Dirty Mother Pukka podcaster Anna Whitehouse, 43, gives birth to baby girl and she reveals first pics and name
Anna Whitehouse - host of the Dirty Mother Pukka podcast - has announced the birth of her third child. The 43 year old has welcomed a baby girl with her fiancé Olly Breton, who they have named Lola. Anna also shares two daughters with her ex-husband, Matt Farquharson.
Sharing beautiful pictures from hospital following her daughter's arrival and glimpses of family members meeting little Lola for the first time, Anna joyfully announced: "She’s here. A bit of a rocky start but little Lola arrived 4-weeks ahead of schedule at 9.51pm on Sunday night and we just couldn’t be happier. Or more relieved.
"Thank you for all your kind messages over the last 72-hours and for the love you’ve shown our little family over the last 9 months. We are feeling so very in love. And to the incredible midwives @chelwestft and @dr.peeva who got her here safely, we will be forever grateful", as she tagged her fiancé Olly in the post.

Messages of congratulations poured in as Giovanna Fletcher wrote: "Oh welcome to the world little love! So happy for you all!!! Love you Anna! Xxxxxx." Saira Khan said: "Huge congratulations and welcome to the world baby Lola", while former Corrie star Catherine Tyldesley gushed: "Oh she’s divine! Huge congratulations xxx."
Anna announced her pregnancy in June as she posted a photograph of herself and her growing bump on Instagram, writing: "Still can’t quite believe it. To be pregnant at 43. A little [baby emoji] between our four kids; Our blended family. Happiness doesn’t cover it. I didn’t dare dream it would happen but, then, there’s always hope and here he/she is. Hope."
She continued: "Thank you in advance for being kind in comments. It’s been a journey and your support has meant more than you might realise in the lower - and higher - moments. There is a lot of shame/judgement in moving-on post-separation and I’d love that to change. And huge love to my family, friends and partner Olly for truly holding me in getting here."
Just one month prior, in May, Anna announced she was engaged to fiance Olly, less than 12 months since her divorce from Matt Farquharson, the father of her two daughters. Olly is also dad to two children from a past relationship.
She posted a picture of her and Olly embracing with the caption: "So this happened. Can't stop smiling. Still can't quite believe it. Here's to a very different, blended family love story."
Anna and her ex Matt co-wrote the book Where's My Happy Ending?: Happily Ever After and How the Heck to Get There in 2020, under the names Mama Pukka and Papa Pukka, after building a huge joint online following.
The couple then announced their divorce in late 2023 after 17 years, with Anna calling is "kindly untangling".
