Purple Wiggle John Pearce has revealed that he and his wife Jessie have welcomed their first child into the world.
Taking to social media on December 18, 2024, the childrenโs entertainer revealed that their son was born two days earlier on December 16.
โHENRY NICHOLAS ADAMO PEARCE 16.12.24. Welcome to the world our beautiful angel. We have never felt a love like this,โ the couple captioned their announcement post.
Fellow Wiggles quickly jumped into the comments section to congratulate the couple, with Lucia writing: โcrying, absolutely crying. heโs already so lovedโ and her father Anthony writing โbeautiful boy welcome to the world! Congratulations Jesse and Johnny!โ
Simon Wiggle commented that he was โso happyโ for the pair while Caterina (who welcomed her own twin girls via IVF earlier this year) commented that Henry was a โgorgeous boy.โ

The update comes mere weeks after New Idea spoke exclusively with John on the red carpet of the Australian TikTok Awards for 2024, where he opened up about what he was looking forward to most about being a dad.
โIโm so excited. Itโs the only thing on my mind,โ an ecstatic John told us at the time.
Iโm counting down the days,โ he adds.
โI canโt wait to be a role model for my child.โ
When quizzed over whether he would be playing music from The Wiggles for his baby, he joked that while he โwouldnโt force him to listenโ it would be a โplusโ if he did.โ
โOne of his first songs will have to be โHot Potatoโ,โ he laughed.
The Purple Wiggle confirmed that he and his wife Jessie were expecting their first child together in June.
After rising to fame as a member of chart-topping music group Justice Crew, John joined The Wiggles as part of their expanded line-up in 2021.
With an impressive dance skill set, the father-to-be quickly became known for his moniker โBig Strong Johnโ as part of the iconic Aussie group, and regularly shows off his incredible dance skills (including frequent backflips) on social media (where he has gone viral on numerous occasions.)

And now, the 33-year-old is set to embark on the most exciting new chapter of his life yet โ fatherhood!
Taking to his Instagram to share the happy news on June 20th, John and his wife (whom he married in 2019) said they couldnโt wait to meet the newest addition to their family.
โIt has been a long journey but our beautiful angel has finally been sent to us. We are so full of joy,โ the husband and wife duo shared in their touching announcement post.
In the accompanying video, the couple shared several moments from the last few months, from when they found out they were expecting, to their first ultrasound, to their gender reveal where they learned they would be having a baby boy!

On the announcement post, the official Wiggles account shared their congratulations, writing that they were โall so happy to see The Wigglesโ family expanding.โ
โJohn and Jessie are a wonderful couple, and we canโt wait to welcome their baby into our Wiggles world. It will be a full house by Christmasโฆ.we may need to look at getting an even bigger Red Car!โ
The happy news came just months after Red Wiggle Caterina Mete confirmed she was expecting identical twin girls with the help of IVF earlier this year.

Taking to Instagram once more on June 21st, John and Jessie thanked their friends, family, and fans for the love that had been sent their way since they shared their baby news.
โWe just want to say thank you for all the positive and kind words, we canโt thank you all enough โบ๏ธ we are so excited to share this journey with you all and we canโt wait to finally be parents.โ
