Honey To The Bee, That’s A New Baby For Billie!

Congratulations to Honey To The Bee singer* Billie Piper and her husband Laurence Fox, who recently became first time parents.

The 26 year-old delivered son Winston James Fox at the private Portland Hospital yesterday by Caesarean Section. Both mother and baby are believed to be doing well. Her husband Laurence Fox drove her to the hospital and was present for the birth. Mr Fox celebrated the birth with a pint of lager in the local Green Man pub next to the Portland yesterday with a group of friends.

Bless ‘em. Apparently Laurence was hesitant to reveal his new son’s name to the media, considering it “a private moment”, but thankfully Billie’s ex-husband Chris Evans promptly took to his blog and revealed all.

Billie’s ex-husband Chris Evans wasn’t quite so discreet, revealing on his blog that Piper and Fox had named their baby Winston James Fox. He wrote: “At the time of this writing, the little fella is not even fifteen hours old. He is cute as you like and didn’t cry once for the few minutes I was there which was just a few moments ago.” Evans said the boy was born at 1am.

I find the Chris Evans/Billie Piper post-divorce bond both a little weird, and completely inspiring.

* Apparently her career has continued since that point in time and she’s starred in Doctor Who as well as Secret Diary Of A Call Girl, but as far as I’m concerned, she’ll never be able to top the resume high of being the young lass who delivered that divine slice of pop to the world.
