Joe Sugg has taken the time to guide his supporters on the correct pronunciation of his new baby son’s name, preempting any potential confusion among acquaintances and admirers.
The popular YouTuber, aged 34, and renowned Strictly Come Dancing personality Dianne Buswell joyfully declared the birth of their baby boy recently, presenting endearing snapshots of the newborn in the hospital. Joe and Dianne also disclosed the chosen name for their son as they shared heartwarming images on their Instagram accounts.
Alongside the pictures of their precious bundle of joy, Joe expressed his overwhelming love with the caption: “Never felt a love like it,” followed by a blue heart emoji, and then revealed the name as “Baby Bowden Mark Richard Sugg 16/03/26.”
Following an influx of congratulatory messages from celebrity pals and fans, Joe subsequently utilized his Instagram story to clarify the pronunciation of his son’s name. In a photo showing the new parents holding their baby’s tiny hand, he captioned it with “Bowden Sugg,” and added in parentheses: “Pronounced Bow like How not Bow like Row… hopefully that makes sense,” accompanied by a laughing emoji.
According to the baby name resource, The Bump, Bowden signifies “shelter” and embodies the notions of security, fresh starts, and ambition.
The middle names, Mark and Richard, hold sentimental significance for both Joe and Dianne’s families. Mark is derived from Dianne’s father’s name, while Richard pays homage to Joe’s late grandfather who passed away in 2021. The couple’s romantic journey began during the 2018 season of Strictly Come Dancing, where they were partnered together, captivating audiences with their evolving relationship.
Despite not clinching the Glitterball trophy, Joe humorously acknowledged during the show’s conclusion that he had won something far more valuable. Subsequently, he confirmed their romantic involvement, marking the beginning of their enduring bond.
Their shared aspiration to start a family materialized when they announced in September their anticipation of welcoming a baby. In a heartwarming social media post, they creatively revealed the impending arrival of their “little baby boy.”
During Dianne’s tenure on Strictly, she faced criticism regarding her decision to continue dancing while pregnant. Responding with resilience, she posted a spirited dance video showcasing her energetic moves, including a cartwheel, to assert her autonomy. Supporters flooded her with praise and encouragement, lauding her determination to stay active and highlighting the empowerment of women’s bodies during pregnancy.
