Lucy Watson welcomes second baby with adorable post alongside husband James Dunmore: ‘Then there were four’
Lucy Watson has revealed that she and husband James Dunmore have become parents for the second time, welcoming a baby girl.
The Made In Chelsea star, 35, shared the joyful update with her Instagram followers on Wednesday, posting adorable photographs of the newborn alongside the caption: “and then there were 4.”
One particularly heartwarming image showed the couple’s two-year-old son Willoughby planting a kiss on his baby sister’s head, with an “It’s A Girl” balloon visible in the shot.
The 35-year-old first revealed she was expecting again back in April, making the new arrival a long-anticipated moment for the family.
Fellow Made In Chelsea alumni including Georgia Toffolo, Emily Blackwell, Joshua Patterson and Binky Felstead were among those offering their congratulations beneath the post.
The reality star had broken the pregnancy news in April, writing on Instagram: “our family is growing, nothing prepares you for seeing that word, thank you to @clearblue for giving us that moment of clarity ad.”
Her sister and former co-star Tiffany Watson responded enthusiastically, commenting: “Yay so excited for another bubba in the family.”
During a family holiday earlier this summer, Lucy confirmed she was carrying a girl by sharing photographs of herself wearing a pink co-ord while cradling her bump alongside Willoughby, accompanied by pink emojis and the words: “We can’t wait to meet you.”

Tiffany echoed the excitement, adding: “Baby girl we can’t wait to meet you!”
Just weeks before giving birth, Lucy had joked that “there is simply no more room” whilst displaying her near-full-term bump in loungewear.
The arrival of her daughter marks a notably smoother path to parenthood compared with her first pregnancy.
Lucy spoke openly about her difficulties conceiving Willoughby during an appearance on the Happy Mum Happy Baby podcast with Giovanna Fletcher, revealing that the process took three years.

She admitted: “I found out that, on average, it takes a couple a year to get pregnant. And there was me thinking, ‘Two or three months, it will happen.’ When you’re trying, every month feels like a year.”
Lucy described the fertility testing process as “invasive” and “not enjoyable,” adding: “It was a very anxiety-inducing time.
A lot of tears, a lot of feeling sorry for myself and thinking, ‘Why me?’. In retrospect, I actually had a really good journey, but you don’t know what your journey is going to be like when you’re in it.”
Lucy and James first crossed paths on the set of Made In Chelsea back in 2015, going on to marry six years later in a beautiful ceremony in Greece.

The couple had described Willoughby as their “little miracle” following the lengthy conception journey, having first shared the pregnancy news in September 2023 during a holiday in Mykonos.
Lucy is also an aunt to her sister Tiffany’s two sons, meaning the Watson-Dunmore family now stands at four, with the new addition bringing yet more joy to an already growing extended clan.
