James Middleton has made a rare comment about his baby son Inigo, revealing one of his tot’s adorable new habits.
During an appearance on Love Your Weekend with Alan Titchmarsh, the father-of-one spoke about his family life and sweetly revealed how his little boy, whom he shares with his wife Alizee Thevenet, has grown an appreciation for tennis balls.

He continued: “It’s really wonderful because the dogs have really welcomed him.”
Elsewhere during the TV segment, James shared a glimpse inside some of Inigo’s latest milestones. Reflecting on his first birthday, the entrepreneur revealed that his son is now starting to walk.
“He’s been on all fours, and now he’s walking,” he said. “He gets stability by holding on to the back of a dog, and basically they start walking and he doesn’t really have a choice, so he starts walking.”

Despite running busy lives with their one-year-old, six dogs, sheep, ducks and chickens, James and Alizee haven’t ruled out the possibility of welcoming a second child.

James has recently been made a Dogs Trust ambassador, so when the timing is right, he also plans to “welcome many a rescue dog” to his pack.

“It unlocks something in your heart that you didn’t know was there.”
