Made in Chelsea stars Sam Vanderpump and wife Alice have become parents after welcoming their first child together.
The couple announced the tot’s arrival and revealed the very unique name they had given to their newborn baby boy: Marmaduke, who they plan to nickname Duke for short. The unique moniker has a touching family connection as it was a favourite name of Sam’s late dad, Mark, who died in 2018 aged 59.
It comes after Sam, who wed Alice in a small, intimate ceremony last year, was diagnosed with end-stage liver disease at the age of just 28. His life expectancy has tragically been limited to four years without a transplant. He is currently on the waiting list.
Speaking of their decision to marry before the arrival of their first child, Sam revealed to Hello! magazine: “We all want to have the same last name before Duke comes.
“Fingers crossed I get a liver transplant quickly but we don’t know when that’s going be and we didn’t want to wait to get married.”
Sam and Alice began dating in July 2024 and got engaged eight months later. The pair then wed in December.
