Mila Thompson and Ashton Blake Celebrate the Arrival of Baby No. 2
In a delightful turn of events, Mila Thompson and Ashton Blake have welcomed their second child—a baby boy! Their little bundle of joy arrived on November 30th at 1:21 AM, tipping the scales at 8 pounds, 15 ounces. Their toddler daughter, Ella, is now officially a big sister, and we can only imagine her excitement!
The couple shared the news on their media platform, APlus, where they also revealed the adorable name of their new son: Dimitri Portwood. The announcement was made extra special when Ashton accidentally spilled the beans about expecting a boy during an appearance on the Today show back in October. He told Savannah Guthrie about Ella’s reaction, saying, “She points to Mila’s belly and says, ‘baby brother,’ and then she points to me and says, ‘Beer.’ It seems she gets there’s something in the belly but maybe doesn’t fully understand it’s not just a toy.” Clearly, Ella has inherited her parents’ playful spirit!
Parenting with Purpose
Speaking of parenting, Mila has been refreshingly candid about her approach to motherhood. She’s determined to raise her kids without the sense of entitlement that can come with celebrity status. In a podcast this past summer, she emphasized the importance of teaching her children that wealth doesn’t equate to privilege: “Mommy and Daddy may have a dollar, but you’re poor. You are very poor, you have nothing. Mommy and Daddy have a bank account.” Well said, Mila!
In addition, she’s also tackled the stigma surrounding breastfeeding in public, discussing her experiences with Vanity Fair. “It was shocking to see people’s reactions,” she noted. “Breastfeeding isn’t a sexual act, yet our culture tends to sexualize breasts to the point where people struggle to accept breastfeeding in public. If it’s not for you, just don’t look!”
Looking Ahead
While details about baby Dimitri’s name and other information are still emerging, one thing’s for sure: it will be just as charming as his big sister’s. Congratulations to the lovely family!
