Gladiators performer Steel, whose real name is Zack George, announces the birth of a baby boy with his wife Samantha. Multiple outlets report that the couple’s new son is born about 14 months after the death of their previous child, a premature son named Leo. The reports say Leo was born at 23 weeks’ gestation on 26 March 2025 and died on 7 April 2025. In the latest announcement, Steel shares that he and Samantha have welcomed another baby boy, and some coverage names him Otis. Several accounts also describe Steel saying he is “honoured” by the way he links the new baby to Leo, including giving the newborn a middle name that reflects their late son. While outlets differ slightly in how they frame the emotional message, they agree on the core timeline: Leo dies following a premature birth in 2025, and the couple later welcomes a new son in 14 months, with Steel publicly sharing details and photographs.
