Welsh Sprinter Iwan Thomas Expands His Family
Strictly Come Dancing fans are delighted after discovering that Iwan Thomas has expanded his family. The 50-year-old Welsh sprinter recently shared a picture of his new baby along with his two other children on Instagram, describing them as ‘his world’ in the caption.
Welcoming Baby Bowie
Iwan has welcomed his son, named Bowie, with his long-term partner, whom he has chosen not to name publicly to keep his personal life private. The Olympic medalist first shared the news of his bundle of joy in February, alongside two adorable pictures of Bowie yawning.
Overwhelming Support
His loved ones and followers flooded the comments section with congratulatory messages, expressing their pleasant surprise. Dancing On Ice star Greg Rutherford was among the first to send his well wishes, exclaiming: ‘SO CUTE!!!!’
- Instagram user Kirsty Martin wrote: ‘Oh you’ve had another baby, so cute Congratulations 💙xx.’
- Tracey Barrie described Iwan as ‘blessed’, while Gilly Jane commented that he must be ‘so proud.’
A Dedicated Father
Iwan is already a dad to sons Teddy, five, and Dougie, two. Teddy, who was born premature, faced health challenges early on, but Iwan’s dedication and advocacy helped raise awareness of Group Strep B.
Life Beyond Strictly Come Dancing
Iwan appeared on Strictly Come Dancing in 2015 and was paired with professional dancer Ola Jordan. Despite being the first contestant to be eliminated, Iwan’s TV work includes Celebrity Hunted, The Wright Stuff, Through The Keyhole, and Celebrity MasterChef.
