I’m glad they were able to have a healthy baby. Just a note, according to the BBC & Wikipedia, Jennifer was born on 28 December, not 21 December.

Unfortunately for me, I have met the man in question, and he is a horrible petty egomaniacal little man who delights in picking on people over extensive periods of time in the most horrible ways for such offenses as wasting his time or bringing him the wrong kind of cake with his tea.
