Made in Chelsea star Jessica Woodley has welcomed her first child. The reality TV star, 30, shared her happy news with her followers along with the first photo of her newborn.
She joined the hit reality series in 2015 where she dated Jamie Laing before quitting in 2017. Jessica revealed in June that she was expecting a baby with her filmmaker partner, Mark Logan.
Now, the couple are embracing their next stage in life as Jessica gave birth at their home in Ireland. Sharing her happy news, she said: “We welcomed our son on Friday at home, heart is broken open.

“The unwavering support from the woman around us, Mark and his brothers. In deep gratitude to you all for this True psychedelic experience.
“The empowerment and space to Trust.” Jessica had announced her pregnancy over the summer by sharing a stunning photo taken in the Wicklow Mountains in Ireland.
She wrote: “Motherhood, Thankyou for choosing me my sweet child. It is an honour to grow you. You are SO LOVED. You are my Guru now. Your daddy and I are waiting with open arms, Thankyou for blessing us with your grace.”
Jessica opened up on her pregnancy journey to OK! Magazine where she admitted to not recognising herself after leaving Made in Chelsea. She shared: “My first trimester was tricky, and I am definitely experiencing nausea, even at 28 weeks, but it’s all teaching me newfound resilience.
“I feel like I’m gaining strength throughout this pregnancy. It can be hard at times, physically and emotionally, but Mark is so supportive. I don’t know if I could do this without him.”
She revealed how she had always wanted to be a mother and was “pleasantly surprised” by her pregnancy. Jessica had cravings of salt and vinegar crisps as well as Masala chai.
Speaking of the type of mum she wants to be, Jessica said: “I’m very aware that this child is going to be my teacher, I really respect that we learn a lot from children. I’m excited by this feeling of nurture — it’s so strong.
“I worry less now, too, and I used to be such a worrier. I’d come up with hypothetical worries, make up scenarios in my head, and then get scared. I’ve learned how to self-regulate, and I hope that will help me as a mum.”
Jessica previously admitted she was still dealing with the ‘trauma’ of appearing on reality TV, which made her famous. In 2020, she branded her experience ‘dangerous’, adding that she regretted her decision to take part in MIC as she called for people to “cancel reality TV”.
Addressing her comments in her latest interview, Jessica shared: “You know, I feel very grateful for that period of time because if it wasn’t for that, I wouldn’t have experienced solitude to the degree I did, and I wouldn’t have looked inside myself as much as I did.
“I’m really thankful for that time I perceived as difficult, but now I perceive as a gift. I actually don’t recognise myself any more. I’m less ignorant, I am more self-aware, and I have a deeper understanding. I feel much more in my power as a woman than I did then.”
