The coupe paid tribute to Nina's father, Thomas Flohr, with their son's first middle name, while "Constantinou" appears to honour Philippos' late father, Constantine II, the last king of Greece, who died in 2023.

The baby news came less than four months before the pair is set to celebrate their sixth wedding anniversary.
