Take That’s Howard Donald as welcomed his fourth child, a son, with his wife Katie Halil!
The singer took to his Twitter to announce the happy news and also revealed his son’s name in the process: “Hello Dougie Bear Donald! He’s here and he’s beautiful! He arrived yesterday morning and we are over the Pluto.”
This is Howard’s second child with Katie. The couple, who met on the set of a Marks and Spencer advert in 2008 and tied the knot in 2015, welcomed their first son, Bowie Taylan Donald (named after David Bowie), in January 2016. The couple announced that they were expecting another child in October – they certainly didn’t wait long to expand their family!
Howard also has two daughters, 17-year-old Grace and 11-year-old Lola from two different relationships.
It has been reported that Howard had to skip the gala night of his friend and fellow Take That member, Gary Barlow’s new musical “The Girls” because his wife went into labour. It is also unsure if he will now be able to stick to his work commitments because of his new child – he is scheduled to reunite with his old bandmate, Robbie Williams, for one night and also perform in Gary’s show, “Let it Shine” this weekend.
Congrats to the happy couple!
