Taking to Instagram last night (March 18) Joe Sugg and Dianne Buswell shared the first snaps of their baby boy.
The caption read: “Never felt a love like it. Baby Bowden Mark Richard Sugg. 16/03/26.”
Immediately they were flooded with messages of love and support. And it didn’t take long for long-time fans to realise exactly what the meaning behind the name was.
Fans who have been following Joe for a long time throughout his early YouTuber days would be well aware that he actually grew up in a cottage on Bowden Hill in Lacock, Wiltshire.

One fan penned on X: “I am just now learning that Joe grew up in a cottage at 1 Bowden Hill Lacock and I have an actual tear because that is really beautiful to name their child after his childhood.”
The two middle names, Mark and Richard, are tributes to both sides of Joe and Dianne’s family.
Dianne’s dad is called Mark and Joe’s late grandfather, who died in 2021, was called Richard. So, the couple decided to keep both sides included.
As for the date baby Bowden was born, fans of the couple have been left emotional, as March 16, in 2018, was actually the date they went public with their relationship. Talk about a full circle moment!
Pronunciation of name revealed
However, the unique baby name left many fans wondering how they actually pronounce it. And clearly seeing the immediate confusion, Joe and Dianne clarified for everyone.
Taking to their Instagram Stories late Wednesday night, Joe shared an adorable snap of the new parents holding Bowden’s hand.
Over the image, the doting dad wrote: “Bowden Sugg. Pronounced Bow like How not Bow like Row. Hopefully that makes sense.”
Strictly stars and fellow YouTubers were among the many sending their congratulations to the happy couple.
Professional dancer, Amy Dowden penned: “Utter perfection. So happy for you both. Welcome baby Bowden! I can’t wait for cuddles.”
Vito Coppola wrote: “Oh finally. I am so so happy. Crying for joy and happiness. Uncle Vito cannot wait to meet you. Love, love, love.”
