Giovanna Fletcher revealed the sweet meaning behind her youngest son’s name in an Instagram Q&A.
Giovanna Fletcher welcomed her third son with husband Tom back in August and she’s been documenting their busy life as a family-of-five closely on social media.
Always upfront about the struggles that motherhood, and parenthood more generally, can bring, Giovanna is loved by her Instagram followers for her honesty and regularly engages with them in the comments section of her posts or through Instagram videos and chats.
Given that the run up to Christmas is a frantic time for most households, Giovanna admitted that she might have taken her foot off the pedal over the weekend and treated her followers to a candid Q&A session to make up for it.
Posting on her Instagram story the mum-of-three simply said ‘ask me anything’ and many of her 1.1m followers posted in their questions.
One fan asked: ‘What made you pick Max for your last baby? I love it… xxx’.
Giovanna explained that her youngest son’s full name is actually Maxwell Mario Fletcher and it’s a sweet tribute to someone on Tom’s side of the family.
