Frankie Essex shows off newborn twins for first time and explains their unique names

Frankie Essex has shared the first snaps of her adorable newborn twins and explained why she named them the names she did.

The Only Way Is Essex star, 34, and partner Luke Luv, 32, welcomed their baby son and daughter to the world last month and has now shown them off to the world for the first time.

In a sweet selection of snaps, Frankie and Luke can be seen cradling the duo as they gaze lovingly at each other.

The tiny tots are seen fast asleep in their loving parents' arms as they wear matching white hats which look huge on their minuscule heads.

Describing them as her "baby bears", Frankie told OK! Magazine, they have "double the love" after their arrival.

In her latest revelation, she explained how son Logan weighed just 5lb 4oz, while daughter Luella was slightly lighter, coming in at 4lb 8oz.

And when explaining the reasoning behind the baby names, she said: "Luella has always been my girl name since I was 20 – I’ve never told anyone the name in case they stole it.

"Luke chose Logan’s name as he loves the [X-Men] character Wolverine, who’s called Logan.

"They both mean warrior, but we only found that out recently."

The new mum opted to have a selective C-section at the birth and described how Ed Sheeran was playing in the car on the way to the hospital because the "babies like it".

Luke explained that following the safe arrival of their bundles of joy, mum had a slight panic as she lost "a bit of blood" but said he was able to calm her down and make things "fine" again.

Frankie admitted the transition into their new family life has been a tiresome one, as they sleep in 90 minute cycles.

However, all the hard work is worth the effort as she gushed about the twin's personalities.

She explained how the little ones were already "so different," with Luella slightly "sassy" and Logan more "chill".

Frankie and Luke have been together since 2019 and the reality star admits she was "shocked" when she was told she was to have twins.

The pair are yet to reveal who the youngsters' godparent as they have decided to keep it a secret for now.
