The 36-year-old recently commemorated Glorious’ birth with a heartfelt Instagram tribute after giving birth to him back in February.

Alongside some precious snaps of her bub she wrote: ‘Here he is …. Our main man, Glorious!

‘He came into our lives on 2.2.22 and has completed our family. He is the happiest most chill baby and his big sisters adore him, #GloriousHartKirkham’

Glorious is Jessica’s second child with her fiancé, who has a seven-year-old daughter Wren from a previous relationship. 

The former Victoria’s Secret model announced her she was expecting her second child in June last year, confirming she was six weeks pregnant.

Her happy announcement came just seven months after she and James, 37, welcomed their daughter.

Jessica and James made headlines when they named their little girl Baby, after the popular character from 1980s film, Dirty Dancing.

Jessica said she opted to add a personal touch to the name, too.

‘My legal name is Jessica-Rae after my mother Rae and I wanted Baby to have something relating to me in her name as, naturally, she takes Kirkham as a last name,’ she explained.

‘I was never a fan of the double last names so we’ve given Baby the hyphenated Rae too. Her legal name is Baby-Rae Kirkham, but we just call her Baby.’

But one person in particular wasn’t happy with the decision: Jessica’s friend Sasha Benz, who named her daughter Baybi almost three years ago.

Sources with knowledge of the situation told The Sun-Herald the naming had caused a rift between the two women, but Sasha confirmed to Daily Mail Australia the pair have since patched things up.

‘Of course Jess and I are still friends. We chatted it out a few weeks back – and I am happy she has a name she loves for her beautiful girl,’ Sasha said at the time.

A source told the Sun-Herald that Sasha was ‘devastated’ her close friend would copy her daughter’s ‘unique’ name – and while she didn’t dispute this, she did confirm their feud was well and truly over.

‘This is her moment and I want her to enjoy this beautiful part of becoming a mother,’ Sasha added.

‘Baybi is almost three now and our new babies are only weeks apart, so it’s more important that they all grow up knowing there are more important things to care about, and both Jess and I agree on that.’
