.
“He’s now met somebody who is also a professional, and is only on TV as a byproduct of what she does in sport.
“He’s got himself in a comfortable place. Financially, he’s older, he’s more mature, he’s more settled.
“He once played into this roguish character that people saw him as, and became a parody of himself. But look who’s laughing now.
“He’s got a fabulous girlfriend, they’re in a long term relationship, he’s well off, he’s still in the public eye, and he’s getting on with his life in the way that I think he always wanted.”
Eddie Howe‘s Magpies hold a 2-0 lead from the first leg and will be confident that they can book their spot at Wembley in March given they will be defending their two-goal advantage at St James’ Park.
ITV host Woods worked the entire Euro 2024 campaign managing to keep the joyful news of her pregnancy a secret.
The ex-talkSPORT radio star went public with the news between the Euros and Olympics in the summer.
The TV presenter and award-winning journalist shared a picture of an ultrasound on Instagram, complete with her French bulldog peeking over the top.
Since then, Woods has shared regular baby bump updates with her legion of fans on social media.
It has been a big 12 months for Laura, having also announced she and partner Adam got engaged in September having first started dating in 2023.
The former social media and reality TV star got down on one knee on a beach in Cornwall to pop the question.
Adam rose to fame after appearing on Love Island – TWICE. He also took part in Celebs Go Dating.
