Tom Grennan has revealed the challenges he has encountered since becoming a father earlier this year, just days after breaking news that he had given birth to a secret daughter.
After welcoming his daughter Dorothy earlier this year, Tom Grennan claims he had a difficult time finding his place in the family. He now feels more at home with the family. The phrase “the baby actually doesn’t need me at all, this baby needs mum” really stuck in my head.
“But then mum needs me, I need to be there just supporting and doing as much as I can. You don’t want to feel jealous of the fact that the baby wants what she wants, it’s more, it’s not jealousy, it’s just, ‘I’m useless right now’,” said the pop star, 30, who welcomed the new arrival with his Pilates teacher wife Danniella Carraturo.
“I’m third wheeling big time. I can’t feed her, I can’t do anything really, apart from just be really supportive with Danniella,” added Tom on his BBC podcast, You About?.

Supporting Danniella – who he met in 2020 and married last year -has become a priority more than ever for Tom now, who admits that seeing her giving birth has given him a new perspective.
“Daniella was all I was concerned about when I was in the labor ward.” But she shattered it. And I believe that watching a woman give birth is on a different level, man. You’re like, “Wow, you’re super human,” you think just after seeing it. But he told Roman Kemp, the host, that it was so moving, to be honest.
Despite becoming a dad earlier in the summer, The Little Bit Of Love singer chose not to announce the news until 22 August, when he shared a picture of Dorothy – nicknamed Dottie – to Instagram.
Words will never suffice to express the gratitude I feel for the young man who never thought he’d make it to three consecutive number one albums and joining an illustrious club like The Beatles and Oasis.
The best gift I could ever hope to receive is the opportunity to become a father at the same time. Being a father gave me everything, but music gave me a purpose. The past gave me strength, the present gave me strength, and the future I aspires to.
He concluded, “I really couldn’t do it without you all, thank you so much for once more making my dreams come true.”
“The upcoming tour in September will be amazing to see so many of you. We are just beginning, so I’m really looking forward to what’s in store.
Tom has now stated, “I think we wanted to have the first few months with it just being our news and our families and friends,” in response to his decision to not disclose Dorothy’s birth earlier.
“And now I’ve entered this new chapter of my life, and it’s beautiful,” Tom said, adding that it was also very “scary.”
