Ex On The Beach star welcomes first child and reveals baby boy’s very unusual name

Sam Reece has welcomed his first child with his fiancée Maddison. 

32-year-old celebrity from Ex On The Beach announced the joyous news via Instagram on Thursday, also disclosing an exceptionally unique name for his newborn son.

He shared a charming, black-and-white picture on social media, depicting him and his companion cradling their newly born child’s tiny hand, to officially announce its arrival.

Sam wrote: ‘Indi Seven Eckhardt. 28th May 2025 3:43am.  

Our hearts have been irrevocably transformed – we brought our flawless child into existence in a tranquil, dreamlike manner.

Sam went on to say: “The wonder of childbirth is truly enchanting. A woman’s physique, generating new life… it’s incredibly potent, primal, and simply astonishing. It fills us with love.

In 2016, I, a devoted fan, found myself making tabloid headlines after an unforgettable ordeal: watching my former partner, Stephanie Davis, betray me publicly with Jeremy McConnell, all unfolding on Celebrity Big Brother.

After overcoming his broken heart, the reality television personality persisted in sharing his unsuccessful relationships on various shows like Ex on the Beach and The Real Housewives of Cheshire.

Yet, he’s currently in a loving relationship with Maddison, as they publicly announced their engagement towards the end of last year.

On Instagram, he posted a picture of a diamond ring on his future wife’s finger with the caption: ‘What an extraordinary day!’

In 2016, Sam had been with Stephanie for more than a year. That same year, the 23-year-old actress joined the Celebrity Big Brother house.

He was forced to watch as she cheated on him with another man, watched by the whole nation.

Sam told TopMob at the time: ‘What’s happened has happened, but good luck to them both.’ 

After sending a brief audition video to ITV producers, the model eventually landed a part on Emmerdale. This opportunity arose as a result of his submission.

Sam shared that his appearance on the soap opera was entirely unanticipated. He disclosed this without having a talent agent to represent him.

He informed TopMob, “I hadn’t spoken on television prior to this. My modeling representative contacted me and proposed that I submit a casting video for a role in Emmerdale, which they believed would be suitable for me.

Sam has now traded the limelight for a quieter life working as a model and a hairdresser.
