Ms Fensome and Mr Innes’ relationship began when they met at a family gathering where the latter performed as a guitarist in Shane Nolan’s band.
Their romance culminated in an engagement during a Vietnamese holiday, with Mr Innes proposing during a late-night boat excursion.
Mr Fensome shared the engagement news on social media, describing the proposal as “like a fairytale” and expressing her eagerness to “spend forever” with her partner.
Meanwhile, 60-year-old television presenter Ms Nolan initially harboured concerns about her daughter dating a musician, having divorced Ms Fensome’s father, Ray Fensome, in 2018.
However, Ms Nolan later acknowledged that Mr Innes proved to be “absolutely brilliant”, dispelling her initial reservations about the relationship.
Baby Sidney joins two existing grandchildren in the Nolan family household. Ms Nolan’s eldest son, Shane Jr, welcomed daughter Amelia in 2016, whilst her younger son Jake became a father to a son in November 2024.
The Loose Women regular expressed overwhelming emotions upon meeting her newest grandchild. “I’m almost lost for words (yes, I know totally not the usual me) and I can barely describe the unbelievable range of emotions I’m feeling right now – love, pride, relief, happiness, to name a few,” she wrote on social media.
She praised the new parents, stating: “You and Max are already taking to parenting like ducks to water, and I know you are both going to be the best mum and dad to Sid.” (sic)
