Exclusive! Noelle Reno introduces her baby son, Xander Maximilian Perks
It's been a whirlwind year for Ladies of London star Noelle Reno, 33, who discovered she was pregnant just four months after she began dating hedge fund manager Nick Perks. The former model has introduced her newborn son, Xander Maximilian Perks, for the first time in HELLO! Magazine.
"It still feels a bit surreal," she says. Friends say to her "You got the guy, fell in love, got the baby and how here you are. How did you do that?" Nick, whom she met through mutual friends in Ibiza in 2015, chose their son's name. "Nick is very alpha male so he was like, 'My firstborn son has to have a superhero ruler-of-the-world, saviour-of-the-free-people kind of name.' But after I threw out all options like Gladiator and I don't even know what else, we ended up with Xander, which is from Lysander in Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream."
Her relationship with Nick blossomed after a traumatic period: in 2014 her then ex-fiancé Scot Young fell to his death from the balcony of the London penthouse they had once shared. Her rocky relationship with him played out on Ladies of London, where she became close to another of the show's stars, Caprice.
"She's like a sister to me. That friendship was the best thing that came out of Ladies of London."
Noelle and Nick had a long-distance relationship during her pregnancy – she was in LA where she has launched a livestream home-shopping business and he was in London. She gave birth in the UCLA Medical Center Santa Monica, but the new family have now moved into a home in Battersea.
"I thought I'd have one baby and be done, but within an hour or two fo the birth I was like, ‘We have to have three more.' Maybe it was the drugs! Now, I think four might be a bit much. But there's nothing like that love that you feel.”
