It’s the kind of news that makes you stop scrolling and smile.
Pete Sandiford, the much-loved Gogglebox star whose quick wit and warm humour have brightened living rooms across the UK, has just revealed that he’s become a father for the third time — and the joy on his face says it all.
Now 30 years old, Pete and his wife Paige Sandiford have quietly welcomed their newest bundle of joy, a beautiful baby girl named Eva Sylvie Sandiford, completing their picture-perfect family of five.
For fans who have followed Pete since his early Gogglebox days alongside his sister Sophie, it’s a touching full-circle moment. Viewers have watched him grow from a cheeky lad with a sharp sense of humour into a devoted husband and proud father. And this time, he’s shared the most intimate, beautiful chapter yet.
A Moment That Stole Everyone’s Hearts
The heartwarming reveal came during Friday night’s episode of Gogglebox, when Pete gently introduced his newborn daughter to the world. No grand announcement, no staged reveal — just a simple, genuine moment between a father and his baby.
Fans flooded social media with love as Pete later took to Instagram to share a sweet photograph, cradling his newborn with pure tenderness. His caption was simple but powerful:
“Myself and @paigesandiford_ would like to welcome the newest addition to our family — Eva Sylvie Sandiford.”
The post was instantly met with thousands of likes and comments, filled with love hearts and joyful tears. One fan wrote, “Pete, you’ve grown so much — seeing you as a dad melts my heart!”
A Love That Keeps Growing
Pete and Paige tied the knot in May 2021 in a romantic seaside ceremony surrounded by close friends and family. Their love story, though private, has always radiated warmth and authenticity — a bond that feels refreshingly real in the world of television.
The couple are now proud parents to three beautiful children: their eldest son Jimmy, their daughter Eva, and the newest arrival, whose name Pete and Paige lovingly chose together.
Life has certainly changed since their wedding day, but Pete has embraced every second of it — nappies, sleepless nights, laughter, chaos, and all. On the show, he once joked,
“We’ve got this Tinder thing for baby names — if we both swipe right, it’s a match! There’s so much to think about… even the initials! Mum didn’t do that with me and my initials are PNS.”
It’s the kind of dry humour that has made Pete a fan favourite — but beneath the jokes, viewers can sense a deep, genuine love for his growing family.
Family, Laughter, and Love
Pete has always described his sister Sophie as his “best mate,” and the two continue to be one of the most beloved duos on Gogglebox. Sophie’s reaction to her new niece was, of course, priceless — filled with laughter, happy tears, and plenty of teasing.
“Three kids now, Pete?!” she reportedly joked. “You’ll need a bigger sofa — and a lot more sleep!”
Behind the laughter, though, lies something beautiful: a family rooted in love, humour, and togetherness. Fans have often said that the Sandifords remind them of their own families — imperfect, hilarious, but overflowing with heart.
A Chapter of Pure Joy
As Pete enters this new chapter of fatherhood, fans across the country are celebrating with him. Messages have poured in from all over the world, congratulating him and Paige on their new arrival.
One viewer summed it up perfectly:
“Watching Pete become a dad again is like watching happiness in real life. He’s proof that joy doesn’t need a filter.”
At a time when social media can feel overwhelming, stories like Pete’s remind us that the simplest moments — holding your newborn, hearing your child’s laughter, sitting on the sofa with family — are often the ones that mean the most.
And for Pete, who first won hearts with his humour and now with his heart, this moment feels like a new beginning.
“My heart is so full,” one could almost imagine him saying — not for the cameras, but for real.
