The married couple – who rose to internet fame for their outfit check videos during Jett referred to his wife as “Pookie” – announced they were expecting their first child together back in June. Now, Campbell has welcomed their daughter in a new video on Instagram.
“My angel has now given me another angel,” Jett said as he filmed Campbell holding their newborn in a hospital bed. “Daddy’s got two angels: Pookie and mini-Pookie.”
The post’s caption reads: “She’s here and we are so in love.”
“I did not know it’d be like this, but I literally held one leg of Campbell and the nurse held the other and we brought the baby into the world together,” Jett added. “It was incredible. I literally watched our daughter come out of Campbell into the world.”
“I had no idea it would be like that. It was an unforgettable experience that I will treasure forever, babe.”
“She’s perfect,” Campbell said as the video came to a close. “We love you so much.”
“Perfect mama and perfect daughter,” Jeff added.
Campbell and Jett arrived at the hospital on Monday to welcome their baby girl. Jett gifted Campbell an orange Hermès bag as a “push present,” according to a video posted on Campbell’s TikTok.
“My beautiful angel pie Pookie is preparing to give birth to our daughter,” Jett said in the clip. “And now it’s officially time for her push present.”
In a TikTok post earlier this year, Campbell revealed she had a “health scare” during her pregnancy, telling viewers that she hs been “going to the doctors more often with [her] pregnancy.”
“We had a little bit of a scare, and now I see a certain specialist,” she said. “I’m not going to go into too much detail. Everything is hopefully okay and the baby is healthy.”
The couple, who got married in 2018, have “always dreamed of” becoming parents, Campbell previously told People.
“Jett and I have been together for nine years, married for six, and I’m most excited to see him become a dad — I’ve thought about that since I met him,” she said.
