Amanda Byram has given birth to a baby boy! 

The Irish presenter, 51, announced the arrival of her second ‘miracle child’ with her TV producer husband Julian Okines on Valentine’s Day after a ‘surprise’ labour. 

The couple have been through a ‘long and exhausting’ IVF journey, welcoming their first son Phoenix in 2021. 

Sharing a sweet photo of the newborn, Amanda revealed they had chosen to name him Jett. 

In the Instagram update, Amanda wrote: ‘And just like that, we are four… Introducing the most wonderful, gentle, soul, Jett Indy Byram Okines.

‘Jett’s recent arrival was quite the surprise – as my wonderfully low key pregnancy was suddenly interrupted when my waters broke a month early… and 36 hours later, my second little man powered into our lives like he had been here forever!!’

She added: ‘We know that we are beyond lucky to have a second miracle in our lives, and feel so grateful to all the magnificent doctors and nurses who aided us in our IVF journey.

‘It was long, exhausting, and utterly devastating at times, but I wouldn’t change a single thing given that it all led me here to my two incredible boys… one my heart and the other my soul.

‘I hope sharing this can be a source of inspiration for those parents in-waiting… I know the odds are against us but it can happen!!’ 

The presenter, who has been married to Julian since 2016, gave birth to Phoenix in November 2021 after keeping her pregnancy a secret.

Amanda took to Instagram at the time to share the first picture of their baby boy alongside a lengthy post about her ‘long and heartbreaking’ fertility journey.

She wrote: ‘And then there was you. I’m so overjoyed, full of love and bursting with happiness to be able to share with you that @julianokines and I have welcomed our incredible son, Phoenix Blaze Byram Okines into the big wide, wonderful world…

‘What a privilege that he entrusted us to nurture and guide his little soul through the endless possibilities of life and we are eternally grateful to him for choosing us to be his parents. Our fertility journey has been long…

‘Our fertility journey has been long and we know only too well the heartbreak of the hope that turned to hopelessness, the elation that turned to devastation and the strain putting this often-secretive journey before your job, your friends, and your life.

‘I know many brave parents-in-waiting who, like us, have struggled for a long time, so today we share this magical news in the hope it can inspire and offer a light at the end of the tunnel…

‘You are powerful warriors, I know your pain, and I see you. We send you all the strength you need to tackle your journeys…
