Made In Chelsea favourite Maeva D’Ascanio has given fans a heart-warming first look at life as a mother of two, sharing an intimate new photo of her newborn daughter just days after announcing her arrival and revealing her name.
The 33-year-old reality star welcomed her second child, Josephine Scarlett Taylor, with husband James Taylor on Thursday — and on Saturday, she treated followers to a quiet glimpse of the little one peacefully sleeping. Posting the photo on Instagram Stories, she captioned it affectionately: “Another little pudding I want to eat.”
The sweet moment comes shortly after Maeva broke the news of Josephine’s birth in an evening post, sharing a series of tender photos and writing: “Welcome to the world, little Josephine Scarlett Taylor.”
Maeva, who first appeared on Made In Chelsea in 2019 as Miles Nazaire’s on-off girlfriend before finding lasting love with James, looked every inch the doting mother in the newest photo. The couple — who married in 2023 — already share two-year-old Beau, and the newborn marks a new milestone for their growing family.
The star revealed her pregnancy back in May, sharing a touching video of Beau kissing her baby bump and proudly announcing that they were expecting a girl. “We can’t wait to meet you, pretty little girl,” she wrote at the time.
Maeva and James tied the knot in November 2023 at Chelsea Registry Office before hosting a grand second ceremony the following month at Hedsor House in Buckinghamshire. Surrounded by 76 guests, Christmas trees, candles, white roses and fairy lights, the pair described their festive wedding as “perfect” when speaking to Hello! Magazine.
Maeva stunned in a floor-length Liz Martinez gown from P.S. Bridal Rental, paired with Jimmy Choo heels. The silk-and-lace dress featured hand-embroidered florals — a blend of modern delicacy and classic elegance the bride said she had always dreamed of. “It was a little see-through, but also traditional,” she explained. “I managed to get everything in one dress.”
The ceremony held an especially poignant moment when their son Beau, the couple’s firstborn, was carried down the aisle by his father to Elton John’s Your Song. Guests described it as one of the most emotional highlights of the night.
Now, with baby Josephine completing their family of four, Maeva has stepped back into the whirlwind of early motherhood — sharing glimpses that have already captivated fans.
And if the first photos are any indication, the Made In Chelsea star is embracing these newborn days with the same mixture of glamour, sentiment and warmth that made viewers fall in love with her in the first place.
