X Factor Star Welcomes First Child and the Name is Just Too Cute (but is It?)

In a rather predictable plot twist, a certain X Factor star has joined the ranks of new parents, supposedly popping out a baby girl. Yes, darling, we’re talking about the one who faded into the background around 2009, eclipsed by the likes of Olly Murs and Stacey Solomon. Now, she’s allegedly serving up a name that’s supposed to melt our hearts — Elowen Hersey-Jones. Cue the collective ‘aww’ from Instagram! She’s been busy sharing an onslaught of ‘adorable’ photos with her partner, a restaurant mogul because, of course, nothing says ‘look at my new baby’ quite like a half-dozen snapshots in a chic café. The couple’s lovey-dovey posts are dripping with sincerity as they gush about being ‘so lucky’ to welcome the ‘most perfect angel on the planet.’ Sweetheart, we all know that’s just what new parents say — spare us the saccharine schtick.

This romance has been a wild ride, especially after her eight-year marriage went up in flames. Apparently, they had a long history of friendship before graduating to coupledom. How original! From friend-zoned to future husband, we can only roll our eyes at the sheer romance of it all. And what’s next for our starlet? She’s leaping from X Factor to Eurovision with a detour through musical theatre—because checking all the boxes is a must, right? Here’s hoping little Elowen doesn’t turn out to be her mother’s next audition tape. We’re all just waiting with bated breath for that first single. Sips dry martini.
