Aston Villa forward Ollie Watkins and his beautiful wag Ellie Alderson announced the birth of their second child.
Ellie Alderson broke the good news with an adorable Instagram post on Wednesday, April 19, revealing the gender of their new baby boy, named Marley.
Watkins’ girlfriend announced her pregnancy in November 2022, via a heartwarming video she shared on her Instagram account where she revealed her growing baby bump.
The couple welcomed their daughter Amara May in September 2021.
And their new baby, Marley, who is the couple’s second child arrived on Monday, April 17.
Ellie posted a gallery of pictures, including the moment their first child Amara May, who is 19 months old, met her little brother.
The snaps shared by the footballer’s girlfriend show little Marley Watkins in a babygrow, being cuddled by the Aston Villa striker, held by his mum and his older sibling.
Another adorable image shot in black and white saw the Watkins family gazing at Marley while grinning with pride.
Tiny Marley Watkins was born on Monday, April 17, and Watkins wrote: “Our little man is here. Truly blessed!”
Ollie’s beautiful wife and mother of his two children, Ellie captioned her post of the newborn as “Our sweet boy, Marley Watkins.”
The couple were overwhelmed with congratulatory messages from their friends, family, and Watkins’s fellow footballers.
Fellow footballers Aaron Ramsey, Conor Hourihane, Morgan Sanson, and Adebayo Akinfenwa also commented on the post.
His current club Aston Villa and former employers Brentford also sent their best wishes.
Ellie Alderson and Ollie Watkins’s relationship
Ollie Watkins met with the mother of his children in 2018.
At that time, he was playing for Brentford, but he has not risen to stardom.
The couple were attracted to each other and their conversation went further after their first meeting.
The pair have remained inseparable ever since then, and their trust in each other has helped their relationship grow stronger to overcome many obstacles.
Ollie Watkins stint at Aston Villa
After spending three years in West London, Watkins joined Aston Villa in a £33 million transfer in 2020.
Since then, Ollie Watkins has bagged 42 goals in 109 appearances as well as two goals in seven games for England.
What’s Next for Ollie Watkins and Aston Villa?
His son’s birth could bring another good tiding for the in-form Watkins with reports suggesting he is closing in on signing a new contract at Villa Park.
Aston Villa will travel to take on Brentford this weekend, the 26th of April at Gtech Community Stadium.
The time for the kickoff is 3 pm.
