EastEnders’ actor James Bye and wife Victoria reveal adorable name of newborn son a week after birth
EASTENDERS actor James Bye and his wife Victoria have finally revealed their newborn son’s name a week after his birth.
The couple welcomed their latest arrival into the world on June 18.
And now Strictly star James and his spouse have announced what they are calling him with an instagram post featuring a new snap of the cutie.
They wrote: “Rufus Gray… 18.06.23… 8lb 1oz” alongside a picture of the tot sleeping.
The pair added that they have given him the nickname “Roo”.
Victoria said: “You kept us waiting for such a long time little one, but oh wow were you worth the wait. We’re absolutely over the moon, smitten kittens and just head over heels for you. Our precious little rainbow… and boy have you brought the sun with you. (Like seriously, we’re all melting)
“And erm, check out the hair! A little styler like your brothers already. It’s safe to say. We’re just in love. This first week has been a whirlwind of you.”
She added that she and James – who plays Martin Fowler in the BBC soap – feel like “the happiest pair” now they have their fourth child and are a family of six.
Victoria welcomed Rufus after a very long labour, full of “drama”
Sharing the first pictures of their son, Victoria, 40, wrote: “Oh baby…. He’s here…
“After a long induction, a long labour, lots of ups & downs & all the drama along the way (oh don’t you worry I’ll be filling you in on everything… ) our hearts are near to bursting with the arrival of our precious baby boy…”
She continued: “I just can’t believe I have him, here, in my arms, safely home and ours to keep for always. It still hasn’t sunk in… I’m definitely still in shock and I still can’t believe he’s mine.
“It’s been a long old journey to get him and now as he lays against my chest, whimpering softly, already starting to root for some booby time I feel like I’m the luckiest mama in the land.
“I’m soaking it all in. Letting my hair sit like a birds nest on my head, letting the washing pile up, letting the hours while away as I hold him, and sniff him (oh that smell) because I’ve waited so long for this moment. And I’m loving every second… xx”
