PROUDLY PRESENTING...

Thirty-five years after she made her debut as a baby in the pages of HELLO!, Amber Le Bon is having a full-circle moment as she introduces her own precious first-born to the world.

Cradling their gorgeous son, Sasha Echo Le Bon Mercer, the model and DJ cuddles up to boyfriend Ben Mercer as they join us for this exclusive interview and photoshoot at the Cotswolds getaway of Amber's parents, Simon and Yasmin.

“I love looking back at those photos with Mama and Daddy and I wanted Sasha to have something like that,” Amber tells us. “It’s like a lovely snapshot of our little family and it feels like we’ve gone full circle and closed the loop.”

With his shock of dark hair and bright blue eyes, little Sasha seems completely unfazed as the HELLO! team buzz around him and, when he's not looking inquisitively at his surroundings, he's snoozing on Amber's chest.

“I’m just so obsessed with him,” she says. “I keep looking at him and think: ‘How on Earth am I ever going do anything ever again? And all I want to do is cuddle you and smell you.’”

BABY LOVE

Sasha was born on 30 January, weighing 7lb 6oz, at London’s Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, where Ben and Yasmin were at Amber’s side after a 40-hour labour.

“I couldn’t have done it without both of them there; they were amazing,” she says. “Ben was absolutely brilliant, and Mama was there to help, because I think it is quite exhausting and traumatic seeing someone you love in pain like that.

“I put a thunderstorm on the speaker, and I was chatting and laughing with the midwives, having a really lovely time. And then the last ten minutes got a bit hairy, and I was whipped over to the labour ward for a forceps delivery, because Sasha was quite tired by then.
