Joel Dommett and his wife Hannah Cooper have welcomed their second child, a baby boy named Dutch, and have shared the sweet meaning behind his unique name. The couple confirmed their tot has arrived after Hannah was overdue.
The Heartwarming Story Behind the Name
The pair, who already share two-year-old son Wilde, announced earlier today they had welcomed their second child, another baby boy. When Joel, 40, and Hannah, 37, shared news of their newborn's arrival, they disclosed they had named him Dutch. They posted their joyful announcement with a timeless black and white photograph of the infant. In the caption accompanying the touching image, Hannah wrote: "Dutch Cooper-Dommett. Super late like his father, super long like his mother."
The distinctive name, Dutch, pays tribute to Hannah's roots, as the model hails from Holland. Followers have expressed delight over the charming name choice, with one commenting: "Congrats. Such gorgeous news. Super cool name." Another wrote: "So excited for you! And love the name. Huge congratulations!"
Celebrity Reactions
Television presenter Gaby Roslin also remarked on the little one's name, saying: "Congratulations, what happy news and the coolest name ever!" Plenty of famous faces hopped in the comments to congratulate the pair, including Roxy Horner, a model who recently married Jack Whitehall. She said: "Congratulations guys." Davina McCall added: "Love love love ALL THE WAY xxxxx we are so happy for ALL OF YOU."
Traitors star Paul Gorton commented: "What a name! Congratulations." ITV star and grief therapist Zoe Clark-Coates also said: "Huge congratulations guys. So so happy for you all."
Family Background
Joel and Hannah got married in 2019 after three years of dating. In September 2023, they welcomed their son Wilde Copper-Dommett. It was November 2025 when the comedian announced that his wife was pregnant with their second child. The announcement showed two-year-old Wilde with his mum's baby bump. The caption said: "Baby in mumma tummy." It added: "Hard to keep secrets with a toddler around." Again, their famous friends commented their support, including Emily Atack who wrote: "WAHHHHHHH."
Hannah's Pregnancy Journey
Later speaking to the Mirror, Hannah shared that she and Joel were going to go on a babymoon to celebrate the incoming child, but backed out. She said: "Joel and I were supposed to go on a babymoon last week and ended up… freaking out and staying home!" The model added that her second pregnancy was different to her first, because she was running after an active two-year-old. She described it as an "olympic sport" and said naps were "utter luxuries."
Hannah also admitted to having some nerves about the arrival of her second child: "There's definitely that mum guilt, how do you navigate two?! It's a whirlwind of emotions that you almost don't have time to think about - that's maybe a good thing."
Reflections on Parenthood
According to Hannah, life changed completely when she and Joel became parents. "When you go on a first date with someone you think, 'Oh, are they hot, would I maybe marry them?,'" she joked. "I don't think you really think about how they're going to be as parents. That's a massive one." But, she was clear that she felt she had "lucked out" in meeting Joel, as he was great with Wilde, and the both of them are "open communicators." She finished: "As parents you always have to voice how you're feeling; otherwise resentment builds. We voice everything to each other. If we don't, we save it up for the podcast, for the nation to listen to!"
