Does Jesse Bradford have kids?
Yes, Bradford and Watrouse welcomed their daughter, Magnolia (Maggie), in 2021. While they often post photos of her on social media, they always cover her face with an emoji or make sure she is turned away from the camera to maintain her privacy.
Watrouse shared her birth story on Instagram. “I had been planning on a home water birth but our plans changed. I labored at home for 19+ hours when my Midwife made the call that I should be transferred to the hospital because baby’s heart was struggling with the contractions,” she shared. “At the hospital I received an epidural and pitocin to try and speed up labor. Again baby’s heart struggled with contractions. My doctor then recommended a C section. 30 hours of labor and a C section later our baby girl entered the world.”
After Maggie’s birth, Bradford wrote on his own social media page, “Meet Maggie. Born May 29th, 2021. The day after her daddy. Feeling so lucky to say that our new family is happy and healthy. And super grateful for @lamidwifeabby @ccmeyer @drsteverad & the post Partum nurses at @cedarssinai 💜.”
