In an interview with Hello! magazine, Holland Cooper said it has been ‘magical’ to be at home with her daughter after she and her husband welcomed their first child together in November last year
‘It was perfect timing’, she said, ‘If it hadn’t been for Covid, there’d have been so many people here every five minutes coming to see her. As a new mum, it’s important to have time as a family to bed in.
‘Having that solely with her has been magical. ‘She’s a dream. She’s the smiliest, most content little person. An absolute joy.’
Julian said he has loved seeing his wife become a first-time mother, saying: ‘I’ve been working from home, which gives me an opportunity in between Zoom calls and meetings to see Jade and Saphaia, which is wonderful. I feel incredibly fortunate.’
Jade gave birth to her daughter in London last year. Revealing the news to her 60,000 followers on <a style="font-weight: bold;" class="class" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank" website Jade wrote: 'Welcome to the world my darling, Saphaïa Isabella Dunkerton, Weighing 7 pounds 9 ounces.'

Posting black-and-white images of her daughter online, Jade commented: ‘I can’t describe the overwhelming feeling of joy and love. And so the next chapter of life begins.’
Ahead of the birth Jade announced the pregnancy with a picture of herself, holding up a scan of her baby girl, with the caption: ‘I could not be happier. We are having a baby girl and I am going to be a mummy.’
She added: ‘It has been such a blessing in an otherwise difficult and gloomy time. To have been able to spend my first three months of pregnancy at home has been amazing.
‘Hats off to all the pregnant ladies out there: it can be a rollercoaster of emotions, but we are super excited for the next phase.’

Jade married Julian, who is worth an estimated £441million, in a lavish ceremony in the Cotswolds in August 2018. She was serenaded at the ceremony by Idris Elba and Craig David.
The multi-millionaire couple relocated to London weeks ago to be close to the private hospital where Jade planned to give birth.
Baby Saphaïa can look forward to an opulent nursery as their Georgian manor house home has a spa, a gym and sauna, and boasts the biggest private swimming pool in the country.

She started selling her designs at a stall at the Cheltenham Festival ten years ago, in echoes of her husband who co-founded Superdry in 1985 from a market stall in Cheltenham.
‘I’ve never met anyone as inspiring. He’s an amazing human being,’ she told <a style="font-weight: bold;" target="_blank" class="class" rel="nofollow" website Times. ‘I need to be with someone who doesn’t say, “Have you earned enough money now?”. I just can’t think like that.’
Fashion tycoon Dunkerton sold just under £50 million of shares in Superdry to fund a divorce settlement to his first wife, Charlotte Abbot, with whom he has a teenager daughter and step-daughter.
Last year the entrepreneur led a revolt to oust the board of Superdry in which he owns a £17.4 million stake.
