Little Albie dozes peacefully (above) at only a few days old, supporting his adoring mother’s claim that he is “super chilled”.
As an Olympian who broke records with her speed in the swimming pool, Rebecca Adlington is used to doing things quickly. But even she couldn’t believe how fast her baby son arrived when he made his debut in the world earlier this month.
Speaking for the first time about the arrival of little Albie Bennett Parsons, Becky, 32, reveals to HELLO! that he was born less than two hours after she arrived at Stepping Hill hospital in Stockport on 4 March. “We went to hospital at 4am and he was here just before 6am,” Becky tells us of Albie, her first child with partner Andy Parsons and brother to her fiveyear- old daughter Summer. “I had a natural birth, it was all straightforward. We are all so besotted with him.”
