Disgraced Scots rugby star Stuart Hogg beamed with pride as he left hospital with his fifth child yesterday.
His new partner, TV presenter and former jockey Leonna Mayor, gave birth to their first child earlier this month.
The baby was born prematurely and after a short stay in hospital they were finally allowed home.
She wrote: ‘A beautiful perfect bundle on 12/2/2025 at just 4lb 6oz.
‘I’ve been in a baby bubble for a week and we’ve been closely monitored and wonderfully cared for by the midwifes here in Saint Roch hospital.
‘He’s feeding like a trooper and was allowed home on Wednesday.’
The news of the birth came mere weeks after Hogg was spared jail for domestic abuse against his wife Gillian.
He was sentenced on January 9 at Selkirk Sheriff Court after he pleaded guilty to a single charge of domestic abuse in November.

Hogg avoided jail but was given a Community Payback Order – meaning he will be supervised for one year – as an alternative to jail for the charge.
A £600 fine and a five-year non-harassment order was also imposed, preventing him from contacting his ex-partner.
The rugby player was described as being ‘angry’ and ‘controlling’ during the relationship, and left Gillian scared by his behaviour when he had been drinking.
Dr Marsha Scott, chief executive of Scottish Women’s Aid, called the sentence ‘trivial’ and said Hogg allegedly subjected his former partner to a ‘regime of terror for five years.’
The pair tied the knot in 2016 but split up in November 2023 and his new romance came to light just days after his estranged wife gave birth to their fourth child.
Hogg, a former Glasgow Warriors – now playing in France with Montpellier – amassed 100 caps for his country before his abrupt retirement in July two years ago.
He was awarded an MBE in the 2024 New Year’s Honours but calls have been made to have him stripped of the state honour.
