Former 'Teletubbies' Sun Baby Welcomes Child Of Her Own And We're All Feeling Old
HuffPost
Jessica Smith is cherishing her latest role as mom, but also made an entire generation of millennials extremely aware of their age.
The “Teletubbies” Sun Baby has become a mom and welcomed a baby of her own.
Audiences might remember Jessica Smith from the popular children’s series as the laughing infant at the center of the sun. Smith first shared the news of her daughter’s birth in January, but has since made millions of millennials feel incredibly old with her social media updates.
“Wow, time really does fly by quickly,” wrote one user on X Friday. “I’m starting to feel like I’m getting older, even though I’m only in my thirties. Anyway, it’s interesting if they created a new rendition of the Teletubbies … featuring her baby girl as the adorable sun.”
Smith and her partner Ricky Latham welcomed Poppy Rae Latham in early January. The former child star posted the first image of her daughter on Jan. 15, in which Poppy grabs her finger, celebrating “one whole week” with her.
She has since shared nearly a dozen more images that chronicle her adjustment to life as a mom, replete with hashtags including #babycuddles, #newparents and #tummytime. Smith, who starred in all 365 episodes of the “Teletubbies,” announced her pregnancy in October.
