 Gemma Atkinson and Gorka Márquez have spilled the beans on life as parents to son Thiago. However, he wasn't named Thiago from birth, as the couple actually struggled to think of a name for a while. The former Hollyoaks actress, 38, and Strictly Come Dancing professional, 32, welcomed their second child on July 19. Gemma and Gorka – who met through Strictly in 2017, despite not being paired together – are also parents to daughter Mia, who was born in 2019. In their first interview since becoming a family of four, Gemma and Gorka actually didn't have a name for their baby boy, who was just five days old at the time. 'They change so much each day,' Gemma told OK! Magazine.

Just to see.' This wasn't the first time she and Gorka struggled to settle on a name, as firstborn Mia wasn't Mia at all initially. 'Mia was Bella for a week, but we changed it,' Gemma confessed, joking about how Mia wanted her little brother to be named Barbie, Harold or Ralph. Speaking about life in their baby bubble ahead of Gorka's Strictly training forcing him away from home after just a week, the couple described life as 'wonderful'. Gemma also said it felt like Thiago had 'always' been there as he's 'slotted right in.' The Strictly Come Dancing pro had one week at home before leaving for rehearsals (Picture: Instagram) Firstborn Mia is already loving life as a big sister (Picture: Instagram) 'We're obviously exhausted but it's that fun exhaustion whereby it doesn't matter if you've not had a wash and your hair's a mess, and we're in our PJs. It's just nice,' the actress smiled. 'It's been a lot more chilled this time. Your second one isn't easier, but it's more manageable because there are no firsts.' Meanwh){kind=link}
