Tessa James, Nate Myles and baby

The actress and her husband introduce their new addition

TWO DAYS AFTER SHE first shared a baby-related photo on Instagram, Tessa James stepped out for breakfast with her husband, Nate Myles, and their new addition in Melbourne on Feb. 10. The actress, an ambassador for luxury brand Longines, had most likely worked up an appetite after participating in the Commonwealth Games Queen’s Baton relay. Motherhood “is incredible,” she told Sydney’s Daily Telegraph after the event. “I’m just so happy. It’s the biggest thing I’ve ever done and it’s extremely rewarding.”

While the new mum declined to reveal the baby’s name or gender, a source reveals to WHO that James, 26, and NRL player Myles, 32, welcomed a girl. The former Home and Away star’s spokesman confirmed her pregnancy last August, a happy postscript to her 2014 diagnosis of non-hodgkin lymphona. Throughout their ordeal, the couple kept alive their dream of starting a family, as James said in 2016: “There are high stats of people my age having had treatment who have children, so I hope that is in the future for us.”

With that dream fulfilled, James is concentrating on her health and looking forward to returning to work. “There are so many wonderful opportunities with powerful women’s roles,” she told Fairfax Media. But it’s family first. “I feel really proud of Nate and I,” she told The Daily Telegraph, reflecting on parenthood. “It’s empowering.”

“The baby was born last year, so it’s been a little while,” said James (with Myles and their newborn in Melbourne on Feb. 10).

“Summer 2017,”James captioned this swimsuit snap on Instagram.

The star loaded the car after breakfast. A source tells WHO their baby is a girl.

“I knew she was going to be back to 100 per cent,” Myles (with his child) told Daily Life in 2016 of his wife’s health battle. “It’s really wonderful. Things are going really well and we’re all really content and healthy and happy,” James told Fairfax...

James and Myles met through friends in 2009 and exchanged vows in an under-the-radar wedding in December 2011.
