You didn’t see nothin’…

Stacey Solomon may have just accidentally revealed her newborn son’s name… and it’s Rex. Allegedly.

The Loose Women presenter, who has opted to keep the name of her son secret since his birth, shared a short video of herself and the baby to Instagram Stories earlier today.

In the clip, which has since been deleted, she can be vaguely heard calling her son ‘Rex’ or ‘Rexy’, suggesting that that would, indeed, be the child’s name.

Cute.

This comes after the mother-of-three shared a detailed post about her struggles breastfeeding this time around.

She said that it took her son a long time to become comfortable latching on, and that even though she still hasn’t gotten it perfect yet, she’s glad that she’s made some progress.

“After not mastering the latch that leaving my boobs engorged and my nipples feeling like they’d been rubbed on sandpaper I think we are finally getting there,” she wrote.

“I’ve been milked by just about every health visitor and breastfeeding specialist around (for which I am eternally grateful) and my baby can finally get his tiny mouth around, what Zach and Leighton call, my Pepperami nipples! We still haven’t mastered it yet and we might never master it – that’s ok too.”

Stacey gave birth to baby Rex (allegedly) one month early a few weeks back.

Announcing the birth, boyfriend Joe Swash wrote that he and Stacey were “overwhelmed, overjoyed and apprehensive about what’s the come.”

“I’m lost for words to describe how I’m feeling,” he said. “So for now, I’m going to spend the next few days and the rest of my life falling more in love with these two humans.”

“I didn’t think it possible but, today I witnessed the impossible.”
