Tessa James reveals baby "born months ago"
<p>In a time where broadcasting every event on our lives on social media for the world to see is the norm, it might seem strange for a celebrity to keep the birth of their child a secret, but one former Home and Away star has done exactly that.</p>
<p>Tessa James posted the first photo of her new bub with her partner, former NRL star Nate Myles, last Friday, which was surprising to fans who didn’t realise she was pregnant.</p>

<p>While she’s keeping the baby’s name and gender secret for the moment, James says the little bub is going well and the experience has been a special, wonderful time.</p>
<p>“(Motherhood) is incredible. I’m just so happy. It’s the biggest thing I’ve ever done and it’s extremely rewarding and I feel really proud of Nate and I,” she <a href="https://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/entertainment/sydney-confidential" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em><strong>told Sydney Confidential</strong></em></span></a>.</p>
<p>“It’s empowering.”</p>
<p>James, who was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma at age 23, is reportedly doing everything they can to keep this time of the baby’s life out of the public’s prying eyes.</p>
<p>“It’s something we’ve decided to do. The world is the way it is, you can’t keep everything to yourself but while I can, I will,” she said.</p>
<p>What are your thoughts?</p>
