Hearts melt: Alex shared a sweet snap following the birth of his daughter 

Sharing a sweet snap of the baby’s tiny hand in his Alex penned: ‘Tillie Glazebrook-Durbidge has stolen our hearts’.

‘Born 06.01.23 at 00:24 weighing 5.5lbs. 1 month exactly before her due date and she is just absolutely perfect’.

Going on to praise their surrogate he wrote: ‘Thank you to our incredible friend, (surrogate) Abbie for making our dreams come true. Words can’t describe how thankful we are. She done amazingly well and is resting up nicely’.

She told The Sun: ‘Something so simple as having a family really is taken for granted, when I gave birth to my third child it finally sunk in how important family was. I finally felt ‘complete’ and I had that family unit that I’d longed for’.

‘This then made me feel so desperate for the couples that were childless. Why couldn’t they have a family like me? How is it fair that they will never experience that rush of love for their baby?

‘I knew I could make a difference. And seeing a family be created in front of your very eyes in that delivery room knowing you made that possible is the most indescribable feeling!’

Earlier this week they shared a gorgeous snap of sleeping Millie as she wore a cute bunny baby grow.

They captioned the snap: ‘I know it’s not Easter yet but look at our little bunny’.

The pair then hugged each other and were heard whispering: ‘Oh my God, what the hell man!’ 

After gaining their composure, Glen said: ‘I am absolutely speechless! I can’t thank you guys enough, I’m holding back everything right now.’

While Ashley took the opportunity to thank their fans for voting, adding: ‘It literally feel like… amazing. I’ve said it before, things like this don’t happen to me and my best friend Glen.
