It’s official; Howard Donald is a daddy!
The Take That star welcomed his first child with wife Katie Halil on January 12th.
The singer’s little boy arrived shortly after Ashes To Ashes singer David Bowie passed away, following a secret battle with cancer.
And Howard, knowing that his mini me would tragically never be able to listen to David Bowie live, decided to help his son pay homage to the iconic British singer.
How?
Through an amazing and unusual name choice, that’s how!
"Bowie Taylan Donald came into this world on Tues 12th Jan," he tweeted.
"Mummy and daddy suffering sleep deprivation but life is wonderful, he is divine."
N’aww, we love it!
The meaning of the name Bowie is, strangely enough, ‘blonde’ - while the name Taylan mean ‘elegant, kind, and gracious’.
We think it’s a wonderful name for Howard and Katie’s firstborn baby.
What do you think of his unusual moniker?
