This weekend marks 17 years since Jade Goody died

Freddy Brazier, the son of Jeff Brazier and the late Jade Goody, has welcomed a baby girl.

Reports that 21-year-old star and his 22-year-old girlfriend, Holly Swinburn, were expecting began circulating over the summer.

Freddy went on to confirm the news in September, with a cheeky snap on Instagram captioned: “I’m actually a DILF to be!”

It’s a girl! Freddy Brazier welcomes first baby

Overnight (March 20), a black-and-white picture of Freddy, Holly and the new baby was shared to Instagram.

In an intimate picture, that looked like it was taken minutes after the birth, Freddy can be seen beaming to the camera. Holly is holding the baby – whose face is obscured by a stork sticker – against her bare chest.

The picture also featured the little girl’s name – Isla Jade Brazier, a tribute to Freddy’s beloved late mother. First-time grandfather Jeff, meanwhile, appeared to be preparing for the birth as he shared a picture of himself in London, captioned: “Staying close.”

Hours before announcing the birth, Holly shared a video of herself and Freddy in their private hospital room. In a pink Sex and the City T-shirt, Holly could be seen sucking on gas and air as she bounced on a birthing ball. Doting father-to-be Freddy, wearing PJs, danced alongside her.

In a tribute to their tot, the pair soundtracked their dance to a song entitled Just A Gorgeous Girl. And, hours later, she was safely in their arms.

“I hope you have a safe delivery beautiful,” said one pal. Another added: “Keep sucking on that gas and air, girl!” “Good luck diamond girl you’re going to be the BEST mummy,” said a third.

“Good luck babe you’ve got this!” said a fourth.

If baby Isla arrived last night, she would’ve been born on March 20, two days before the 17th anniversary of Jade’s death.

Holly and Freddy’s split

Freddy and Holly reportedly started dating back in June 2025 after connecting on TikTok. They are already co-parents to a Pocket Bully called Pablo.

The couple briefly split back in December, with Holly making a number of claims about Freddy’s behaviour and drug use.

She told the Sun: “Enough is enough, I don’t know if he can change. I stayed with Freddy for the sake of the baby, but it got too much.”

However, Holly and Freddy have since rekindled their romance.

‘It’s going to be a team effort’

Despite reports of a rift between Freddy and his family, particularly his dad Jeff, big brother Bobby Brazier insisted that they’ve all got Freddy’s back.

The EastEnders and Strictly star the MailOnline: “I’m excited to become an uncle. It’s going to be a team effort, like raising anything is. My dad has been super supportive, and we’re going to raise the baby together.”

We wish them all the happiness!
