“It was a very peaceful and calm birth, which is really what we were hoping for,” Aly recalled to People about Jack‘s birth. “He’s just a great little guy. He’s got a really special disposition about him.”
Jack was born at 6:40 am on Sunday, April 21, about two weeks before his due date. He was born weighing 6 lbs., 10 oz.
Aly went on to say that Jack‘s name was inspired by her late maternal grandfather while his middle name, Francis, is a family name on her husband’s side.
“We just kind of knew immediately like, ‘Oh yeah, he’s a Jack,’” Aly added.
Aly also said that spending time with Jack has been “magical,” sharing, “For the first week, I was in bed and just getting fed yummy meals by my husband, hydrating, sleeping with [Jack] and feeding him. And a lot of diaper changes.”
Aly and Stephen married back in 2015 in Italy. She announced back in January that she was pregnant.
