Paige Thorne Shares Postpartum Update 17 Days After Welcoming Son

Reality television personality Paige Thorne has shared a glimpse of her postpartum body just 17 days after welcoming her first child, a baby boy named Fateley. Thorne posted a series of mirror selfies on Instagram on Wednesday, in which she is seen in unbuttoned jeans and an asymmetric white top.

"Postpartum 17 days the most I've been dressed up in a long time," Thorne wrote in the caption, playfully acknowledging that her socks might be detracting from the overall aesthetic. She also shared a heartwarming caption about her newborn: "Fateley Hayes Wedlake, we never knew a love like this existed."

Thorne, 29, and her boxer boyfriend, Drew Wedlake, welcomed their son at the end of last month. The couple announced the birth on social media, sharing photos of the newborn. Thorne's former 'Love Island' co-stars sent their congratulations in the comments section, with Andrew Le Page writing "Congratulations" and Dami Hope adding "YAAAAAY what a beautiful baby boy."

Thorne and Wedlake made their relationship Instagram official in July of the previous year, and Thorne later revealed she had relocated to Bristol after three months together. Earlier in her pregnancy, Thorne had shared updates on her symptoms, including Braxton Hicks, stomach tenderness, and backache. She also admitted to experiencing anxiety about labor despite feeling calm throughout her pregnancy.

The couple revealed they were expecting a boy in a June Instagram video, which showed Thorne's boyfriend Drew wearing a cap that read "best dad." Thorne expressed her excitement about welcoming their son, writing that they could not wait to watch him grow and give him the happiest life possible.

During her pregnancy, Thorne had previously expressed her positive feelings about her changing body. At 24 weeks pregnant, she shared a photo in a pink swimsuit, stating she was "loving how my body is changing to grow this little baby" and felt "confident and empowered."
