Despite facing some unwarranted criticism on social media, Jake quickly defended his wife and their excitement. He clarified, “We are over the moon. As long as the little one is healthy and happy, that’s all that matters. Soph would have liked a girl to back her up, but we are so used to boys, and we couldn’t be happier.”

Navigating Parenthood: The Highs and Lows

Jake has always been candid about the challenges of parenthood. In an interview with Mother & Baby last year, he opened up about the struggles he faced as a first-time dad.

“I did struggle,” he admitted. “I had burnout, and I did find myself sitting on the bed and letting a few tears out every now and again with Sophie, and admitting like, ‘This is so hard, I’m so tired.’”

Despite the tough moments, Jake emphasized how rewarding fatherhood is once the initial challenges settle. “It’s a sleep deprivation thing, and once that goes and you all start sleeping more, it just becomes so much more enjoyable,” he shared.

Now, with baby Kit in the picture, Jake and Sophie are ready to embrace the sleepless nights all over again, confident in their ability to support one another through it all.

A Family Full of Love

Leo and Freddie are undoubtedly thrilled to have a new little brother. Jake’s love for his step-son Freddie has always been evident, as he’s often shared sweet moments of their bond on social media. Together, the three boys are set to create a lifetime of memories, with Jake and Sophie at the helm, guiding them every step of the way.

Jake’s journey from reality TV star to devoted family man is nothing short of inspiring. At 36, he has managed to balance a thriving career with a fulfilling family life, proving that with love and determination, anything is possible.

Congratulations to Jake, Sophie, and their growing family! Kit Quickenden is already surrounded by so much love, and his arrival marks the beginning of another beautiful chapter for this incredible family.
