EastEnders star James Bye and his wife have revealed the name of their new baby son.
The tot is the fourth child for James, who plays Martin Fowler in the BBC soap, and his other half Victoria, as the couple are also parents to Edward, eight, Louis, six, and Hugo, three.
Taking to Instagram to share another adorable pic of the newborn, who arrived just over a week ago, they said they had now decided on a name for the latest addition to the Bye family.
“Rufus Gray... 18.06.23... 8lb 1oz. Hello little Roo,” Victoria wrote on their @lifewiththebyes account.
“You’re here. Our new little Bye. You kept us waiting for such a long time little one, but oh wow were you worth the wait.
“We’re absolutely over the moon, smitten kittens and just head over heels for you. Our precious little rainbow... and boy have you brought the sun with you (like seriously, we’re all melting.”
Commenting on his pretty full head of hair, the proud mum-of-four continued: “And erm, check out the hair! A little styler like your brothers already.
“It’s safe to say. We’re just in love. This first week has been a whirlwind of you.
“Remembering all the nappy changes, the yellow poo! The sore boobs and becoming a full on milk wench.
“The relationships with your brothers, watching them be amazed by you. Your tiny toes fitting in their hands, their muddy, sticky kisses all over your face. Bringing woodlice to show you... a sure fire sign you’re one of the gang already.
“And then there’s been us. The cuddles, oh all the cuddles... I can’t get enough. Not really believing you’re here.”
The post went on: “Your Daddy & me feel like the happiest pair... with our crazy, funny little family charging around us, and you, slap bang in the middle, a windy smile on your face amidst all the noise and chaos.
“ Dogs barking, school runs & armpit farts galore whilst you dribble sicky burps, cooing away, happy as Larry. Yep, you fit right in.
“And then there’s the quiet time. In the middle of the night, when it feels like we’re the only ones awake... me and you against the world. And I whisper to you... thank you. For being here. For completing us.
“Not quite believing how I got so lucky... as you look up searching for me in the dark... and let rip with a poonami. And I laugh and reach for another nappy, exhausted, sleep deprived, but oh so happy.”
Victoria ended the heartfelt post with: “My little boy – I couldn’t love you more. It’s the start of a whole new chapter, a new adventure, a whole new start with you. Our little Roo. This is just the beginning. And I can’t wait xxx.”
