TV Chef Melissa Hemsley Welcomes Second Child with Partner Henry Relph
TV chef Melissa Hemsley, 40, has shared the joyful news of welcoming her second child with partner Henry Relph. The couple, who are already parents to their first daughter Summer Eliza, are now celebrating the arrival of their newborn.
Melissa took to Instagram to share the heartwarming news, posting a carousel of photos that included a beautiful shot of her cradling her newborn in the hospital, with the baby wearing an adorable penguin-patterned hat. Another photo captured the moment before the birth, showing Melissa and Henry with her large baby bump, as Henry rested his head lovingly on her belly.
In her post, Melissa affectionately referred to her baby as “our little pink pudding,” confirming the baby’s gender. The post quickly garnered a flood of well-wishes from fans and friends. One commenter wrote, “Congratulations my loves,” while another added, “Seeing you now with two beautiful babies is just so wonderful to see. Huge congratulations!”
The couple’s new arrival follows a difficult fertility journey for Melissa, who has been open about her struggles with multiple miscarriages. In 2023, she welcomed her first daughter Summer Eliza after a successful IVF journey, which she discussed publicly during an appearance on Lorraine.
Melissa’s journey to motherhood has been filled with love and support, and she has expressed gratitude for the medical and emotional help she received throughout her IVF process. “They say it can take a village to raise a baby, but I didn’t realise it can also take a village to make one,” she shared.
Known for her appearances on Lorraine, BBC Saturday Kitchen, and Channel 4’s Sunday Brunch, Melissa is also a bestselling author and co-founder of Hemsley + Hemsley, a platform dedicated to promoting healthy eating and better digestion.
Congratulations to the family as they embark on this beautiful new chapter together! 💖
