After watching their bub grow throughout season 10 of Gogglebox, our favourite couch critics, Sarah Marie and Matty Fahd, announced last night they’d welcomed their first child together.

Taking to Instagram, affable TV star Matty shared a gorgeous photo of his wife cradling their newborn baby boy, revealing the couple named their son Malik.
“Today, the 13.11.19, my heart is full Malik, I will love and protect you for the rest of my days,” he began. “I will be there to lift you up and to catch you when you fall, to give you the confidence to be comfortable with who you are no matter the circumstance, to always be a real man, in the truest sense of the word. I love you my son, forever.
“For all the people out there trying for their own baby, Sarah and I are thinking of you today. Sarah is doing very well and was an absolute legend throughout. Many more photos to come.”
Sarah also shared a series of photos of their new bundle of joy— a close up of Malik moments after he was born, a snap of the new dad’s reaction after laying eyes on his first child and another showing Matty holding Sarah Marie’s face after safely delivering their bub.
The couple— who told WHO in September that they started trying to fall pregnant after their Honeymoon in 2018— announced they were expanding their brood in May. However, weeks after sharing the happy news, Sarah got the shock of her life when her doctor urged her to deliver their bub via C-section. She was recommended for the procedure following a brain hemorrhage she had in 2017.
”My obstetrician and neurosurgeon prefer I have a caesarean which means our baby may be born a bit earlier than planned,” she told the publication. “Of course it’s scary and the healing takes longer but I am happy with whatever is safest for me and the baby.”
To make matters worse, she was later rushed to hospital where doctors thought she was miscarrying.
“The first four weeks of my pregnancy I was spotting and was in a lot of pain. People were talking to me and prepping me like I was having a miscarriage, saying it is very normal. I was crying. I was so upset especially when you’re trying to have a baby and you finally fall pregnant, and suddenly people are telling you you’re most likely going to miscarry, instead of ‘these are the possibilities’.”
