A Traditional Celebration at Home
Gemma Atkinson and Gorka Marquez are excited to celebrate their first Christmas with their adorable baby Thiago. The couple, who welcomed Thiago earlier this year, will be joined by their daughter Mia for a festive day at home. Gemma revealed that their celebration will be traditional, complete with party hats, games, and a classic holiday movie.
A Family Affair
Strictly professional Gorka will be flying his parents in from Spain to join in on the Christmas festivities. Gorka shared that in his native Spain, Christmas is a full party that can last for two weeks, providing people with any excuse not to work. With the whole family together, Gemma and Gorka are looking forward to creating special memories with their children.
Gemma Hits Back at Critics
Gemma recently faced criticism after introducing solid food to baby Thiago at four months old. However, Gemma defended her decision, explaining that she recognized the signs that Thiago was ready for solids, such as draining his bottles and reaching out for food. Gemma began feeding Thiago baby porridge alongside his usual bottles of milk, but some accused her of spreading misinformation to new mothers.
