Sian Welby Shares Motherhood Joys on 'This Morning'

In the past Bank Holliday episode of This Morning, the host Sian Welby brought her firstborn, Ruby, on the air. The little girl is the product of the relationship between Welby and Jake Beckett. The anchor always considered herself lucky and shared bits and pieces of her private life on the air and social media. On the ITV live broadcast, Welby’s co-host, Craig Doyle, referred to the infant as “the newest, tiniest, cutest member of the This Morning family!”. The host also admitted having felt anxious about leaving her baby to go to work and conveyed a touching story about Ruby waking her up at 6:30 am.

Social media reports that Welby often uses her Instagram account to share details of her job and family life. When posting trailers for her comeback to the ‘Capital Official’ breakfast show in early August, she mentioned that she was simultaneously getting ready and caring for her daughter. The touching pictures feature her feeding Ruby while applying makeup and making sure she looked good. Welby has also revealed the pains of being a pet parent and a devoted fan of the Weird Science actor, Kelly LeBrock.

The new mother basing her current career on openness and authenticity about motherhood resonates with other working women on social media. Only hours after the joyful broadcast, ‘ITV This Morning’ bragged about loving Ruby and taking the whole family in with open arms. Being able to hold a job while maintaining a family-loving persona is no wonder since Welby always took initiative and stands in the spotlight. Whether the young anchor goes back on the air and continues sharing her parenting experience, her take on the glass ceiling will influence other female public figures.
