Sam Branson has welcomed a baby son with wife Isabella

Sam and Isabella - the older sister of Cressida Bonas - welcomed their first child together in February 2015, two years after the pair tied the knot in South Africa, in a romantic ceremony held at Sir Richard's private game reserve.

Shortly after Sam became a first-time dad, he shared a heartfelt post written for the official Virgin website, writing: "It's strange looking at something that you know is the most important thing in the world to you but you haven't even touched them yet. It took that skin on skin for me to really connect with her and from that moment I have fallen more and more in love with her each second."
