It’s 8am and little Leo Swan Saville, all tumbling brown curls and blue eyes, can barely contain his excitement. Tugging at our sleeves, the two-and-a-half-year-old bundle of energy pulls us into the living room to show off his latest pride and joy. “New baby, new baby!” Leo exclaims, his face lighting up as he wiggles a finger at the newborn sleeping peacefully in the arms of his mother, The Circle co-host Chrissie Swan.
“His name is Kit, but Leo often just calls him ‘New Baby’,” explains Chris Saville, the boys’ father and Chrissie’s partner of four years. “Leo’s been so beautiful with Kit,” Chrissie says, smiling. “He loves having him in the house and always wants to hug and kiss him.” Breezing through her pregnancy, Chrissie gave birth to Kit at 39 weeks by C-section. The operation couldn’t have gone more smoothly.
