Teletubbies: Sun Baby Reveals They Are Expecting Their Own Baby

1990s kids, get ready to officially feel old. Jess Smith, the baby who was the Sun Baby on the British pre-school children's television program Teletubbies is officially having a baby of her own. Earlier this week, Smith, who portrayed the Sun Baby on the original Teletubbies series which debuted in 199, shared on Instagram that she is expecting her first child with her partner Ricky Latham. The child, a girl, is expected to arrive in January.

Teletubbies Previously Clarified That Sun Baby Did Not Have a BabyWhile Smith is starting a family of her own now, back in 2019, Teletubbies fans were surprised when a photo of Smith as an adult holding a baby went viral. That photo prompted the official Teletubbies Twitter account to set the record straight that the Sun Baby didn't have her own baby at that time.Instead, the photo was of Smith holding Berry, the baby taking over the role of Sun Baby for the Teletubbies revival series.
