Stella McCartney and Alasdhair Willis welcome third child, son Beckett Robert Lee
Furniture company CEO Alasdhair Willis and designer Stella McCartney, 36, have welcomed their third child. Originally due on New Years Day, Beckett Robert Lee Willis instead arrived on the morning of Tuesday, January 8th in London. A rep says mother and son are doing well.
Beckett joins older siblings Miller Alasdhair James, 2 ½, and Bailey Linda Olwyn, 13 months. Grandpa is, of course, Paul McCartney.
Confirmation of the pregnancy had been made in July. In September, Alasdhair admitted that the surprise pregnancy had been a ‘delightful shock.’

Congrats to Stella and Allistar on the birth of their child

I so had a feeling it was a boy. Congrats to them, the kids are pretty close together in age.
January 10th, 2008 at 3:27 pm
Congrats to the proud parents! I had this feeling it was probably going to be another boy. They sure will have their hands full!

I thought the same thing about the similarity in McCartney’s and Etheridge’s choices of baby names when Bailey was born. I love the names.
I am sure he is cute.

Congrats!!
CBB- when was Bayley born again??
January 10th, 2008 at 4:27 pm
Mariam, it says in the post that Bailey is 13 months.
So 13 months ago — Dec ‘06.

Mariam, Bailey was born on December 8, 2006. Which is, as most people know, the day that John Lennon passed so hopefully that puts Paul in a better mood on that day. Also a coincidence Miller was born on George Harrisons birthday. Sorry for the little bit of Beatle trivia, I couldn’t help myself.

Congratulations! Very cute name, I love Beckett, and it does go well with Miller and Bailey.
Cute names!

I also just noticed that Beckett was born on Elvis’ birthday. While it isn’t Beatles/Paul related unlike the other two I just thought it was kind of cool. While I so love Paul to bits, I also the king as well!
January 11th, 2008 at 7:25 am
Oh I’m so happy for them! I love the name! I bet Sir Paul is “high in the clouds”.
January 11th, 2008 at 2:43 pm
LOVE the name! They are going to have their hands full and be very busy – but such is the way with surprise babies! Mazel tov.

I found out where Christina Agulara was getting her birth announcements. More like which one, but has anyone heard where Stella McCartney is getting hers for her boy or which one? The two places thus far seem to ba a company called Ten Fingers and Toes and the other one i’ve seen alot of is Tiny Prints. If anyone here’s let me know. I’m due in February and wold love to see what the celebrities are getting. Thanks!! and congrats to Stella!!

I love Stella Mac Cartney ! Plus she’s a genuinely committed person.
For instance, did you know that she’s been a vegetarian since age 3?
I like that kind of vegetarians …I wish I were there the day they decided to stop eating meat…must be cute
