Carly Zucker and Joe Cole Taking Parenting In Their Stride

Joe Cole and Carly Zucker Cole are taking being new parents in their stride.

The Coles look as though they have had a few sleepless nights lately thanks to their new baby daughter.

The good natured couple were spotted taking their daughter for a walk near their West London home yesterday.

The Chelsea player took charge of the pram, while his WAG, who was dressed in black jeans and a tight leather jacket, enjoyed some help with baby duty as she walked alongside.

The casual stroll was a definitely change of pace for Joe, 28, who scored the Blues’ opening goal in their 2-1 win at Manchester United on Saturday to send his team top of the table.

Meanwhile, Carly, 25, has put her career on hold to focus on motherhood.

She gave birth on March 18 at the Portland Hospital in London, following a 16-hour labour.

The couple initially considered calling the child Scarlett, and told media sources that was defnetely her name, but then they had second thoughts after her arrival. They are yet to publicly reveal her name.

Carly, a former personal trainer, said it was her husband of five months who was desperate to start a family.

She revealed before the birth: ‘He’d been telling me he wanted us to have a baby together from about nine months into our relationship, but I was only 18 when we met and just out of college.

‘I wanted to live a bit myself first and have a career. And ideally, I really wanted us to be married before we started a family.’
