It is a boy! Big Brother star Sophie Budack welcomes her first child to the Netherlands and he shares his name with a famous prince
Sophie Budack has welcomed her first child in the Netherlands.
The former Big Brother Australia star announced the news on Thursday night by sharing two photos of her newborn son on her Instagram story.
In the first black and white photo, the little one’s head is partially visible and wrapped in what appears to be a hat.
In the second, Sophie, 29, is seen tenderly rocking her little man in full glorious color in the hospital. She captioned the snap: “Henry Ellis 04.05.2023.”
Sophie announced in October that she was pregnant with her boyfriend Rutger, with whom she has been in a relationship since early 2021.

In July 2021, Sophie revealed she had found love again after splitting from winning housemate Chad Hurst.
‘Oh, he’s great! His name is Rutger and he is my perfect match,” the former gymnast told the Daily Mail Australia.
“Since Big Brother I’ve been focusing on myself for the past year and I wasn’t looking for love, but when love literally comes through your door, there’s nothing you can do,” she added.
Sophie and Rutger had been dating for several months at the time, but the athlete-turned-influencer wanted to wait before announcing the romance.
While little is known about Rutger, Sophie said they were introduced by her younger sister Yasmin and “from the first night we met, we clicked right away.”
Sophie, who grew up in Australia, split up with Chad after moving to Europe in 2020.
Sophie announced in October that she was pregnant with her boyfriend Rutger, with whom she has been in a relationship since early 2021.
She previously said of their breakup, “A lot of people will ask about myself and Chad, but there are some elements of my life that I want to keep private.
“For now, I’m taking it one step at a time and looking at the positives. At least now I can show you the other side of the world and a little more of myself.’
Chad and Sophie were last photographed together two days after he won the $230,000 cash prize as they took a stroll around Sydney’s Bondi Beach.
