Looking shocked and happy, they kissed and cuddled with their little girl in a beautiful countryside setting.
Former estate agent Tayah told about her electrician -turned-fitness-model husband: "He’s a really good girl dad. I think there’s pros and cons to both, though.
"I have a sister and I know what it’s like to be able to share clothes and have that sisterly bond. But then, it’d be lovely to see Adam with a little boy – even if that would mean a new challenge and learning things all over again."
The brunette, who welcomed their daughter in October 2022 after a tense pregnancy, is set to give birth in April 2025.

Adam admitted about having a boy: "I’ve always said I’d like one, but I wouldn’t complain if it was another girl because Beau is just incredible."
Tayah added: "He’s a really good girl dad. I think there’s pros and cons to both, though. I have a sister and I know what it’s like to be able to share clothes and have that sisterly bond.

"But then, it’d be lovely to see Adam with a little boy – even if that would mean a new challenge and learning things all over again."
The mum-of-one added how she was going to try and do things differently this time. She said: "So, with Beau, I kind of just went along with whatever the professionals recommended and I’m doing the same for this baby.
"I did want an epidural with Beau, but I was too far on to get one, so I’d say that’s probably the only thing I’d maybe ask for.
"I would like to have a natural birth but if it happens that I need a C-section, then it wouldn’t bother me. I just want whatever is the safest way to bring my baby into the world. I’m trying not to overthink too much because that’s when I’ll get stressed."
"I’m looking forward to being in a newborn bubble and just enjoying every minute. I said at the beginning of this pregnancy that I’m determined to enjoy it – until the sickness kicked in [laughs]. With Beau, I felt fine physically but struggled mentally, whereas now I am positive but feel horrific.
"With Beau, I felt like I couldn’t really soak anything in, I was so anxious all of the time. It’s been quite a process mentally and it’s really only in the last six months that I’ve felt better."
The couple, who welcomed their daughter Beau in October 2022, tied the knot away from the cameras in an official wedding last Christmas in front of friends and family.
