Amber Le Bon gives birth to her first child! Model, 35, welcomes a baby boy with boyfriend Ben Mercer as she reveals her son's name


The 35-year-old model - who is the daughter of Duran Duran frontman Simon Le Bon and his wife Yasmin - and her boyfriend Ben Mercer welcomed son Sasha.

Amber spent 40 hours in labour with Sasha - who weighed 7lbs 6oz - and was grateful to have both Ben and her mother by her side at London's Chelsea and Westminster Hospital. And then the last 10 minutes got a bit hairy, and I was whipped over to the labour ward for a forceps delivery, because Sasha was quite tired by then. 'I was quite big and pregnant at that point, and I wore sparkly dresses to all the shows and looked like a little disco ball, so we ended up calling the bump 'Sparkles', which was Sasha's name until he was born.
