The loved-up pair, who tied the knot in front of the nation, are now growing their brood – and fans couldn't be happier. 6 Tayah Victoria and Adam Aveling welcome baby number two Credit: instagram/@tayahvictoria/ 6 The Married At First Sight UK couple who found love on the hit reality show in 2021 Credit: Instagram 6 They proved their whirlwind TV romance was the real deal Credit: E4 It's been three years since Adam Aveling and Tayah Victoria were paired up on E4's Married At First Sight UK in 2021 – and their love story just keeps getting better. After tying the knot for real and welcoming their daughter Beau, the reality TV faves shared more happy news last December – baby number two was on the way! Now the wait is over, as the couple have officially welcomed their second bundle of joy. Taking to Instagram last week, Tayah posted an adorable photo of her newborn son, with the caption: "Introducing our son, Jenson Joe Aveling (JJ) 💙 we could not be happier and more in love ❤️" Fans flooded to the comment section to send their congratulations with one writing: "Congratulations guys! He's a beauty and I love the name! 😍 Hope you're both doing well and hopefully see you soon xx" Another added: "Awwwww well done mummy 😍 congratulations guys ❤️ perfect little family xxxx" A third penned: "'How beautiful this is and also that you both have made such an amazing family from meeting on a tv programme. Just love it x." Yesterday she posted a photo of her cuddling Jenson and wrote: "Can not believe our little man is 2 weeks old today, wish I could do this birth all over again. This is how we've spent the majority of those two weeks. Lots of snuggles." The Doncaster-based couple shared the gender of their second baby back in December. The mum-of-two previously said how she was going to try and do things differently this time when it comes to the birth of her second child. MAFS UK exes risk run-in at celeb packed event after bitter split and huge fall out She revealed: "So, with Beau, I kind of just went along with whatever the professionals recommended and I'm doing the same for this baby. "I did want an epidural with Beau, but I was too far on to get one, so I'd say that's probably the only thing I'd maybe ask for. "I would like to have a natural birth but if it happens that I need a C-section, then it wouldn't bother me. I just want whatever is the safest way to bring my baby into the world. I'm trying not to overthink too much because that's when I'll get stressed." She added: "I'm looking forward to being in a newborn bubble and just enjoying every minute. I said at the beginning of this pregnancy that I'm determined to enjoy it – until the sickness kicked in [laughs]. Mafs couples that have stood the test of time Loved-up Tayah Victoria and Adam Aveling of series six fame had the first Mafs baby. The pair couldn't keep their hands off each other on the programme and quickly found their feet in the outside world, moving into Adam's Doncaster home. Just 18 months after meeting, the couple welcomed their daughter Beau. Season five couple Michelle Walder and Owen Jenkins also managed to make their marriage work away from the cameras and had their first child in December. Teacher Michelle, 29, has no regrets about taking part in the experiment. She told us: 'I just feel very lucky and thankful that it has worked out - and excited for everything to come.' Michelle and Owen were both sick of dating apps when they applied in 2019. Owen recalled: 'I had been out for some drinks with a friend after work. "While he was out for a cigarette I was scrolling on Instagram waiting for him to come back in. 'The MAFS advert was the last thing I saw, and I joked, 'Wouldn't it be funny if I signed up?' 'A few beers later when I was back at home I sent in the application, and the rest is history.' Another couple to make Mafs UK history is Zoe Clifton and Jenna Robinson. Despite a slight rocky start, where they clashed over Jenna's vegan lifestyle, the show's first same sex pairing are still going strong. They even have a successful podcast together called Life With a Pod. Jenna shed light on being involved in the show earlier this year when she told us: "We're not legally married, and I never felt like we were. I definitely feel the process makes you take the relationship a lot more seriously and having the help of the experts… if you can survive that process it sets a firm foundation for a long-lasting relationship." "With Beau, I felt fine physically but struggled mentally, whereas now I am positive but feel horrific. "With Beau, I felt like I couldn't really soak anything in, I was so anxious all of the time. It's been quite a process mentally and it's really only in the last six months that I've felt better." The couple, who welcomed their daughter Beau in October 2022, tied the knot away from the cameras in an official wedding last Christmas in front of friends and family. Adam previously said: "We were going to get married on the date that both our parents got married so we were going to keep that tradition going, but now the baby is due around then so that can't happen. "Otherwise Tayah would probably be going into labour walking down the aisle and be in the hospital in a wedding dress!" 6 The TV pair welcomed their daughter Beau in 2022 Credit: Instagram 6 The mum-of-two stressed about the birth Credit: Instagram
