The One Show<\/a> star Ade Adepitan<\/strong> has shared the joyous news with fans that he is now a dad-of-two with a first look at his newborn.<\/p>\n

The media personality, 51, took to social media<\/a> on Sunday with a snap of him beaming as he held his baby who was wrapped up on his lap. <\/p>\n

‘Big Sunday win ft Zayla,’ he wrote in the caption<\/a>, revealing their name alongside a pink flower emoji.<\/p>\n

This is his second child with his wife of seven years – 34-year-old singer-songwriter Linda (aka Elle Exxe) – after their\u00a0three-year-old son Bolla was born in January 2021.<\/p>\n

Fans and friends were quick to congratulate the Paralympian and his growing family on their new addition.<\/p>\n

‘Ahhh congratulations to you all,’ presenter Kirsty Gallacher wrote. <\/p>\n

‘Aww congratulations to you all this is a brilliant photo of you both,’ @lisa.24 echoed.<\/p>\n

‘So cool. Congratulations dude. A happy and healthy family,’ @myomeolife said. <\/p>\n

‘Congratulations to you all and beautiful picture of your new baby,’ sharonlittlewood.1 praised.<\/p>\n

When the decorated athlete’s son was born in 2021, he shared similar excitement on social media. <\/p>\n

‘I’m still buzzing!! Because at 6:36 am this morning I became a father for the first time.\u00a0So much respect for my wife @ElleExxe she absolutely smashed it, and now we have a beautiful baby boy!’ he said at the time.<\/p>\n

The sportsman turned TV star has had an inspirational career journey after contracting polio as a child which resulted in leg damage. <\/p>\n

After scooping up a bronze medal at the 2004 Paralympics, he went onto co-host the London 2012 sporting event as well as various travel shows and becoming a children’s author.<\/p>\n

When Bolla was born, he reflected on being a parent in a wheelchair on the Happy Mum Happy Baby podcast.<\/p>\n

‘One of my biggest fears was always could I be a good father in all the ways that an able bodied person would be a good father? <\/p>\n

‘The first time I went out with the ergo sling on my own with Bolla, I was really nervous about it. I was thinking. what if I fall out of my wheelchair, what if Bolla starts screaming and people start looking at me, thinking I\u2019m not fit to look after a baby?<\/p>\n

‘I think the fear for a lot of disabled parents is that we\u2019ll be judged by able bodied parents as not being capable of looking after our children,’ he said<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And praised his partner for her support. <\/p>\n

He added: ‘Linda researches everything. She was constantly like if we\u2019re gonna get a pram we\u2019re gonna get a pram that works for Ade,\u00a0that Ade\u2019s going to be able to push as well. <\/p>\n

‘If we\u2019re going to get an ergo sling we\u2019ve got something that works for you. I never think about myself in that way. I\u2019m so used to accepting that this world is not built for me and just making do.’<\/p>\n

The happy couple met in 2010 at a television award ceremony. <\/p>\n

Recalling his first impression in The Guardian<\/a>, Ade said: ‘As I pushed past, she smiled a huge smile at me. Linda was so warm and friendly and she had this really amazing aura and positive air about her.’<\/p>\n

He also spoke about the initial hurdle with their 17 year age gap.<\/p>\n

He said: ‘It definitely threw me at first. The music she played was completely different to things I normally listened to. I get there and everyone\u2019s quite grungy, very far removed from me.’<\/p>\n
