Freddy Brazier has shared a moving tribute to his three-month-old daughter, Isla Jade, revealing he sees his late mother, reality television star Jade Goody, in the baby’s features. The 21-year-old influencer and his ex-girlfriend, Holly Swinburn, 22, welcomed their first child in March 2026 .

Brazier, who was just four years old when his mother passed away from cervical cancer on Mother’s Day in 2009, said he finds fatherhood transformative . "I'm loving being a dad. Fatherhood is beautiful," he told the press. "The baby looks like all of us. I see me in her, I see my mum in her, which is beautiful. I love looking at her and seeing my mum" .

The couple chose the middle name Jade as a poignant tribute to the Big Brother star. Freddy had previously expressed that he wanted to honor his mother's memory while ensuring his daughter could establish her own identity. He stated that using Jade as a first name felt like too much pressure for the child . His father, Jeff Brazier, celebrated the birth on social media, welcoming his first grandchild and calling her "the greatest gift" .

Freddy’s emotional revelation follows earlier comments about the difficulty of Mother's Day, a date that carries deep personal significance for the family as it marks the anniversary of Jade Goody’s death . He has admitted to visiting his mother’s grave to confide in her about his journey into parenthood . He shared that he sometimes struggles talking to a headstone but finds comfort in it .

Meanwhile, Jeff Brazier has opened up about his own emotional journey, acknowledging that he often put on a brave face while raising his two sons, Freddy and his brother Bobby, 23, as a single father following the loss of Jade . He reflected on the emotional balancing act of experiencing grief and joy simultaneously as the family welcomed the new baby around the anniversary of his late partner’s passing .

The arrival of Isla Jade marks a new chapter for the Brazier family, bringing a sense of hope and joy. Freddy is embracing his new role, and the family has noted that the baby has brought everyone together .
