Celebrity Chef Jamie Oliver has taken to Twitter to announce the birth of his third child with wife Jools, a daughter. The new baby, named Petal Blossom Rainbow Oliver was born at London’s Portland Hospital, at 2:46 a.m. and weighed in at 6lb. 10oz. the UK Sun has confirmed. Jools was actually due on April 1st, and was induced due to high blood-pressure.
A rep for the couple says, “Both [Petal] and Jools are doing well. The Olivers would like to thank midwives Linda Ordish and Elaine Porter and also obstetrician William Dennis for their wonderful help and support. Jamie and Jools are both completely smitten with Petal already, and Jamie is looking forward to two weeks paternity leave to spend quality time with his four beautiful girls.”
The couple, who already parents to Poppy Honey, 7 and Daisy Boo, 5 were spotted just days ago headed into a London doctors office.
Are you surprised that Jools had a girl?

Thanks Kat!
Wow….three girls! Congratulations to them…..still not really too fond of any of their daughters names!
Congrats Jamie, Jools, Poppy and Daisy on your new bundle of joy.
Not sure I am keen on the name Petal but at least their consistent when naming their daughters
Not surprised, since most people I know who have two children of the same sex and have a third have the same gender.
I love Poppy, like Daisy and am not a fan of Petal. I would have preferred another flower (like Daisy, Violet, Rose, Primrose, etc.)
