Shayne Ward’s baby news
Yesterday, a month on from the birth of their baby boy, Shayne and Sophie revealed his adorable and sentimental name.
Shayne and Sophie spoke to HELLO! magazine about naming their baby boy Reign Thomas Austin Ward.
Shayne explained that they were initially expecting to have a little girl.
This meant that they had a number of girl names lined up, but no boy names – leading to a hasty rethink.
“There was one name I had heard that I had liked, which was Reign, and Shayne loves anything medieval,” Sophie explained.
Shayne then said that as soon as Sophie suggested it, he thought it was nice.
The couple then went on to explain the meaning behind Reign’s middle names.
“My middle name is Thomas and Austin is after Sophie’s father,” Shayne explained.
“I thought that Reign Thomas Austin Ward sounded really good and it just fitted him.”

It comes after the couple had numerous failed attempts at IVF.
Shayne also said he wasn’t “fussed” whether Reign was a boy or a girl, and that he was just “over the moon” to be a dad again.
