Lucie Jones Joins the Mom Club with an *Adorably* Named Baby Girl (as If We Didn’t See This Coming)

Well, surprise, another X Factor alum has decided to trade in the spotlight for diaper duty. This beloved diva, who graced our screens back in 2009 with a performance that was, let’s say, less than stellar, just announced via Instagram that she’s welcomed a mini-me with her partner, a restaurateur who’s allegedly serving up more than just culinary delights. Cue the adorable baby photos — such a yawner.

Our star, now a ripe 34, has unveiled her little one’s name: Elowen Hersey-Jones. Because, darling, who wouldn’t want to christen their child with a moniker that sounds like a spell from Harry Potter? In her gushing Instagram post, she declared they’re now parents to “the most perfect angel on the planet” (sweetheart, we all know that’s a stretch). This new bundle of joy apparently swooped in to turn their eight-year marriage into a series of that was so last season episodes.

And let’s not forget, the couple has only been dating since last year, even though they’ve known each other for ages — as if that makes it any less scandalous. Friends have been reportedly raving about the baby, with a shout-out from the wife of some McFly star (like we care). Our starlet did poke her head into the Eurovision scene in 2017, but let’s face it, her placement there wasn’t what you’d call memorable.

So there you have it — another celebrity diving into the chaotic abyss of parenthood while we sip our martinis from the sidelines. Let’s see how long this happy little charade lasts!
