Lorraine Kelly‘s daughter has confirmed she will welcome a baby girl in September – and is insisting the child’s name (her first child) will have strong ties to her Scottish heritage.
Is Rosie Kelly Smith Married?
Rosie Smith – the breakfast TV presenter’s only child with husband Steve Smith – announced her pregnancy in April.
The 29-year-old has since confirmed her first child with partner Steve White will be a girl, and admits they had always planned to have children as soon as possible.
A Girl With Scottish Roots
Rosie, 29, told HELLO!: ‘We’d talked about it a lot and we both wanted to become parents quite young, so that our parents can be around for as much as possible.’
Rosie is also keen to reference the child’s Scottish ancestry when choosing a name, but admits she’s having a hard time finding one.
‘I really wanted to have a Scottish connection and we had a Scottish boy name sorted, but girls are hard. I’d like to have options,’ she explained.
Lorraine Is Going to be a Granny
Celebrating Rosie’s pregnancy on her ITV show, Lorraine, 64, told viewers: ‘I’m going to be a granny! How exciting is that? Granny Smith because, you know, my married name is Smith!
‘So I’m Granny Smith! We’re all very excited, it’s huge and wonderful and yeah… it’s just cheered everybody up, which is just great!
‘Thank you to everybody who has sent me messages, it was really kind of you… thank you very much, it means a lot, it means a lot!’
Opening the show, Dr. Hilary said: ‘I think congratulations are in order aren’t they grandma?’
Lorraine responded: ‘It’s not about me!… It is.’
Adding that her husband Steve Smith had told her ‘not to interfere too much,’ she admitted: ‘How hard is that going to be not to interfere?
‘We’re just so thrilled. It’s the best and most exciting thing that has happened to our family. It’s just great!’
