THE EXCITED FIRST-TIME PARENTS OPEN

UP ABOUT WELCOMING THEIR FIRST SON

H

e’s here! Heidi and Spencer

Pratt have welcomed

a gorgeous son named

Gunner Stone – and the

new parents are overjoyed!

‘We are so blessed to have

a beautiful healthy baby boy,’ shares the

proud mum. ‘It was the hardest and most

rewarding experience.’

Doting dad Spencer is chuffed, too.

‘Officially the most lit day of my life!’ he

said of the birth. Ahead of Gunner’s

arrival – who joined the world

weighing in at 3kg – the couple

disclosed some of their plans for

welcoming the little guy. ‘Spencer

wants me to have crystals in

the birthing room because they

represent spiritual protection,

health and a higher realm of love,’

Heidi revealed.

She stopped short of letting her

hubby paint their nursery pink

after they learnt they would be having a

boy, though. ‘No pink’s allowed in our son’s

baby room,’ Spencer bemoans. ‘I love the

colour pink! So that kind of threw me off.’

‘We’ll wait for a girl for that,’ adds Heidi,

confirming the couple were already

planning to grow their brood before the

first one had even arrived! ‘I want two or

three children,’ she explains.

Heidi, 30, still wants a girl one day, but

she’s thrilled that Spencer, 34, now has

his own little mini-me. ‘He trains jujitsu

all the time, so he’s excited to have a little

grappler,’ she shares. ‘He’ll be doing jujitsu

and soccer with him.’

Another thing we know for sure is

that any kid of Speidi’s is likely to be one

tech-savvy tot. In fact, the pair confessed

before Gunner’s birth that they picked his

name based on available social media

handles! ‘This kid will have an iPhone at

birth,’ said Spencer. ‘I’m gonna teach this

kid how to Snap when they’re born.’

‘THE BABY WILL BRING

US BACK TOGETHER’

Stephanie’s wish

Along with becoming a dad,

Spencer has also been busy

building bridges with his

estranged sister, Stephanie.

The reality star admits she

was furious when she learnt

of the baby news online. But

since then, she and Spencer

have been working things

out.‘I FaceTimed him

and I spoke to Heidi

and he started

crying,’ says

Stephanie, 31.

‘I hope him

becoming

a dad gives

us more of

a relationship.’
