Pippa and her husband,James Matthews, share childrenArthur, 5,Grace, 3, andRose, 1, who are first cousins withPrince WilliamandKate Middleton’s children,Prince George,Princess CharlotteandPrince Louis.

Pippaconfirmed she was pregnant with her first childin 2018, one year after she and Matthewstied the knotat St. Mark’s Church in Englefield.

In a column for the U.K. supermarket monthlyWaitrose Kitchenmagazine — where she publicly confirmed her pregnancy news — Pippa shared that, unlike her sister, she did not suffer fromHyperemesis Gravidarum.

“I was lucky to pass the 12-week scan without suffering from morning sickness. That meant I was able to carry on as normal,” she wrote.

The mother of three spoke openly aboutstaying fit during pregnancy, incorporating various forms of exercise into her routine, including swimming and tennis.

“I’ve been a tennis fan since childhood, as a player and spectator, and have been keen tocontinue playing safely throughout my pregnancy,” she wrote inWaitrose Kitchen.

Although she has tackled serious athletic feats, including running marathons and skiing the world’s longest downhill race, Pippa opened up to fitness brandHOKAin 2021 about how her fitness priorities have changed since welcoming children.

“Running and fitness still form part of my weekly routine but not to the level it was before,” she said. “My running has been more after babies and toddlers than crossing finish lines, which I’m fine with — for now!”

Here is everything to know about Pippa Middleton’s three children and the private life she leads with them.

Pippa and Matthewswelcomed their first child, Arthur Michael William Matthews, on Oct. 15, 2018. He weighed 8 lbs., 9 oz., and was born at 1:58 p.m. local time in theLindo Wing of St. Mary’s Hospitalin London, where Princess Kate and Prince William welcomed their three children.

Arthur’s birth made the Prince and Princess of Wales (then known as the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge) an uncle and aunt for the first time. The pair released a statement the following day announcing that they were “thrilled” for the new family.

The newborn also became the fourth grandchild of Michael and Carole Middleton — and he shares a name with his grandfather.

Arthur’smiddle name, Michael, is both Pippa’s father’s name and the name of Matthews’ brother, whodied at age 22as he climbed Mount Everest in 1999.

Shortly after giving birth, Pippa shared that her son already shared her enjoyment of physical activity.

“Starting my son Arthur swimming at four months oldhas given him confidence and enjoyment in water,” she wrote inWaitrose Kitchenmagazine. “He’s now six months old, and swimming is one of our favorite activities. The exercise helps guarantee sound daytime sleeps, and the movement has improved his digestion.”

“Arthur burns lots of energy in this safe environment and learns many physical skills,” she said. “I have also noticed him building his confidence with each visit."

Upon entering toddlerhood, Pippa revealed that her son has taken to the great outdoors.

“Being such an active family has rubbed off on my son — he loves nothing more than running wild in the woods, parks and fields with our two dogs,” she wrote in her piece for HOKA.

Pippa and Matthews welcomed their second child andfirst daughter, Grace Elizabeth Jane, on March 15, 2021, at St. Mary’s Hospital in London. She was born at 4:22 a.m. local time and weighed 6 lbs., 7 oz.

Grace joined big brother Arthur, who was 2 at the time, and became Carole and Michael’s fifth grandchild.

Grace’s middle names honor both sets of grandmothers. Jane is in honor of Matthews’ mother, Jane Matthews, and Elizabeth pays tribute to Pippa’s mom, Carole Elizabeth Middleton. Elizabeth is also Kate’s middle name.

Carole was the first toconfirm that Pippa and Matthews were expecting their second child. During a December 2020 interview withGood Housekeeping U.K., she hinted at an impending arrival, saying, “I hope to see more of my family than I could last year, including, of course,my new grandchild.”
