Joe Wicks has announced the name of his brand new baby son! The Body Coach took to Instagram to share his little boy’s moniker – Marley. He wrote: "We’ve finally decided on a name for our little boy. His name is Marley. He’s been in the hospital for a week now with an infection but he’s on the mend and getting stronger each day. The staff at the hospital have been so wonderful and so loving to him and Rosie every day. This is the first time he’s properly opened his eyes and he’s just so chilled and relaxed even though he probably feels rough. Welcome to the world my little boy Marley."
