Sophia Peschisolido welcomes second son with fiancé Frankie Makin

Sophia Peschisolido, a 28-year-old influencer and daughter of Karren Brady, has welcomed her second child with fiancé Frankie Makin. The newborn is a son, and the couple announced the arrival on Friday via Instagram, sharing a candid family photo in which the baby sleeps in a striped hat and writing 'Family of 4 complete.'

Peschisolido did not reveal the baby’s name. In a separate post, she wrote: "Not an easy ride but officially a mommy to 2." The couple are already parents to a son whose name has not been disclosed. Frankie also shared a hospital shot, documenting Sophia heading into the venue with her pillow ahead of the birth.

The couple’s public posts chart the pregnancy and birth: Sophia announced she was expecting a second child in April, sharing a video of herself and Frankie on a Dubai beach with her baby bump and the caption, "Coming soon… baby #2." In August, she appeared in a white, figure-hugging dress during a summer holiday with her parents, showcasing her growing bump and a sparkling engagement ring. The engagement was publicly confirmed in 2022 with a gallery of photos from a beach proposal in Mykonos, Greece.

Karren Brady has spoken publicly about becoming a grandmother, praising her daughter as a natural mother and noting that both mother and baby were doing well. Her remarks came earlier this year on The Apprentice You're Hired.

Sophia’s first child, a son, was born in late March 2024—roughly one week before Brady’s 55th birthday—adding to the family’s expanding story. The family has kept the newborn’s name private to date, in line with prior disclosures about the first child.

The new arrival follows a public arc tracing Sophia’s role as an influencer and public figure, with the family sharing moments of growth and celebration across social media. The couple confirmed their engagement in 2022 and have since shared milestones from their life together on the sea-facing shores of Mykonos to the beaches of Dubai, illustrating a modern, high-profile family narrative within the Culture & Entertainment landscape.
