Ed Westwick and Amy Jackson are thrilled to announce the arrival of their bundle of joy after welcoming their first child together. The Gossip Girl star, 37, and his actress wife took to Instagram to share heartwarming black and white images of themselves with their newborn baby boy.
They announced the traditional name they have chosen for their son in the caption, which read: “Welcome to the world, baby boy. Oscar Alexander Westwick.” In the beautiful snaps, Amy can be seen tenderly holding baby Oscar as Ed also lovingly touches the little one. Basking in the glow of March’s sun, adorable Oscar is snuggled in a shawl bearing his name. Amy, 33, looked sensational in one snap which showed her placing a kiss on her newborn’s forehead.
Celebs were quick to flood the comment section with messages of congratulations, including Stacey Dooley, Love Island’s Zara McDermott, and fellow new mum Michelle Keegan. “So excited to meet him,” wrote actor Patrick Wilson, accompanied by a blue heart emoji, while songstress Kara Marni expressed: “Perfect name for perfect parents, couldn’t be happier for yous”, reports the Mirror. Regal congratulations came from Lady Amelia pencer – Princess Diana’s niece – who said: “Congratulations.”
One fan wrote: “Imagine being born and finding that your father is THE Chuck Bass,” referencing Ed’s iconic character from Gossip Girl. Another echoed the sentiment: “Chuck Bass became a father.”
A fellow new parent shared their support saying: “Congrats! Welcome to the world of fatherhood. Nothing will ever be the same (in the best way).”
Ed and Amy, who first met at the Silverstone motor racing circuit in 2021, married in a lavish three-day wedding celebration in Italy in August 2024. They first tied the knot quietly in London – where Amy dazzled in a vintage Chanel piece and a tailor-made Maison Michel hat – before jetting off to the stunning Amalfi Coast to continue the festivities, as they dished details to Vogue Italy.
Their dreamy nuptials took place at the historical 16th-century Castello di Rocca Cilento, complete with breathtaking seaside views. Reminiscing about the occasion on Instagram, Amy gushed: “What an unforgettable weekend. Our farewell brunch with friends and family was everything we could have hoped for.”
Amy has a son called Dre from a previous relationship.
Ed rose to fame for his role as Chuck Bass in the hit American series Gossip Girl and has also made waves in the comedy show White Gold, the 2007 indie flick Son Of Rambow, and the 2011 rom-com Chalet Girl.
