The couple welcomed their first child together at the end of last year at their home in Bedford, New York, although the pair were typically tight-lipped about the date of the birth.

Blake, 27, initially revealed her pregnancy on her lifestyle website, Preserve, in October 2014, however she had already hinted at her impending pregnancy in an interview with Vogue a few months before, when speaking about her husband:

“He’s going to be a great father and leader and patriarch—he’s so meant to be all of those things.”

On her dreams to have a big family, Blake told Us Weekly that it was something she'd always dreamed of: “It’s something that I’ve always wanted ever since I was a little girl. I never knew what I wanted to do for a living but I knew I wanted to have a lot of kids because I had come from a big family, so it was always important to me. So it’s just the excitement of that finally being here.”

The couple got married in a low-key ceremony at the Boone Hall Plantation (from The Notebook, fact fans) in December 2012, with just 35 guests in attendance. The bride wore a Marchesa gown and the groom wore a Burberry suit. Blake's close friend Florence Welch serenaded the newly weds.
