In a heartfelt and unexpected announcement, James Cook, the ex-husband of British model and socialite Poppy Delevingne, has revealed he has embarked on the journey of fatherhood. The news arrives strikingly close to his former wife's own recent entry into motherhood.
Cook shared his joyful news with friends and family, expressing his overwhelming happiness at becoming a dad. The timing of his announcement adds a poignant layer to the story, as it comes just a quarter after Delevingne welcomed a child with her current partner, music producer James 'Righton'.
A New Chapter for Cook
Details surrounding the birth of Cook's child, including the exact date and the identity of the mother, have been kept fiercely private. This discretion marks a significant shift from the very public life he once led alongside the famous Delevingne sister.
Friends of Cook describe him as being "thrilled and completely dedicated" to his new role, suggesting a serene and contented chapter away from the glare of the celebrity spotlight that often follows his ex-wife's family.
A Tale of Two Households
The simultaneous expansion of both their families marks a fascinating new dynamic for the former couple. Poppy Delevingne, 37, and her husband James Righton announced the birth of their daughter earlier this summer, sharing their elation with followers on social media.
This development means that the two Jameses—ex-husband Cook and new husband Righton—are both navigating the waters of new parenthood at precisely the same time, albeit in separate lives.
The story of Cook's newfound fatherhood adds a complex and humanising thread to the ongoing narrative of one of Britain's most photographed families, proving that life, and love, can blossom in unexpected ways after a chapter ends.
