Jane McDonald’s touching confession about ‘cute new man’ in her family

| Updated:

Jane McDonald is back on our screens this weekend (July 21) for her Cruising The Med show.

Away from the spotlight, though, Jane has doubtless been busy cooing over a “cute” new man in her life in the form of her niece’s baby.

The singer-songwriter revealed at the end of 2022 that the tot helped her “let the light in” following the death of her partner, Eddie.

During an appearance on Loose Women in November 2022, Jane opened up about her family life.

Jane also opened up about how she was doing, a year after the death of her partner.

Sadly, Eddie passed away in March 2021 following a battle with lung cancer.

During the show, Jane said she was doing “so much better”.

“I’m doing so much better and you realise just how important your family and friends are,” she said.

“I have more good days now than bad days and I relish those now.”

She then continued, saying: “I was very lucky – I’ve always had a very busy life without a partner, so I’ve been able to just carry on and my fans were just incredible. They got me through so much over the tour, so I’m very grateful.”

‘I’m so in love’

The singer then went on to speak about the new “man”.

Jane revealed to the panel that her niece had a baby boy, and in a sweet tribute to Jane’s late partner, named him Ed.

“There’s a new man in your life –  a cute new man,” Ruth Langsford said to Jane.

“He’s just the light. He’s just so beautiful, I can’t believe it,” Jane gushed as she spoke about baby Ed.

“My niece, Katie, has had a little baby boy, and they’ve called him Ed,” she said.

“And he’s just gorgeous!” Jane cried as the audience applauded.

“I’m so in love,” she said. “I didn’t know you could feel that.”
