‘To see my daughter with a beautiful baby boy in her arms is over whelming’

Gazing down at the youngest addition to her family, Liz Earle radiates with the joy that comes with becoming a grandmother for the first time.

And as HELLO! joins the author and wellness expert at her tranquil home in the West Country, she tells us how her new family role – along with finding love with a “younger boyfriend” and self-care including a daily dip in her large freshwater pond – is helping her live life to the full.

“I feel better, stronger and happier than ever before,” says Liz, who is joined by elder daughter Lily, 33, and her newborn son, as well as Liz’s younger children Brella, 23, and Kit, 21, for this exclusive photoshoot.

Welcoming her first grandchild is “quite a milestone”, says Liz, who turned 60 last May and is also mum to Guy, 31, and her 14-year-old youngest son, whom she doesn’t name because of his age.

BURSTING WITH PRIDE

“Lily is already an amazing mother; she exudes such calm,” says Liz, adding that her new grandson – who was born at the beginning of April and whose name the family are keeping private – is a “very content” baby. “I’ve actually yet to hear him cry. He likes opening one eye and looking at you.”
