Alex Reid Children: How Many Children Does Alex Reid Have?

 

After a seven-year IVF battle and six miscarriages, Nikki and Alex, both 47, gave birth to Anastasia in 2021.

Phoenix Bobby and Hunter George, Nikki, and Alex’s kids, were born on June 28, 2023.

Dolly, who is eight years old, was born on June 17, 2012, and Alex is the father of Dolly through a previous relationship with Chantelle Houghton.

Nikki, who was given the appropriate medication to help her become a mother after being diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder, became pregnant with twins last year after being implanted with two embryos.

One was seven years old, and the other was the last embryo from the IVF cycle she underwent to become pregnant with her daughter.

The pregnancy was proceeding smoothly until Nikki experienced a Premature Rupture of Membranes (PROM) at 18 weeks, which increased her risk of sepsis and caused her to go into labor early.

Nikki’s life was in danger, therefore the couple was recommended to end the pregnancy. However, Nikki was determined to carry on with her twins despite all odds since she desperately wanted to become a mother of three.

After Phoenix’s amniotic sac’s water content fell at 36 weeks, Nikki underwent a C-section.

The influencer acknowledged that she was frightened to undergo the procedure, and it is overwhelming to finally have Phoenix and Hunter born safely after such a hard pregnancy.

She said: ‘I thought if I die here and have brought them into this world, I’ve done my job.

‘It’s ok done what I’ve wanted to do which is bring them here safely. I’m so proud of myself. It is such a relief for me.

‘I never have to go through pregnancy again. I can choose a dark chapter of my life.’

Nikki said Alex was equally as worried when she was wheeled to the operating theatre but could hear his cries of joy when he saw his boys for the first time.

She said: ‘He was really nervous, really scared for them. All I could hear was “My boys”. He was very overwhelmed.’

Explaining the reason behind the name Phoenix Bobby, who was born weighing 4lbs 8oz, Nikki said: ‘The name is perfect for him. He continued to grow against all odds, his waters broke.

‘His name represents strength, resilience, and determination. He rose from the ashes and came out stronger than ever.’

Phoenix is named Bobby in eloquent remembrance of Alex’s father Bob, who went away from a brain tumor a number of years ago.

In contrast, Hunter George, who was named after Nikki’s great-uncle and grandfather, was born weighing 5 pounds, 8 ounces.

Both boys are doing well, however the influencer, who is still in the hospital, disclosed they are both receiving antibiotics as a precaution and going through blood testing.

The boys are OK, she said, noting how small they are. The premature baby’s growth is only a little bit excessive.

They both have cannulas in their hands, are covered in bandages, and are wounded due to their small size.

‘They have a little bit of jaundice, just because they were a bit premature. They’re feeding ok.’

Nikki is looking forward to returning home to her daughter and Alex to start their exciting new chapter.
