Xander is the couple's second child - they already have a daughter, Aaliyah Reign, who is two.

Jenkins, 37, explained that the baby, whose full name is 
Xander Robert Selwyn Levitas, has been given the middle names in memory of her father (Selwyn) who died when she was just 15, and her husband's father, Robert.

She added: 'His middle names honour our late fathers who live on in our little ‘Defender of Men’ (Meaning of Xander). 

Levitas, 40, is an American artist and filmmaker. He and Jenkins married in 2014.
