Laura Woods and Love Island star Adam Collard welcome first child

Sports presenter Laura Woods and Love Island star Adam Collard have welcomed their first child together, a baby boy.

Woods, 37, and 29-year-old Collard became engaged last year, after the announcement of the pregnancy.

In a simple post on Instagram on Saturday, Collard wrote: “Leo Ernie Collard, our boy.”

He also shared images of the new addition to their family, Woods in hospital, him holding their new baby, and Leo sleeping and meeting a dog.

Among those sending messages of congratulation was Love Island stars Luca Bish, Samira Mighty and Andrew Le Page, as well as DJ Dawkins.

Collard appeared on series four of Love Island in 2015 before he returned in 2022 for series eight, leaving the villa with Paige Thorne.

They split shortly after leaving the competition, and he later appeared on Celebs Go Dating in 2023 – which featured Lottie Moss.

He was romantically linked to model Moss, a half-sister of Kate Moss.

Woods, who works for ITV and TNT Sports covering football and other sports, was previously in a long relationship with rugby star Alex Corbisiero.

She reportedly began dating Collard in 2023, and recalled in May last year how he looked after her following an accident that led to her pulling out of hosting coverage of the heavyweight championship match between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk.

Woods said in an Instagram post that Collard had been her “hero that day” and acted “so quickly” after she swung a pillow and hit a large, glass lampshade which shattered and cut her face and arms.
