First-time dad Tom Hollander, 56, spotted with newborn strapped to his chest

Tom Hollander grabbed lunch on the go with his little newborn strapped to his chest as he ran around London last week. 

The 56-year-old White Lotus star recently welcomed a baby, his first child, with long-term girlfriend and interior designer Fran Hickman, 39.

He appeared to have his hands full as he munched on a sandwich while toting around his little bundle in an Ergo Baby carrier. 

In his free hand, he gripped a white carrier bag and strolled around Notting Hill while sipping on an iced coffee. 

The Night Manager actor wore a white shirt which he tucked into brown trousers that were held up with a similarly coloured brown belt. 

He propped his black-framed reading glasses on top of his head as he strolled through his local neighbourhood. 


The star’s outing came after the Mail on Sunday revealed last August that Tom was ‘beyond thrilled’ to be welcoming a baby with his partner.

Tom was previously engaged to Fran however the couple’s relationship broke down in 2010 before they rekindled things during the pandemic.

The A-lister opened up about becoming a dad in the past and said in 2011: ‘I’d love to be a dad, it’s just that I’ve not managed to sort it out.’

When asked whether he was interested in settling down and starting a family, he replied: ‘Yes, of course. 

‘And I do occasionally think, “How have I managed not to settle down when I came from such a settled-down family?”’ 

Tom’s lunch date with his new addition followed a sighting of Fran while pregnant earlier this summer. 

The spotting of the star’s girlfriend’s pregnant belly while they were sat at a cafe confirmed the news of their impending arrival.


At the time, the creative wore a black and white plaid checkered shirt that flew open in the wind to reveal her bump that struggled against the waistband of her black sports leggings.

She added to her comfortable ensemble with some white plimsolls and tied her raven hair back from her makeup-free face in a messy bun.

Sitting on a white table outside the café, the couple appeared in good spirits and Tom consoled his partner as he was snapped with his hands gripping her hunched shoulders.
