Georgia Harrison, a reality TV star turned campaigner for women’s rights, speaks exclusively with her partner Jack Stacey about their 2026 plans for their child.
After the most “Christmassy Christmas” as a new mum, Georgia Harrison says she’s striding confidently into 2026, feeling like a totally different woman.
The reality star, who welcomed a beautiful baby girl, Sahara Jean, with her partner Jack Stacey in October, sees herself entering a new chapter, telling OK during an exclusive shoot that motherhood has changed her “in every way possible”.
“I have the capacity to feel more love, I have more of a purpose and I have more empathy for others”, she says. “I see people as a child, not just as people,” he said.

Following a hectic festive period, Georgia and Jack are now planning a cosy New Year ’s Eve dinner at a local Italian restaurant, before heading to Dubai for a much-needed holiday.
There will be plenty of babysitters on hand, jokes Georgia, because my dad, stepmum, and sister are also coming. The cutest thing you’ve ever seen is Sahara’s swimwear, which we can’t wait to buy.
Looking radiant — and not the faintest bit sleep-deprived – the former Love Island star, 30, says she was instantly smitten when their bundle of joy arrived on 30 October. “I fell in love with Sahara straight away,” she tells us. “I was so obsessed with her, and Jack was too.”
Weighing 6lb 7oz, Sahara was born a week early at Whipps Cross Hospital in East London. “It all went really well — hats off to the NHS, because they were brilliant,” Georgia recalls.
Although Jack, 33, kept her hand throughout, he is modest about his input. “I obviously did what I could, but it was all Georgia”, he says. She was amazing, and I had a much greater sense of fear. I couldn’t believe she even took a nap before giving birth.
Unsurprisingly, Sahara made her grand entrance, and the newlyweds were overcome with emotion. According to Jack, a property worker, “I was crying my eyes out.”
“We both cried”, jumps in ex-TOWIE star Georgia. Because many people don’t have an immediate bond, we had to say to each other, “Look, it’s OK if you don’t love the baby right away,” but it wasn’t at all for us.
Georgia claims Sahara is her baby’s dream child while chatting while giving her a bottle of wine. It’s been easier than I thought it would be”.
Despite this, it’s becoming difficult to get some shuteye. Georgia admits, “She slept through the night, but now she wakes every two hours.” “Everyone says this is the thick of it, and you’ve just got to power through. Thankfully, I drop off again as soon as she goes down, even though I’m tempted to sleep on the ground in the rain.
There is only so much Jack can do, Georgia says, “Unless he grows a pair of boobs,” because he is breastfeeding!
He’s enjoying his share of nappy changes though. He claims that it’s his favorite activity because he believes he is making a contribution. “I don’t even mind the awful nappies,” she said. The bigger, the better. I’m incredibly excited”!
The pair — who met on a dating app and only went public with their romance in January — chose not to discover Sahara’s sex before she was born. “It was a complete surprise,” Jack says. “I called it right on the day, though.”
Georgia was less sure, saying, “Loads of people told me they’d dreamt I was having a boy, and my Reiki woman said it was a boy, so I started mentally preparing myself for that”.
Georgia describes how they came up with the name “we wanted her to have a really different name, and it seemed perfect.” She can mean free spirit and her origins are Arabic, which is where she is very much. I liked the sound of ‘ Sahara Stacey ‘ as well”.
Incredibly, Sahara arrived just days after Georgia received her MBE from Prince William for services to tackling online privacy and cybercrime awareness.
She giggles, “I was just trying not to give birth at Windsor Castle.” “Although part of me sort of wanted to, just for the drama of it — and maybe the Insta content”!
Georgia received her award after reneging on her right to anonymity in a case involving the sharing of her secret sex tape online.
She’s now seen as a driving force behind moves to make revenge porn a criminal offence — and becoming a mother to Sahara has made her even more determined to use her voice. “It definitely makes me more passionate to think the work I do is helping make the world a safer place for her,” she says.
Meeting the future king didn’t quite go to plan, however. She reveals that she was thrilled when she learned that William had awarded her the MBE because she was a fan.
“But I almost hit the deck with my over-the-top theatrical curtsy.” I was this huge pregnant person in heels, arms spread-eagled and trying not to topple over. My family was shocked to learn that William had broken up.
She claims it was an honor to discuss her work with the prince. “I was shocked because he’d followed a lot of my experiences and said how brave I was”, she says. I’ll never forget the opportunity to speak with one of the world’s most significant people about the world’s transformation.
There has been a lot of change at her and Jack’s Essex home. “The nursery is the most amazing room now. Georgia chuckles, “We really went for it.” “I wanted to be prepared, so I had a rocking chair for nighttime feedings, and we had so many contraptions.”
They didn’t hold back for Sahara’s first Christmas, either. “We went all out, there are no two ways about it,” says Jack. “She’s not going to remember a thing, but it was the most Christmassy Christmas of all time.” Hilariously, one of Sahara’s stand-out presents was “a little Santa that farts out bubbles”.
Revealing that Jack cooked for 10 on the big day, Georgia says, “I was like, ‘I’ve done the heavy lifting for nine months. I’ll be doing nothing!’ Jack’s family came from the Isle of Wight, and mine were there too. It was so sweet, as everyone basically wanted to be with Sahara.”
They’re now planning to take Sahara on her first holiday to Dubai — assisted by their loved ones. Georgia grins as the grandparents accompany us so we can have some fun and head down to the pool bar.
They also enjoy a lot of encouragement, which is more local. “Georgia’s mum Nicola, who lives locally, is probably going to be like the third parent”, says Jack.
And lots of showbiz mates have rallied round the new parents too — including best pal Olivia Attwood, who starred in the 2017 series of Love Island with Georgia. “She sent us some Baby Dior outfits, which were the only thing that fit initially because Sahara was so small,” says Georgia.
“Loads of my reality friends have reached out too — Diags [James Bennewith], Arg [ James Argent ], and Sam Faiers, who sent a nice message saying how magical it’s going to be. Gemma Collins too — Sahara had a shoutout from The GC before she was even a month old.”
No stranger to online criticism, Georgia was recently targeted for using so-called “puppy pads” to lie Sahara on. She won’t let the kickback upset her, despite the claims that they may contain potentially harmful chemicals.
“Oh my God, the mum-shaming is intense. I haven’t posted much without getting things wrong, but honestly, I’d rather know about it,” she says. “Getting negative feedback can be tough, but as a first-time mum I’m still learning and if I’m doing something wrong I’ll change it. Nobody’s perfect.”
Though she and Jack hope to have more children one day, it won’t be for a while. The actress says, “We definitely want Sahara to have at least one sibling, but I also want to avoid being pregnant for a year.”
Georgia is now looking forward to getting back into the gym, when she can find the time. “I’m just relaxing at the moment, but in a few weeks I’ll get fit again. Not due to pressure from others, but because I’ve always been active. My pregnancy was the first time I’ve not gone to the gym five times a week, and I miss exercise so much. I can’t wait to get back into a fit and healthy lifestyle.”
Looking back on their whirlwind few weeks, Georgia believes she and Jack have grown closer. “You really do look at your partner in a completely different way once they’ve been by your side during childbirth,” she says. “It unlocks a new part of your relationship. At the start of this year, we were on a three-week trip across Colombia, now we’re obsessed with dirty nappies.
” It’s all been so quick, but we both know we’re the one for each other. We’ve been having the best time of our lives because, in my opinion, we’re soul mates.
