Meet Hayley Tamaddon’s beautiful 2 week old baby boy Jasper! The Emmerdale actress took to Instagram on Saturday, October 26th to introduce him to the world. Along with the adorable photo — which was taken just after his birth —  the 42 year-old spoke about the ‘whirlwind’ 2 weeks she’s had and how the love she feels for her son is nothing like anything she’s felt before. She wrote:

2 weeks ago..and a little earlier than expected..
I gave birth to our beautiful baby boy.. we have called him …JASPER.
it’s been a whirlwind!! The most incredible life changing experience.. it’s beyond anything I’ve ever felt.. it’s a love so strong and overwhelming.. i just cry when I look at him! I feel truly blessed that he’s mine.
Thankyou for all your wonderful messages – and for a lot of you – going on this journey with me, and letting me share my stories and pictures with you all. There’s going to be a few more on here soon! 🥰

The one time Coronation Street cast member also gave her heartfelt thanks to staff at St Mary’s hospital for their amazing care.

I also want to thank the most amazing midwives and doctors at Saint Mary’s hospital that took care of us both so well.. what amazing, hard working people.. there are too many names to mention but they all know who they are. Thankyou for everything… 

Now the first time mum — who shares Jasper with boyfriend Adrian — can’t wait to see what the future holds for her boy.

welcome to the world Jasper…Your mummy and daddy love you so very much. And I can’t wait to see what the universe has in store for you. I’ll be right there by your side, every step of the way 💖
