In February, just weeks on from announcing Rosie's pregnancy, Joe revealed his wife had been rushed to hospital. Expecting their fourth bundle of joy, Rosie, at 21 weeks pregnant, had to be rushed to hospital enduring crippling appendicitis. Fitness fanatic Joe shared the shocking revelation with fans by posting an intimate snap of Rosie's freshly bandaged stomach on social media,
The devoted husband captioned the image: "Rosie had to go into hospital last week to have her appendix out, She and the baby are all good, She's on the mend now." The candid snapshot showcased Rosie raising her pink jumper to reveal the confining bandages gracing her tummy, suggesting she underwent a laparoscopic appendectomy procedure which entails the removal of the inflamed appendix through small incisions.
Joe and Rosie, a former model, shared their exciting baby news at the start of the year, announcing Rosie's pregnancy to fans on social media in January. Joe, 38, excitedly took to Instagram to share the big news with his 4.7 million followers, writing: "Baby number 4 incoming #20weeks."
In the adorable snapshot, the couple stood by a picturesque lake, with Rosie showcasing her growing baby bump in a form-fitting outfit, while Joe lovingly wrapped his arm around her and their older daughter Leni. The post quickly garnered over 68,000 likes and was flooded with congratulatory messages from both fans and fellow celebrities.

Fitness guru Joe, known as The Body Coach, who became a household name with his lockdown workouts, and Rosie tied the knot in 2019 and were already proud parents to India, Marley, and baby Leni before welcoming their new bundle of joy into the world. Joe tends to keep his personal life under wraps, but he has shared insights into his family life before. He revealed his decision to homeschool his eldest daughter, India, stemmed from a desire to spend "more time" with his family.
When asked about the reasons behind homeschooling, Joe responded with a picture of India and explained: "There's really nothing more to the decision than we just love being together as a family and want to spend more with the kids while we can. She had a great year in reception but we have always loved teaching the kids at home and want the freedom to travel more and explore the world. She might go to school next year. We have no idea long term but want to do at least a year of home educating."
He also opened up about the challenges of adjusting to life with his new baby, Leni, which left him feeling "frustrated and stressed" Joe confessed to New magazine: "I'm used to getting eight hours. When I wake up and I've been woken up three or four times it really breaks your sleep," To cope with the stress, Joe emphasized the importance of physical activity: "I'm tired, I'm frustrated, I'' stressed when I wake up. My instant reaction is to move my body, to release it."
