Joe Lycett's Surprising Baby Announcement

From Self-Absorbed to Dad

Comedian Joe Lycett, known for his witty humor, previously dismissed the idea of having children, citing being too self-absorbed and not ready for fatherhood. At 29, he humorously remarked that it would take "3-400 years" before he considered having a baby.

A Change of Heart

However, in a dramatic turn of events, the 37-year-old Joe Lycett has revealed that he has welcomed his first child. This news comes shortly after confirming his long-term girlfriend, whom he keeps out of the public eye.

Reflections on Fatherhood

In a column he wrote in 2017 titled 'Help! I'm almost 30 and my friends are procreating like humanity depends on it!' for The Guardian, Joe humorously expressed his reluctance towards parenthood as his friends embarked on the journey of having children. He shared an anecdote about his reaction to his friends announcing their plans for a baby.

Gratitude to the Hospital

Joe took to Instagram to share the joyous news of becoming a father and expressed his gratitude towards the Birmingham women’s hospital for their exceptional care during the delivery of his son. He praised the hospital staff for their support and mentioned how much he appreciated their care.

Joe humorously added that his newfound fatherhood might mean he can't avoid going on a friend's podcast. He also joked about selling the rights to the first family picture to Autotrader.
