Admitting they wanted to enjoy the 'newborn bubble' after their son's birth, Jess said: "It wasn't so much of a secret, people made more out of it.”
Dom then added: "I think it was because they were expecting some kind of grand announcement when he was born, what his name was and stuff and I think we just weren't really fussed."
Jess continued: "I think we just enjoyed keeping it to ourselves and it's been quite nice being – like everyone talks about the 'newborn bubble' – and it is you just kind of it's just you and them and you're just getting on with your life. We share quite a lot I feel, so I feel like we just didn't need to announce what he was, who he is whatever but yeah, we're not afraid of showing it."
