We May Only Get Glimpses, but Holly Willoughby's Family Moments Are Always Adorable

When Holly Willoughby's not lighting up our TV screens, making us want to buy a whole new swimwear wardrobe [1], or giving us endless outfit ideas [2], she's hanging out with her adorable family. Holly and her husband, Dan Baldwin, are parents to three children. Their first child, Harry James, arrived in May 2009 when Holly was 28, with daughter Belle joining the family in April 2011. In September 2014, the family welcomed Chester William to the fold. Although he was a surprise addition [3], Holly had told The Mirror just four months before announcing her pregnancy that she wanted another child and always thought she'd have a "big family" [4].

Holly has made sure to balance her career and family life, stepping down from presenting The Voice when her firstborn was starting school in September 2013. She admitted that she shocked herself at how emotional she was on Harry's first day. When she couldn't stop crying in the studio while filming This Morning, Philip Schofield told her to pull herself together! But it was because Harry "looked so grown-up in his uniform" and Holly realised he wasn't "a baby any more." Awww.

In February 2017, Holly opened up to Hello! about how all she'd ever wanted to do "was to be a mum" [5]. She revealed that Belle is "a mix of complete tomboy and real girl," while "Harry's football mad" (like his Dad). In March 2019, Holly shared on The One Show that Chester loves guitar [6].

Apart from the occasional touching story like these, Holly rarely shares information about her kids, preferring to keep her family life private. Although she sometimes shares adorable Instagram photos with her kids, Holly makes sure not to show their faces and just gives us a subtle glimpse at family life. Ahead, take a peek at some of Holly's cutest moments with her kids that she's shared on Instagram, including plenty of birthday bundles.
