Alessia Herren Announces Birth of Son, Keeps Name Private

Her Instagram update underscores a deliberate choice to protect her newborn’s privacy.

Overview

  • Herren, who disclosed the news Monday on Instagram, said her son arrived April 21 at 11:44 a.m.
  • She posted a black-and-white clip showing the baby with the hands of Herren, husband Can Nitkewitz, and daughter Anisa-Amalia, while the child’s face stayed hidden.
  • In a follow-up birth account, she described losing amniotic fluid, heading to the hospital around 4:30 a.m., receiving an epidural at 7, and experiencing stronger pain than during her first delivery.
  • The couple has not shared the baby’s name, and the announcement drew public congratulations from figures including Lilly Becker, Yeliz Koc, Giulia Siegel, Danni Büchner, and her brother Stefano.
  • Known from shows like I’m a Celebrity and Sommerhaus der Stars, Herren had scaled back posting late in pregnancy and says the April timing feels significant because it is the month her father died.
