His post, which already has over 12,000 likes, read: "What will happen to my relationship with Leo, will he be jealous of the new baby, what if they don't get along?
"Will the dynamic in the family change and will I be okay with a toddler and a newborn, is there enough time in the day knowing how hard having a newborn is? You have a child whom you know intimately and love with a deep, almost primal love. And it's a worry that you don't have any more love to give in a sort of way, like how possibly could I love someone as much as I already love Leo.
"I don't know if I'm being silly or these are normal feelings but one thing I know is I will try be the best dad ever to all my kids. And I can't blooming wait for little one to come along and all these worries melt away."
His followers flooded the comments section with messages of support and reassurance. One fan wrote: "A parent's love never has to be divided. It simply multiplies." Another echoed: "This is absolutely normal, I have these exact thoughts if we had another."
Sophie and Jake appear to have mastered the art of juggling work and family life. Earlier this month, they embarked on an "unforgettable" journey to Abu Dhabi and flew to Italy for a wedding. They frequently share snippets of their daily lives as parents, from hilarious TikTok challenges to heartfelt moments, much to the delight of their fans.
