Sinclair gave birth to a baby girl two years ago. Lila was a bit jealous of the attention her younger sister got at first, but she adores her now. Both Jack and Sinclair are thrilled, and Lila has grown very close to her step-father, who picks her up from school every day. Since Jack is a Conservative Jew, and Sinclair was raised Protestant but isn't religious, they decided to raise their daughter as Jewish, and she underwent conversion.

Jack and Sinclair's daughter has a floral first name, and her middle name is an unusual name from the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament).

Edward's novel has sold fantastically, and a film adaptation is being considered. The couple has decided to adopt three children - four years ago, a newborn boy whose mother was unable to raise him, and two years ago, a one-year-old boy and his infant sister. Since both of them work from home - Edward working on a sequel to his best-seller, and Alec sculpting - they spend a lot of time with their children, and are fantastic parents.

Edward and Alec's older son has a first name that is at least four syllables long, his first middle name honours a famous writer, and his second middle name is unisex, but used more often on girls. Their younger son's first name is one syllable long, his first middle name starts with c, and his second middle name sounds posh. Their daughter's first name is two syllables long, her first middle name honours a famous historical queen (from any nationality), and her second middle name is an "old lady name".
