Ed Westwick, Star of Gossip Girl, Welcomes First Baby with Amy Jackson

Ed Westwick and Amy Jackson Welcome Their First Baby

Congratulations are in order for Ed Westwick, known for his role in Gossip Girl, and his wife, Amy Jackson, as they prepare to welcome their first child together just two months after their wedding.

The couple announced their exciting baby news through a touching Instagram post on October 31. The post features a series of beautiful photographs showcasing Amy, 32, proudly displaying her baby bump in an elegant white dress. One particularly heartwarming image captures Ed, 37, tenderly cradling his wife's stomach.

While this will be Ed's first child, Amy is already the mother of four-year-old Andreas, whom she shares with her former partner, George Panayiotou. The couple's joyful announcement follows closely on the heels of their lavish wedding ceremony held at the stunning Castello di Rocca Cilento—an exquisite five-star hotel nestled within a castle near Italy's Amalfi Coast.

Sharing moments from their special day on August 26, Ed expressed his excitement with the words, “The journey has just begun.” For their wedding, Amy donned a strapless white gown by Alberta Ferretti complemented by a multi-tiered lace veil, while Ed looked dapper in a classic white Giorgio Armani tuxedo jacket paired with black pants and a bowtie.

The couple got engaged earlier this year after two years of dating. On January 29, Amy joyfully declared "Hell YES" alongside photos from their engagement celebration. Ed shared his excitement on his Instagram Story by saying he had "hit the jackpot."

Reflecting on how they first met in 2021 during an Aston Martin race day at Silverstone track, Ed recalled that after some friendly competition, he asked Amy out for coffee—and the rest is history. He affectionately remarked to Hello!, “Her lap time was a lot better than mine. She's been making my heart race from day one!"
