Hannah’s Nesting Instincts in Overdrive as Birth Approaches
Hannah Cooper-Dommett, 37, admitted in an exclusive interview that her nesting instincts have gone into overdrive. She’s been putting her husband Joel, 40, to work with an extensive to-do list written in Sharpie pen. One recent task involved changing batteries in LED church candles for the birth setup. Hannah explained that Joel’s busy schedule means she often has to repeat requests, so the written list keeps him accountable and organized.
She praised her husband’s natural abilities as a father, joking that marrying a comedian was the perfect move. “I’ve essentially married a clown,” she said with a laugh. “He’s got so much energy, animation, and imagination. It’s a blessing.” Hannah also revealed she’s been staying close to home in London, canceling a planned babymoon last week to prepare for labor.

Wilde’s Excitement and Unexpected Gender Revelations
The couple’s son Wilde is thrilled about becoming a big brother, though his enthusiasm comes with a humorous catch. “He’s very excited he might receive a gift from the baby,” Hannah shared. “I think he’s viewing it as Christmas Day.” However, despite her and Joel trying to keep the baby’s gender private, young Wilde seems determined to share the news with absolutely everyone. Hannah revealed he’s been telling strangers, even the Ocado delivery man, exactly what gender the baby is.
The model described feeling all the emotions as they prepare for their second child. “It’s a whirlwind of emotions that you almost don’t have time to think about,” she explained. “Maybe that’s a good thing.” She also opened up about managing mum guilt as she navigates preparing for two young children while balancing her career and family life.
How Second Pregnancy Differs from the First Time Around
Hannah was candid about how different her second pregnancy has been compared to welcoming Wilde. “The first time was definitely more of a luxury,” she said. “You read so much about pregnancy and birth, but this time I just haven’t had time. You don’t even have time to nap with a toddler.” She emphasized how much more informed she felt during her first pregnancy versus now. The constant demands of parenting a two-year-old have left her with little opportunity for the research and preparation she did the first time around.
| Aspect | First Pregnancy | Second Pregnancy |
| Time for Research | Extensive reading | Minimal time available |
| Preparation Level | Luxury and anticipation | Hectic with toddler care |
| Emotional State | Focused on pregnancy | Whirlwind of emotions |
| Child Care | N/A | Managing Wilde, age 2 |
“I read so much about pregnancy and birth, and then read nothing about after. The fourth trimester is something we don’t really talk about.”

Balancing Two Young Children and the Importance of Asking for Help
Hannah acknowledged the challenge of transitioning from one child to two. She discussed how parenthood has changed basic routines, noting that Joel and she now go for dinner at 5 p.m. to ensure good service and an early return home. “If you’d told 21-year-old me I’d be going for a 5 p.m. dinner reservation, I’d have freaked out,” she joked. “We’re not rock and roll anymore.” The couple has adapted their lifestyle significantly since becoming parents, prioritizing early bedtimes and organized schedules over spontaneous outings.
She emphasized the importance of asking for help and rejecting the stigma around admitting when you’re struggling. “I think we all try to pretend we’ve got it nailed, so asking means you’re not coping. Actually it’s the complete opposite,” Hannah stated. She’s also supporting MAM Baby’s “Be the Village” campaign, which encourages new parents to build support networks. Her newfound confidence in parenting comes partly from her mother’s health struggles before Wilde’s birth, which taught her that perfection isn’t necessary.
What’s Next: The Fourth Trimester and Beyond?
Joel and Hannah announced their second pregnancy in November 2025 through a sweet Instagram post showing Wilde reaching toward his mother’s exposed bump. The couple, who met in 2016 after Hannah messaged Joel on Instagram following his appearance on I’m A Celebrity, married in 2019 in Mykonos. They’ve built a life centered on family and authenticity, with Hannah now more open about the realities of parenting. As they prepare to welcome their second child within days, both parents seem ready to embrace the chaos with humor and support from their loved ones. Will Joel and Hannah finally manage to keep the baby’s gender a secret once they meet their new arrival?
