The scene contained clips showing Tony affectionately hugging his daughter shortly following the birth of her first baby.

Toni excitedly wrote in the heartfelt post’s caption: ‘Introducing our handsome newborn son, Freddie-Floyd Hadley Huntley, born on May 19th, 2025.’

There’s no describing the depth of our affection for him; he’s an irreplaceable treasure, already occupying the heart of our universe.

Day after day, it’s hard not to gaze upon you, filled with astonishment and heartfelt appreciation for being a part of our lives. Freddie-Floyd, your presence has brought us more joy than we’ve ever known.

You are everything we could have hoped for and then some. Your first week here on Earth has been overflowing with love, as you’ve met your London grandparents, great-grandmother, aunts, and uncles. Ever since you arrived, the world has been utterly smitten by you!

As Tony is getting ready for a European tour this year, he recently welcomed the arrival of his grandson, after departing from Spandau Ballet in 2017.

In the ’80s, a popular boy band emerged, comprising Tony, the Martin and Gary Kemp brothers, saxophonist Steve Norman, and drummer John Keeble. This group achieved eight UK Top 10 albums and ten UK Top 10 hits.

The ’80s saw the rise of a well-known boy band featuring Tony, the Kemp brothers Martin and Gary, saxophonist Steve Norman, and drummer John Keeble. They managed to secure eight UK Top 10 albums and ten UK Top 10 hits.

During that epoch, my devotion to our band’s music catapulted Tony and us into being recognized in every household, thanks to hits like Gold. Our melodies became a staple on the playlists of nightclubs nationwide.

However, following his departure in 2017, Tony disclosed that his bandmates had made his life unbearable during the peak of their popularity.

In 2023, he confided in The Mirror: “Even if they gave me unlimited tea from China, I wouldn’t reconsider my decision. It’s not going to happen.

I’m generally relaxed, but be warned, if you manage to push my limits and overstep certain boundaries, I may become unresponsive or withdraw altogether.

Tony went on saying, “I parted ways for a particular cause, and it seems no one has had the courage yet to disclose this.

‘But it’s not my fault. The reason I left was not my fault,’ he added.

At 64 years old, he’s suggested the possibility of embarking on a goodbye tour with his former bandmates, however, no plans have been set in stone so far.
