Bizarre fan theory emerges about origin of ‘Hot Wiggle’ John Pearce’s newborn son’s name

‘Hot Wiggle’ John Pearce and wife Jessie Adamo welcomed their first child into the world earlier this week – and a bizarre theory has emerged about the bub’s name.

The child entertainer and his beautiful wife shared a heartfelt post to Instagram on Wednesday, revealing they had named their beautiful boy Henry.

John’s fans went wild over the news and quickly took to the comments section to ask if they had named him after iconic Wiggles character Henry the Octopus.

“Please tell me it’s named after the octopus!” one person joked.

“Henry the Octopus is feeling very happy right now,” a second person added, and a third interjected: “I wonder if a certain octopus was a namesake.”

The Wiggles character is a cheeky purple octopus who has been part of the cast since 1992 and enjoys singing and dancing along with the human performers.

However, John and Jessie remained tight-lipped about whether the ocean-based Wiggles character was the inspiration for their child’s name.

The ‘hot’ Purple Wiggle took to Instagram on Wednesday to confirm the jovial news that Jessie had given birth to their son on Monday.

He posted a gallery of adorable photos of their newborn son, showing himself and Jessie cuddling up to the little one in a hospital.

The new parents beamed with pride as they cradled their son in their arms as he slept soundly, swaddled in a blue blanket.

In an accompanying caption, the children’s TV star confirmed their son’s adorable name and revealed they named him Henry Nicholas.

He wrote: ‘Henry Nicholas Adamo Pearce 16.12.24. Welcome to the world, our beautiful angel. We’ve never felt love like this before.’

The new parents were quickly inundated with sweet congratulations from their Wiggles family, as well as their other famous friends.

It’s not the first new baby in the Wiggles family this year, as John’s co-star Caterina Mete welcomed her twin daughters Dolly and Gigi in July after undergoing IVF with a sperm donor.

John and Jessie announced in June that they were expecting their first child and have been keeping fans updated on their pregnancy journey ever since.

Their baby announcement was accompanied by a touching video on Instagram of the emotional moment they discovered Jessie was pregnant.

In the adorable post, they also revealed they were welcoming a baby boy, while Jessie gave insight into their gender reveal.

“It’s been a long journey, but our beautiful angel has finally been sent to us,” they wrote in the post.

‘We are so full of joy and can’t wait to meet you – baby Adamo Pearce, due December 2024.’
