The sweet snap of Tate comes just a few weeks after Emma shared a rare photo of her eldest son Beau.

Emma posted a close-up snap of her posing with her firstborn, writing: “That smile!!!! @beaubunton___ you are the most special human being, our everything! You make us so proud and teach us so much everyday. Smart, funny, sensitive, affectionate and loyal! 13 today, I have a teenager!”

In March, Emma spoke about her struggles with working mum guilt as she juggles her career with her kids on the Not Another Mummy podcast, revealing how she often wonders whether she’s “doing the right thing.”

Discussing her feelings of guilt, she said: “As soon as your children are born, I didn’t realise I would get the strongest feeling of guilt. Am I doing the right thing all the time? Am I home enough? Am I at work enough?”

She added: “All those things go through your head but I love being a working mum. I love that my kids watch me have this work ethic.

“I work hard but I also do make sure that weekends are precious. I love watching my little boy play football, my other little boy goes to dance classes.

“If I can be there for the important things, the simple things, the bedtimes, the storytelling, the cuddles, the kisses. I am so lucky.”

In April however, Emma revealed that her Damage star beau Jade is ‘desperate’ for her to have another child.
