Kate Middleton’s brother, James Middleton, is officially a dad! In July, he and wife Alizee Thevenet announced they were expecting their first child, and they welcomed the child sometime in the past few weeks. (Middleton posted a snap of a pregnant Thevenet in mid-September, writing, “the best is yet to come…”)
Yesterday, the two were spotted with a stroller in Notting Hill, per photos published in the Daily Mail. The baby’s gender and name have yet to be revealed. In the pictures, the new parents both carry coffees, and Middleton pushes a Silver Cross stroller and wears a backpack and a yellow scarf. Meanwhile, the stylish new mom looks chic in an all-denim outfit and a suede coat. Although they were seen in London, the couple live in Bucklebury, in West Berkshire, where the Middletons grew up.
The new baby is the seventh grandchild for Carole and Michael Middleton—the other six are Kate’s three children (Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis) and Pippa Middleton’s three (Arthur, Grace, and Rose Matthews).
James Middleton and Thevenet tied the knot in September 2021 in Bormes-les-Mimosas, France. They met in 2018, after his beloved dog Ella played matchmaker. “The two of us were at the South Kensington Club in Chelsea,” Middleton told The Telegraph in 2019. “Ella was lying at my feet under the table; realizing she might want some water, I trusted her to take herself to the water bowl across the terrace. However, she made a beeline for Alizee. Rather embarrassed, I went over to apologize and bring Ella back. Little did I know, I had just met my future wife, all thanks to Ella.”
