Rebecca Adlington's Rainbow Baby: Thea Joy

0:00What's up, I'm Corey, and these are your entertainment and celebrity headlines. Former Olympic swimmer, Rebecca Adelington, now 37, welcomed her third child, a daughter named Thea Joy last month. She shares the newborn and her two-year-old son Albi with husband Andy Parsons. She also has an eight-year-old daughter, Summer, from her previous marriage. Rebecca endured two miscarriages over three years before this pregnancy. The first came at 12 weeks in 2022 and involved a molar pregnancy that required emergency surgery. The second happened at 20 weeks, adding to the heartbreak. During her pregnancy with Thea Joy, Rebecca felt intense anxiety right up to the end. She and Andy avoided picking a name early on, fearing it might jinx things. Even at 34 weeks, she struggled to believe it was real. Thea Joy arrived on February 28 after 87 hours in the hospital. And tragically, Rebecca's grandmother Joyce passed away that same day. The middle name Joy honors her, creating a poignant full-circle moment.
