It emerged last month that the model, 20, is preparing to welcome his first child with his ex-girlfriend. On Friday, Freddy took to Instagram to share his excitement about becoming a first-time dad.
Sharing a snap of the scenery in London’s Canary Wharf, he added the caption: “I’m actually a DILF to be!!” He then filmed a short clip of himself walking across a bridge and quipped: “I am actually a DILF to be.”
In the rather unusual way of announcing a baby, Freddy used the slang word DILF, which stands for ‘Dad I’d Like to F***’.

The heartfelt video saw Freddy honour of all the ‘riches’ in his life as he penned: “My Riches, my happiness, and my reasons to keep on growing.” In the video, Freddy shared photos of his beloved dog Paolo, “my beautiful baby mother to be”, while also dedicating a spot for food as he shared that his love of food keeps him going.
Freddy went on to share another picture of his girlfriend with his beloved pet pooch as he captioned it “my little family so far.” The reality TV star also dedicated a spot to his “amazing father” Jeff who is said to be helping him navigate becoming a first-time dad.

In another video, Freddy shared several pictures of his beloved pet pooch alongside the caption: “Can’t wait to be a Dad. To love my child like I love dogs, dogs are my everything without Pablo I don’t know where I’d be.
“I bought him at a very low point in my life and I’ve been working on myself since I heard I’m going to be a father. I can’t wait for this chapter to start, fatherhood is going to be beautiful.”
It comes after Jeff was said to have wanted to help Freddy in any way he can after reconnecting with each other.

Their relationship became strained when Freddy, who is Jeff and the late Jade Goody’s youngest son, went to live with his maternal grandmother Jackiey Budden. Freddy claimed she got him “hooked on drugs” when he was just 12-years-old, with Jeff turning to legal support to stop them from seeing each other.

In recent weeks, the father and son appeared to be back on track, and the baby news is said to have played a key role.
A pal of Freddy’s said that Jeff has been a huge support to Freddy and the news has brought them closer together. The source told The Sun: “it has blindsided him and has been one of the things that has really brought him and his dad back together, but it’s so devastating that Jade isn’t here to see it.
“Jeff was one of the first people he decide to confide in to ask for advice, and he stepped up straight away and wanted to help in any way he could,” the insider added.

Freddy recently opened up about his love life as he confessed he gets “nervous” when it comes to chatting up girls in public. He prefers to initiate conversations with girls on social media platforms like Instagram or TikTok before meeting them face-to-face.
In a new interview, he opened up about his love life and his nerves when it comes to dating women. Freddy admitted: “I’m actually quite nervous about chatting to girls on the street or in public. If I’m going to do it, I’ll arrange something through Instagram or TikTok.”

The model also revealed that he tends to get “shy” when girls compliment him. “If a girl gives me a compliment, I do get a bit shy, and I do get a bit red,” he told Loaded magazine.
Freddy was just four years old when his mother, media personality Jade Goody, tragically passed away from cervical cancer in 2009 at the age of 27.
He confessed that he’s “still” grappling with the loss of his much-loved mother. He explained: “I’m still processing it now, to be honest. I only really started processing it in my late teens because when she passed, I was obviously too young.”

Freddy also admitted that he used to avoid conversations about his mum. The star, who participated in BBC’s Celebrity Race Across the World with his dad Jeff in 2024, added: “I feel that as much as she was spoken about in every household I was in, I never used to think about it.
“I’d always just shut down if someone was like, ‘Oh, your mum was lovely,’ or ‘I watched your mum,’ or whatever. I’d just be like, ‘Oh yeah, nice, alright,’ and then I’d just walk off,” he added.
“I feel like I’ve only just started to really deal with it, more so recently after [Celebrity] Race Across the World, actually, where I learned to give my feelings and thoughts their own time.”
