Katie Radford's life off-camera including baby's name and partner as she stars in new doc
Katie Radford, star of 22 Kids and Counting, gave birth to her first child with partner Connor Carter in October 2024 - here's everything you need to know about her life off-camera
The Radford Family is back on screens with Channel 5's new special, '22 Kids and a Baby', featuring Katie Radford in the spotlight as an expectant mum. She reveals the profound impact pregnancy has had on her life as well as the strain it placed on her relationship following her partner's pre-birth jitters.
As Katie steels herself for motherhood, her parents Noel and Sue are off on a dream holiday to Dubai. Katie, at the age of 22, welcomed her first child in October 2024.
Taking to Instagram, she shared the heartwarming update: "Tuesday 8th October born at 5:03PM weighing 7:11 the day you changed our lives forever little man. Mummy and daddy love you so much."
The baby boy has been named Ronnie Hudson Carter, after his father Connor Carter. Over the moon, Connor took to his Instagram to express his joy: "Little man finally made an appearance and we are so made up."
Connor first graced our screens in May 2022 on '22 Kids and Counting' and later that year, he became part of the bustling household in Morecambe, reports Lancs Live.
In May 2024, Katie excitedly announced her impending bundle of joy, followed by a Winnie the Pooh-themed baby shower come October.
Post-Connor's move into the family abode, the duo decided to venture out on their own, likely in anticipation of baby Ronnie's arrival.
Candidly discussing the birth on her Instagram Stories, Katie conveyed that despite her initial fears, exacerbated by horror stories, her experience was surprisingly positive: "I was terrified for labour with all the stories people kept telling me, but honestly I had a really good labour.
"My waters went at 11pm on the Monday and then I had him on Tuesday at 5.03pm."
Katie also disclosed some of the other names they thought about. "I loved the names Zaylen, Romie, Noah and Connor wanted to call him Hudson," she said.
Beauty influencer Katie, who boasts over 66,000 followers on Instagram, has been filling her feed with snaps of her new baby Ronnie, showcasing personalised outfits such as a Halloween costume and a cute dressing gown.
22 Kids and a Baby airs on Channel 5 on Sunday at 8pm
