Olly Murs has ended 2024 with a poignant look back at his first year to daughter Madison, who he welcomed with wife Amelia Tank back in April
Olly Murs has welcomed in the new year with a sweet but poignant tribute to his daughter Madison, who he welcomed with wife Amelia Tank back in April. The couple, who announced they were expecting a little one in December 2023, safely welcomed their adorable baby girl with a post showing their departure from the hospital as a family of three for the first time on April 17.
Since then, Olly has shared a first hand look at life as a new dad, with plenty of emotional moments along the way, including the time he missed his first father’s day with Madison due to a prior work commitment. He was however able to embark on his first holiday with little Madison, which saw the star head off to Polzeath, near Padstow in Cornwall for a well earned break – and to sit down and introduce her to her first ever Euros football match on TV.
From tampers to teething, adorable giggles and cheeky grins, there’s been no shortage of memories for Olly and Amelia as they embarked on what he aptly described as his “dad era” since becoming a dad. So much so, he was quick to pay tribute to the little girl that had brought so much joy to both of their lives in 2024.
Posting a carousel of images on Instagram, Olly proudly wrote: “2024 will forever be the year I became a dad to our Madison!! A job that I’m trying my best at, it’s hard at times but that smile, your laughs and especially them cheeky little dimples melt us everyday x x can’t wait for more of the same in 2025, Happy New Year Everyone!”
Among the images shared by Olly, was a scrub clad photo of the singer in which he was cradling his new daughter just moments after her birth while Amelia looked on happily. A second image then went on to reveal a petite hand pressed against his own palm, while a third revealed the singer kissing his little one’s head as they enjoyed some quality time together.
Fans were loving the candid look back at his year so far, with many flocking to the comments section to share their best wishes for the young family in the year ahead. One fan wrote: “Gorgeous stuff. Here’s to an amazing 2025 for you with your family (and with all us lot on tour!)”
A second follower added: “You’re absolutely smashing it mate, the glow up you’ve had since becoming a dad is insane, you can genuinely see you’re so genuinely happy and so proud. Happy new year, can’t wait to celebrate 15 years of Murs”
Meanwhile a third soon commented: “Each stage of your babies life just gets better and better!!! Enjoy every moment and take lots of photos!!!!”
While it’s currently unknown what exactly the family have planned in 2025 beyond celebrating Madison’s milestone first birthday, the year will also mark a huge milestone in Olly’s career too, as it will be 15 years since he released his debut solo album, Olly Murs, which debuted at number 2 in the UK album charts before being certified as double platinum.
