Frankie Essex reveals twins' X-Men inspired names after dramatic C-section birth

Frankie Essex has shown off her newborn twins for the first time - and revealed their marvellous names.

The Only Way Is Essex star, 34, gave birth to her son and daughter on May 24 with her partner Luke Luv, 32, by her side.

Fans have been dying to find out what the adorable couple have called the tiny tots and now the wait is over.

“Our son is called Logan and weighed 5lb 4oz, and our daughter is Luella and weighed 4lb 8oz," Frankie revealed.

"Luella has always been my girl name since I was 20 – I’ve never told anyone the name in case they stole it.

"Luke chose Logan’s name as he loves the [X-Men] character Wolverine, who’s called Logan.

"They both mean warrior, but we only found that out recently,” she told OK!

Sharing a sneak peak of the bundles of joy, Frankie looks glowing wearing a sleeveless blue and white polka dot dress in adorable snaps.

Frankie and Luke have been together since 2019 and the reality star admits she was 'shocked' when she found out she was pregnant with twins.

The new mum opted to have a selective C-section at the birth and shed light on the lead up to the twin's delivery, revealing Ed Sheeran was playing in the car because the 'babies like it'.

The star also opted to have a pre-baby blow dry up, admitting she also discussed fake tan tips with the midwife.

After the twins were safely delivered, Luke explained their mum had a bit of panic attack after "losing a bit of blood," however after he 'calmed her down', all was thankfully "fine" again.

As the family settle into their routine, Frankie admitted she and Luke were both "incredibly tired" as they're sleeping in 90 minute cycles.

However all the hard work is worth the effort as she gushed about the twin's personalities.

The star explained they were already "so different" with Luella slightly "sassy" and Logan more "chill".

Frankie's famous family naturally couldn't wait to meet the newest members of the Essex family.

The star revealed her brother Joey cried when he saw the twins and Nanny Linda, Chloe Sims and her daughter Madison have all been introduced.

There's also a secret godparent, who Frankie said she couldn't reveal just yet.

Of course one person who sadly can't meet the twins is Joey and Frankie's mum, Tina, who tragically died in 2021.

Frankie revealed she misses her mother more than ever, but believes she is 'there in sprit' and feels 'blessed' to have her family.
