Stuart Hogg’s Girlfriend Celebrates Birth of Baby Boy
Stuart Hogg, the former Scotland rugby captain, is in the spotlight once again as his girlfriend, Leonna Mayor, recently announced the birth of their baby boy. This news comes just weeks after Hogg avoided jail time for a domestic abuse conviction. Hogg, who plays as a full-back for Montpellier, admitted to a charge of domestic abuse against his estranged wife, Gillian, following a five-year period of abusive behavior towards her. His actions included shouting, swearing, tracking her movements, and sending alarming messages.
In January, Hogg was sentenced to a community payback order and placed under supervision for a year, in addition to a non-harassment order. This came after he had already been prohibited from contacting his wife for breaching bail conditions. The 32-year-old parted ways with Gillian in 2023 and went public with his relationship with Leonna Mayor shortly after his ex-wife gave birth to their fourth child. Now, Hogg and Mayor are celebrating the arrival of their first child together, a baby boy named Teddy.
Mayor took to social media to share the happy news and express gratitude for the well-wishes and support they have received. She described Teddy as a “beautiful perfect bundle” born prematurely at just 4lb 6oz. The new parents have been overwhelmed by the love and care from the hospital staff during this time. Mayor jokingly apologised in advance for the flood of baby pictures that will inevitably follow, expressing her joy at the experience of becoming a parent for the first time.
The announcement of Hogg’s new addition to the family comes amidst growing calls for him to be stripped of the MBE he received in the 2024 New Year Honours list. The SNP’s Commons group leader, Stephen Flynn, has demanded that the honour be revoked, stating that the matter is under formal review. Despite the controversy surrounding him, Hogg and Mayor are focusing on their new journey as parents and enjoying the precious moments with their newborn son.
The news of their growing family has sparked both support and scrutiny from the public, as the couple navigates the challenges ahead. With Hogg’s past actions casting a shadow over his personal life, the arrival of baby Teddy brings a newfound sense of hope and joy. As they embark on this chapter together, Hogg and Mayor are determined to create a loving and nurturing environment for their child, despite the obstacles they may face.
In the world of rugby, Hogg’s personal life has often overshadowed his achievements on the field. However, as he embraces fatherhood once more, there is a chance for redemption and growth beyond the mistakes of the past. The journey towards healing and reconciliation will not be easy, but with the love and support of their family and friends, Hogg and Mayor are ready to face the future with hope and optimism.
