'Real talk – the road to get here hasn't been easy. It's been full of plot twists, growing pains, and challenging moments. But every single one shaped me. Broke me open. Built something real. Something solid.' He continued: 'Now I look at my son and everything makes sense. My mission. My why. 'To everyone who's walked with me, held space – I see you. I thank you. I love you.' Tre then turned his loving focus onto his wife: 'To my wife Enas – you are power, beauty, grace and grit. What you've done, what you've carried, what you've become. I'm in awe. 'And to my son… I've got you. Through everything. Through the madness and the magic. From now till my last breath – I've got you. The next chapter begins now. Let's get it.' In the replies, Tre and Enas received comments of love from many friends and family, including Mis-Teeq's Su-Elise and 2022 Apprentice winner Harpreet Kaur. Harpreet said, 'Congratulations! Beautiful!' while Su-Elise commented, 'Huge congratulations to you both. Love you guys. We're just so happy for you! Welcome to parenthood.' Tre and Enas, who are based in the Notting Hill area of London, tied the knot in 2023, shortly before Tre began his run on The Apprentice. More Trending Speaking to MailOnline after his stint, Tre said that his then-unborn son would be in safe hands if Lord Sugar ended up being his godfather. 'If anything happened to me. I know my kid is going to be all right. If Lord Sugar was the godparent, can you imagine the wisdom that kid would have.' He added: 'If I could add Lord Sugar to the mix of [my family], my kid would be sorted. I mean, it would have the creativity of me, so that side would be sorted, and it would have the entrepreneurial side from Lord Sugar.' View More » The Apprentice is available to watch on BBC iPlayer.

"And just like that, I'm a father," he said. "There's nothing that prepares you for this moment. No book, no podcast, no advice. Just you, your son, and a whole new frequency of love. Real talk - the road to get here hasn't been easy. It's been full of plot twists, growing pains, and challenging moments. But every single one shaped me. Broke me open. Built something real.

Tre, who tied the knot to Enas Daeki in 2023, previously discussed being an older dad after announcing his wife's pregnancy last year. He said he sometimes, in 'his weaker moments', questions whether he waited too long to become a father. "I do think about it, because when my child is going to university, I'm going to be like 70 or 71! And by the time it graduates, I'm going to be like 75," he said to MailOnline. "I do worry and think about whether I'm still going to be healthy and well." During the chat, he also admitted Lord Sugar would be the perfect godparent to his child as his son would be "alright" with the business mogul. "If Lord Sugar was the godparent, can you imagine the wisdom that kid would have," he added.

The Apprentice star Tre Lowe, 50, becomes a father for the first time as he welcomes a son after saying he wants Lord Sugar to be the godfather
The Apprentice star Tre Lowe has officially become a father after welcoming his first child. Tre, 50, who appeared on last year's edition of the BBC show, confirmed he was going to be a father back in November. And on Saturday, he shared the happy news to Instagram that he and wife Enas have welcomed their son into the world. He shared an adorable photograph of himself clutching his newborn son's hand as he gushed over his arrival. ' And just like that, I'm a father,' broadcaster and speaker Tre penned in a heartfelt post. 'There's nothing that prepares you for this moment. No book, no podcast, no advice. Just you, your son, and a whole new frequency of love. 'Real talk - the road to get here hasn't been easy. It's been full of plot twists, growing pains, and challenging moments. 'But every single one shaped me. Broke me open. Built something real. Something solid.' Tre went on to reflect on some harder times in his life and praised his beloved wife, describing her as 'power'. 'Now I look at my son and everything makes sense. My mission. My why,' he continued. 'To everyone who's walked with me, held space - I see you. I thank you. I love you. 'To my wife Enas - you are power, beauty, grace and grit. What you've done, what you've carried, what you've become… I'm in awe. 'And to my son…I've got you. Through everything. Through the madness and the magic. 'From now till my last breath - I've got you. The next chapter begins now. Let's get it.' Enas and Tre, who now live in London's affluent Notting Hill, tied the knot in July 2023. The couple were previously quizzed on whether they are considering Lord Sugar as a godparent, following his good relationship with Tre on the show. Tre, who just missed out on the final when he was fired in the penultimate episode of this year's series, gushed that the TV boss would be a 'great godparent'. He told The Mail: 'God, if anything happened to me. I know my kid is going to be all right. If Lord Sugar was the godparent, can you imagine the wisdom that kid would have. 'I was lucky in many ways, because you know my dad's an entrepreneur as well. He came to this country penniless and made a small fortune for himself. 'So, we're lucky in that regard, and in Enas's side of the family the have a property portfolio from Libya to here. But God! 'If I could add Lord Sugar to the mix of that, my kid would be sorted. I mean, it would have the creativity of me, so that side would be sorted, and it would have the entrepreneurial side from Lord Sugar.' Opening up on his concerns about his age, the TV star added: 'I do worry and think about whether I'm still going to be healthy and well. I'm very fit for my age, and even though I look much younger than what I am, biologically, I am still what I am. 'But like, I say, I think if you're not going to live life in your discomfort zone, there's no point living, and I always live by that motto. 'I'm really big on taking chances. Hence. Why, I went on to The Apprentice, and I love really the competition that life is, and I think the harder it is, the harder you become.'

Selena Waterman-Smith - We're used to tensions running high in the boardroom, but in 2015 a disagreement between two candidates spilled over – for the first time - into a physical bust-up. Events manager Selina Waterman-Smith was given a verbal warning by show bosses for her role in an off-camera scrap with Charleine Wain. The TV star continued: "I'm very fit for my age, and even though I look much younger than what I am, biologically, I am still what I am. "But like, I say, I think if you're not going to live life in your discomfort zone, there's no point living, and I always live by that motto." 4
