Channel 4 star Levison Wood has secretly welcomed his first child with girlfriend Ana Protasio, sharing the joyful news with fans on Instagram. The couple, who went Instagram official just this summer, have revealed the birth of their daughter, Maya Katharine Lima Wood, born in August.
Proud mum Ana posted a series of heartwarming photos of their newborn, including a shot of the baby sleeping on a blanket embroidered with her name. “Maya Katharine Lima Wood 07/08. For a few days I have been holding my world in my arms! What a magical moment, no word in any language or dialect would be able to describe what it is to be your Mother. I love you, daughter!” she wrote.
Fans flooded the post with congratulations, with many sending their well wishes to the new family. One fan commented, “Massive congratulations to you both! I wish you a lifetime of happiness and beautiful new adventures as a trio!” Another added, “Congratulations! Such lovely news!”
Levison and Ana first shared their pregnancy news in June, just a week after going public with their relationship. Levison posted a sweet message to Ana for her birthday, which also revealed their baby news. “Happy birthday to this wonderful human being! (And yep we’re having a baby, not just a big lunch),” he wrote.
The couple’s relationship has certainly blossomed, with Levison expressing his excitement about their shared path together. “Over the years, I’ve met many people on the road, but every now and then, someone comes along who doesn’t just travel with you, but changes the pace of the journey entirely. This is Ana. We’ve been exploring a shared path together lately, one filled with plenty of adventures, challenges, and commitment. An exciting new chapter awaits.”
Levison, a former army officer, has had his fair share of adventures and dating offers over the years, especially since gaining fame with his Channel 4 shows. In 2023, he humorously shared a story about a woman in Namibia who initiated him into a tribe with a quirky tradition.
Ana’s Instagram post marks the beginning of their new journey as parents, with the couple looking forward to a future full of new experiences and their growing family.
