Bachelor in Paradise’s Alisha Aitken-Radburn and Glenn Smith Welcome Baby No. 2 — But It’s Their Son’s Meaningful Name That Melted Hearts
After turning a reality TV romance into a real-life family, Alisha Aitken-Radburn and Glenn Smith are celebrating another unforgettable milestone.
The Bachelor in Paradise couple have welcomed their second child together, sharing the joyful news alongside the touching name they chose for their newborn son.
A new chapter begins with the arrival of baby Albie
Alisha and Glenn announced on social media that they welcomed a healthy baby boy on Saturday, July 26, sharing a series of tender photographs taken in the maternity ward.
The proud parents looked overwhelmed with happiness as they held their newest family member close for the first time.
Alongside the images, they revealed their son’s full name:
“Welcoming Albie Richard Smith. Born 9.53pm on Saturday, 4.36kg.”
They added that the whole family had already fallen in love.
“Mum, Dad and Poppy are just smitten.”
Reality TV friends celebrate the happy news
The announcement was quickly met with an outpouring of congratulations from fellow Australian reality TV stars.
Former Bachelor contestant Irena Srbinovska praised the new mum, writing:
“Congratulations to you all. Well done, Mumma.”
First Dates Australia personality Annaliese Gann described little Albie as “a gorgeous big boy,” while Married At First Sight alum Cyrell Paule also shared her congratulations.
From one little miracle to a family of four
Baby Albie is the couple’s second child.
They welcomed daughter Poppy in October 2024, making the Smith family officially a family of four less than two years later.
Their latest announcement marks another joyful chapter in a love story that first began on television.
A pregnancy that followed months of quiet hope
While the arrival of baby Albie is filled with celebration, Alisha has previously spoken openly about the emotional journey that came before becoming a mother.
The couple announced their first pregnancy in April 2024 with a photo holding an ultrasound image, revealing they had been keeping the news private.
At the time, Alisha admitted the road to pregnancy had been more emotionally challenging than she expected.
“We were trying for five months and we’re grateful it happened.”
She reflected on how each passing month brought both hope and disappointment.
“Before trying to conceive, I didn’t realise how black and white the process can feel. Your period comes and you regroup for another month.”
Her honesty resonated with many couples navigating similar experiences.
A love story that began where few reality romances survive
Alisha and Glenn first met while filming Bachelor in Paradise in 2020.
What began as a televised romance soon developed into a lasting relationship away from the cameras.
The couple married in Western Australia in April 2023 before beginning the family they had long dreamed of.
For Alisha, the journey has been especially meaningful.
After initially receiving a controversial “villain edit” during her time on The Bachelor Australia, she later won over audiences through her appearances on Bachelor in Paradise, where viewers saw a different side of her personality—and where she ultimately met the man who would become her husband.
A name that quietly marks the beginning of another beautiful chapter
For Alisha and Glenn, the arrival of Albie Richard Smith is about far more than welcoming another baby.
It is the latest chapter in a journey built on resilience, second chances and a love story that continued long after the cameras stopped rolling.
And while fans celebrated the couple’s growing family, many couldn’t help but pause at one small detail—the thoughtful name chosen for their newborn son, adding an extra layer of meaning to an already unforgettable announcement.
