Jesse Wood has welcomed his fifth child with Gemma Gregory, and the newborn has a name that now sits at the centre of a blended family of five children. The couple shared the news on Sunday, with Gemma Gregory posting that their son is Indigo Robin Charles Wood.
Gregory said the baby was born on 23/08/26 and tied that date to Lola’s August birthday, writing: “Our perfect little Indigo Robin Charles Wood was born 23/08/26 which happens to be the same August birthday as his biggest sister, Lola! Happy 21st beautiful and welcome to the ride little dude…” She added: “He is heavenly. So chill and CUTE! He squeaks like a little cub and smells like meadows! He’s very lucky to have the best gang of siblings, OBSESSED mama and papa and will be surrounded by love forever and always.”
April, then Sunday
In April, Jesse Wood and Gemma Gregory said they were expecting a child together, turning a private relationship update into a public family marker. Sunday’s post closed that loop with a named child and a birth date, and Wood was pictured cradling the newborn in a black and white photo shared to Instagram.
The family picture now stretches across two previous relationships as well as this one. Wood, 49, shares Rex and Honey with Fearne Cotton, and Lola and Arthur with Tilly Wood; Gregory, 40, is also a mother to an 11-year-old son from a previous relationship. That makes Indigo the fifth child for Wood, not a standalone headline but the latest addition to a household that has already been built in public over time.
Fearne Cotton and Jo Wood
The split between Wood and Fearne Cotton has long been framed as civil, but not without friction. Cotton said, “It is with a heavy heart that I let you all know that Jesse and I are ending our marriage,” and later said, “Our priority has been and always will be our children.” Last March, she said on Lorraine, “It’s all very amicable and the kids are doing great. I am in a very good place.”
Jo Wood added a sharper note in 2025, saying, “I didn’t expect Fearne to have a new boyfriend. And Jesse was devastated,” before softening that with, “I’m sure Jesse’s going to be very happy. These things work out. Their time was up – they had to move on.” For readers tracking the family line, that context explains why a birth announcement like this lands as more than a simple celebrity-post: it extends an already complicated but functioning family map.
Indigo Robin Charles Wood
For now, the useful takeaway is straightforward: Jesse Wood is now a father of five, and the new baby’s name is Indigo Robin Charles Wood. Gregory’s post did the heavy lifting on the public side, while the black and white Instagram image gave the announcement a quiet, domestic finish rather than a staged reveal.
What still matters is the chronology. The pregnancy was public in April, the birth was said to have taken place on 23/08/26, and the family chose Sunday to share it. That sequence leaves the announcement itself settled, even if the exact timing of the 23/08/26 date continues to carry its own ambiguity.
