Former Good Morning Britain presenter Piers Morgan recently sent his followers into a frenzy after releasing, via Instagram, a heartwarming family update. Morgan introduced his followers to a new addition in the Morgan family in the form of his great-niece, Matilda.
Never one to hold back on TV or social media, Piers posted this adorable photo from St. Tropez posing the new baby with his goddaughter and niece Gabby. The photo captured the tender moment between the TV star and the newest member of his family, who is also the first great-grandchild of Piers’ parents.
Piers sounded thrilled to have met Matilda, who was on her first holiday: “Welcome to the family, Matilda you little sweetheart! First meeting with my god-daughter Gabby’s first child, and my parents’ first great-grandchild, on her first holiday.” He added the caption with a light touch: “She may look a tad underwhelmed by my presence at the moment, but I’ll put it down to the jet-lag.”
The post didn’t waste any time raking in attention on the Instagram platform, as fans commented congratulatory messages and a little bit of confusion. Some followers misunderstood the relationship. “Granddaughter? She’s gorgeous,” asked one. Another added, “Goddaughter or granddaughter?” “It’s his goddaughter’s baby,” explained another user. “I’m not sure but she must be related too if it’s the parents’ great-grandchild. Confusing.”
The rest went to the comments to congratulate Piers and his other two children, as even one follower took the time to say, “Awwwww CONGRATULATIONS She Is Adorable.” Meanwhile, another shared excitement with, “Awwww what a cute baby.”
Piers’ declaration of becoming a great-uncle added yet another layer to the public’s perception of this figure often filled with controversy, while softening the edges of a man known for his bold opinions. The tender family moment playing out online underlined how seriously family featured in his life and offered followers a glimpse into a world the journalist keeps away from the limelight.
It’s a timely reminder from Piers of the magic that comes with new life, especially when he is having great times in St. Tropez with his family.
