Ex on the Beach star and ex-girlfriend of Gary ‘The Parsnip’ Beadle Lillie Lexie Greg has announced the name of her baby boy, and fans are thrilled by her choice
The glam reality star welcomed her first child with boyfriend Josh McEachran at the end of October, but she'd kept the public in the dark about the little one’s name. Whether that was because the couple were valuing their privacy at this special time or if they just hadn’t made up their minds is unclear – but the adorable name announcement has been worth the wait.
Lillie uploaded a gorgeous picture of her sleeping son captioned “Cruze Joshus Mceachran”, followed by a blue heart and then a world emoji.
Fans were quick to congratulate the first time parents.
