22 Kids and Counting star Millie Radford has given birth to her fourth child, Cooper-Jax, this week, sharing the happy news on Instagram. The 25-year-old, who is the seventh eldest of Noel and Sue Radford's 22 children, posted an adorable picture of her newborn son on Wednesday, September 23, followed by a selfie of mum-and-son and another of husband Harley with the baby.
New arrival and relationship update
Millie previously described this pregnancy as a "nice shock" with fans flocking to the comments section wishing her congratulations. The birth comes amid the latest episodes of the Channel 5 docu-series, which airs tonight, Sunday, September 27, at 8pm, showing her fallout with Harley as she tells him that "we're through" in a clip. Millie tells the cameras she's not going to "just take him back like that" as mum Sue tells her daughter that she can't "throw the towel in".
However, the series was filmed earlier this year and it is understood that the couple have reconciled following their brief split. Harley has since taken to Instagram to release a statement after fans accused the pair of fabricating the break up as a publicity stunt. He questioned why people thought they would "pretend to break up for content" before adding: "We got back together as we felt like we couldn't give up on our marriage and our love like that. Everyone just needs a break, I guess. But also, I'd like to put it out there that everything we film is real and not fake, as I don't like to be fake."
Family life and future plans
Millie welcomed her first child Ophelia when she was just 19, following in her mum's footsteps who became a mum at 14-years-old. She now has four children with Harley: Ophelia, Chester, Elodie and now newborn baby Cooper-Jax. But Millie informed OK! Magazine that she didn't want to have anymore children, stating that "four is definitely enough" before adding: "I think I'll have my hands full."
22 Kids and Counting continues every Sunday at 8pm on Channel 5.
