Good Morning Britain presenter Alex Beresford has embarked on an exciting new chapter after he and his wife Imogen welcomed their first child together into the world. Announcing the news on Sunday, the 44-year-old gushed over their "little angel" as he revealed the sweet name they'd given their daughter. "After what felt like forever she's finally here! Camille Beresford arrived safely earlier this week and already has us wrapped around her little finger, already knows what she wants, and we both scream when the human milk machine powers down for a rare break," he wrote.
Alex also called his wife Imogen "amazing" and took the time to praise the "incredible" midwives and doctors who'd helped them along the way. He added: "The NHS is quite simply amazing! Over the last 9 months I saw staff from all over the world constantly going the extra mile. I can't thank you enough for keeping mum and baby safe xxxx #girldadgang #girldadenergy.". Having presented the GMB weather since 2014, many viewers at home will recognise Alex as being a familiar face on the screens. But as he heads on a whole new journey away from the camera, let’s take a closer look at his life and career so far….
On our screens, Alex made headlines in 2021 following an on air row on GMB with former host Piers Morgan. Following Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's interview with Oprah Winfrey, Alex challenged Piers for taking aim at the Duchess of Sussex. "I understand that you don't like Meghan Markle. You've made it so clear a number of times on this programme. I understand you've got a personal relationship with Meghan Markle or had one and she cut you off… she's entitled to cut you off if she wants to. Has she said anything about you since she cut you off? I don't think she has, but yet you continue to trash her," he said.
Eventually Piers walked off set before returning to continue presenting the show. However, the episode also marked the end of Piers' time on the show and he later announced he was leaving. Following the episode, Alex released a statement in which he addressed the situation. "I hoped we could reach a place of understanding. It's sad that we weren't able to get there, but challenging his opinion was not an outrage,” it read.
"On this occasion, we have to agree to disagree. I didn't want him to quit, but I did want him to listen. Personally, Piers has always supported my growth. He's given me advice on several occasions and for that I am grateful. I wish him well!". Back in 2020, it was revealed that Alex and his wife Natalia, with whom he shares son Crux, had called time on their relationship. Their pair had split in 2019, though initially continued living together while they navigated the separation.
During an appearance on the Britain Get Talking podcast, the weather presenter opened up on the split. It was here that he explained how walking away was "the best thing" to do in their situation. "As we kind of moved into the summer, myself and Natalia decided we were going to part ways, which, you know me - I'm not a quitter, and I hate quitting things," he said. "We tried to work through things, but at some point you realise the best thing to do for everybody is walk away, but walking away is never easy. We were in the same house up until the beginning of this year, knowing that we were parting ways, it takes a while to figure things out.".
In August 2020, Alex met his now-wife Imogen after being set up on a blind date. Two years later the pair got married in 2022 during a romantic ceremony at the Son Marroig estate in Majorca at the Son Marroig. For the special occasion, the TV star's son Cruz was a ring bearer and Alex has described the day as being something out of a film. "I was blown away by the beauty of it all. One of my cousins said it was like being in a movie and it really was," he told Hello magazine. "It was incredible from start to finish. But most importantly, it was where I was marrying the woman I love.".
With Alex and Imogen's wedding coinciding with the funeral of the late Queen Elizabeth II, Alex has previously discussed the added layers that came with the day. Reflecting on the logistics in a post on X, he wrote: "This time last year I sat pensively beside my son in the corner of a small cafe in the little village of Deia, trying to take in the late Queen's funeral on a tiny tv mounted close to the ceiling, whilst deep in thought about the day ahead - our wedding.".
