Laura Woods paid an emotional tribute to her boyfriend, Adam Collard, thanking him for being her support and helping her maintain her confidence.
The couple, who publicly confirmed their relationship in October 2023, welcomed their first child, a son named Leo, in January.
Balancing the demands of motherhood with her busy career has, at times, been challenging for Woods.
However, Collard appears to have significantly eased this transition for the TNT Sports broadcaster. She praised the former Love Island star on her Instagram story.
In a series of Instagram posts featuring videos of Collard and Leo, Woods wrote: “I don`t always praise him publicly because he knows how I feel about him.
“But for a moment, I just want to say how proud I am of him.
“And how my heart bursts watching him be a dad to Leo and how incredibly good he is at it.”
Woods also openly expressed her gratitude to Collard, a personal trainer, for helping her maintain her body confidence during and after her pregnancy.
Sharing a photo of herself in the gym from before her pregnancy, she wrote: “And how much he`s helped me go from this pre-pregnancy stage, through nine months of growth, and into the postnatal period, reaching a place that feels much more like `me`.”
“Gently, gently, with immense love and support, he never let me or my body feel any less attractive than the day we met.”

Woods returned to television in late April, covering the first leg of the Champions League semi-final between Inter Milan and Barcelona.
Collard expressed immense pride in Woods for returning to work after taking just over three months of maternity leave.
From his hospital bed, recovering from back surgery, he proudly shared a picture of Woods at work.
He wrote: “Now watching my girl from bed on her first day back.
“So proud of her returning to work after just 13 weeks.
“And I can`t tell you how much she`s been my rock throughout this entire injury, recovery process, and the past six months in general.”
