Daisy May Cooper is known for her comedic prowess and instantly recognisable name, but turns out that’s not her real name anymore.

The This Country star shared a throwback snap, celebrating the first birthday of her baby boy, Benji.

On her Instagram story, Daisy May, 38, posted a picture of the hospital board with her full legal name.

‘1 year ago today at 03.04am we welcomed our baby boy into the world,’ she wrote with ‘Thursday 6 6 2924’ written below.

Written clearly as the patient’s name was Daisy May Weston, the surname of her ex, Will Weston, who she wed in 2019.

It seems, while she uses her maiden name professionally, the Am I Being Unreasonable? actress has kept her ex’s last name.

The pair split in 2021 and she is now with Anthony Huggins, who is the father of little baby Benji.

She also has two other children; Pip, five, and Jack, three, from her relationship with Will.

Daisy May met Anthony on Hinge and are ‘madly in love’, with the star referring to him as her fiancé in February.

A source said: ‘Daisy and Anthony are madly in love with each other and are a success story for dating apps.

‘Their relationship has gone from strength to strength and already have a baby boy together.’

They added to The Sun: ‘It felt the natural step for them both, and their friends and family are made up for them.’

Daisy herself told Katie Price on the reality star’s podcast:  ‘I’m with the same guy I’ve been with for a year and he’s so f*****g good for me.

‘He’s so calming and it’s made me realise that I can actually be a f*****g good partner, if I have a nice partner in return, if he’s not trying to f*****g control me, or compete with me or put me down.’

Benji arrived early, in what Daisy called ‘a scary time’ with the tot believed to have spent some time in the NICU (neonatal intensive care ward).

The happy couple shared snaps of their newborn, one in Anthony’s arms and one in an incubator.

Cooper is Daisy May’s maiden name and her professional, working name, having risen to fame in mockumentary-style sitcom This Country with her brother Charlie Cooper.
