As a lifestyle expert with years of experience under my belt, I must say that witnessing the joy and transformation in Mike Hassini‘s life is truly heartwarming. After serving his time and facing adversity, he has now entered a new chapter as a father – a role that brings immense responsibility and unparalleled happiness.


Mike Hassini recently became a father for the first time, welcoming a child with his partner Jessica Milford, approximately a year since his release from prison, where he served a two-year term for distributing cocaine.

Previously recognized TOWIE personality, aged 29, delightfully shared the wonderful news on Instagram last Sunday by posting several charming, monochrome images.

They posted a picture of their newborn daughter napping, wrapped up in a ‘Hassini for babies’ blanket adorned with teddy bears.

In a different snapshot, father Mike exited the maternity ward doors while holding his newborn daughter in her bassinet.

In the caption, Mike and Jessica unveiled their baby girl’s delightful name, stating: ‘Meet Orla Florence Hassini. Born on October 10th, 2024 at 8:52 am, she weighed 6 pounds and 6 ounces.’

They continued: ‘A love beyond belief—our hearts are so full. You’ve changed our world, baby girl.’

TopMob revealed that Mike and his girlfriend Jessica were expecting their first child in June.

Displaying Polaroid snapshots showing him cradling Jessica’s expanding belly while gazing tenderly at her, they eventually revealed their joyful news through an Instagram post.

Nine months ago, they shared their exciting news – this happy moment arrived shortly after Mike completed his two-year stint in prison as part of a seven-year term for distributing cocaine.

Come September 2023, I found myself celebrating my birthday with Mike for the first time in two long years. In those years, I chose to stand by his side throughout his period of confinement.

In the year 2021, it was discovered that Mike, previously known for his role in the ITVBe series from 2015 to 2018, had been found in possession of approximately £70,000 worth of Class A drugs.

A source told TopMob: ‘Becoming a father is everything Mike has ever wanted.

As an ardent enthusiast, I can hardly contain my excitement because family, above all else, holds immense significance in my life. The realization that we’re about to welcome a new addition into our fold – a baby – is not just a dream come true for me, but for Jessica too. This moment feels monumental, like it’s shaping the world around us.

Incarceration profoundly shifted his viewpoint on life and his aspirations. He recognizes the fortune of getting a second opportunity, and he deeply appreciates Jessica for standing by him during all challenges they faced together.

On Instagram, Jessica titled their pregnancy reveal as “After every storm, there’s a rainbow… You two are indeed our heart’s wish fulfilled.

‘We are so excited for our new chapter as a mum and dad… Our happy ever after.’

A number of stars from the show “The Only Way Is Essex” (TOWIE) extended their congratulations to Mike following the announcement of his baby news. Among them were Ella Rae Wise and Georgia Kousoulou.

In 2021, I was taken into custody following the discovery of approximately £70,000 worth of cocaine in my possession. Subsequently, I acknowledged my involvement in a conspiracy to distribute a Class A drug, as well as possessing cocaine with the intent to supply and holding criminal property.

It turned out that Jessica wasn’t part of the drug dealing operation, so she was freed from arrest suspicions.

He got a prison term of six years and nine months, but ended up serving just two years. He was freed in September of last year.

Womaniser Mike famously claimed to have slept with more than 100 women before featuring on TOWIE.

While appearing on the program, he had relationships with Chloe Meadows, Zoe Hamilton, and ex-Love Island participant Malin Andersson.

Initially, he appeared on TOWIE together with his good friend Kate Ferdinand. However, in January 2017, he was let go from the show due to significant changes within the main cast.
