The star has previously spoken about the new little man in her life. And now, with baby Ed approaching his second birthday, Jane has revealed that the joy of seeing him grow up has helped her process her grief for her beloved Eddie.
Speaking to Yours magazine, Jane shared that she loves being a great auntie – or Gr-auntie, as she calls herself.
And, she admitted, it’s impossible to feel sad about all that she’s lost when little ray of sunshine Ed is around.
“He is a miracle to us. The joy of an 18-month-old baby splashing in a puddle. You don’t watch TV when they’re around, you just sit and gaze at them,” she said.
Jane added: “We all have downs in our lives or losses in our lives, and then a new life comes and changes it all.”

Just take it, because we deserve love. All of us.
She added: “Love can be a dog, it can be a cat. It can be grandkids, it can be children. Love comes in all sorts of shapes and sizes. And it’s there. Just take it, because we deserve love. All of us.”
