Jack Fincham is a dad!
Fincham, one of the winners ofLove Islandseason 4, welcomed his first child, daughter Blossom on Friday.
“I’m just a normal geeza, who went on a tv show, which throws you straight into the public eye…which I will forever be grateful for. However I knew for myself I needed personal time and to keep this part of my life private to prepare for this new responsibility and part of me that will change my life forever,” the British reality star, 27, wrote. “This is undoubtedly the best thing that has ever happened to me and it’s true what they say, the instant feeling of love and connection you have with your child is a feeling like no other.”
Fincham went on to give a special shout-out to his daughter’s mother, whom he did not identify, clarifying that the pair are not in a romantic relationship.
