A star of The Apprentice has said that ‘nothing prepares you’ for fatherhood after becoming a dad for the first time at 50.
Tre Lowe, who reached the interview stage of the BBC business reality competition in 2024, shared the news of his baby’s imminent arrival in November.
He first became known to the British public in 2000 when his UK garage group Architechs landed a number three hit with debut single Body Groove.
After impressing Lord Alan Sugar throughout The Apprentice last year, Tre almost made it to the end, but the series was eventually won by Rachel Woolford.
Following his time on the BBC show, during which he gained many new fans, he revealed that he and his wife Enas Daeki, 34, were expecting their first child together.

‘And just like that, I’m a father. There’s nothing that prepares you for this moment,’ he wrote in his caption.
‘No book, no podcast, no advice. Just you, your son, and a whole new frequency of love.
‘Real talk – the road to get here hasn’t been easy. It’s been full of plot twists, growing pains, and challenging moments. But every single one shaped me. Broke me open. Built something real. Something solid.’
He continued: ‘Now I look at my son and everything makes sense. My mission. My why.
‘To everyone who’s walked with me, held space – I see you. I thank you. I love you.’
‘And to my son…I’ve got you. Through everything,’ he wrote in his caption. (Picture: Instagram)
Tre then turned his loving focus onto his wife: ‘To my wife Enas – you are power, beauty, grace and grit. What you’ve done, what you’ve carried, what you’ve become. I’m in awe.
‘And to my son… I’ve got you. Through everything. Through the madness and the magic. From now till my last breath – I’ve got you. The next chapter begins now. Let’s get it.’
In the replies, Tre and Enas received comments of love from many friends and family, including Mis-Teeq’s Su-Elise and 2022 Apprentice winner Harpreet Kaur.
Harpreet said, ‘Congratulations! Beautiful!’ while Su-Elise commented, ‘Huge congratulations to you both. Love you guys. We’re just so happy for you! Welcome to parenthood.’

Tre and Enas, who are based in the Notting Hill area of London, tied the knot in 2023, shortly before Tre began his run on The Apprentice.
Speaking to MailOnline after his stint, Tre said that his then-unborn son would be in safe hands if Lord Sugar ended up being his godfather.
‘If anything happened to me. I know my kid is going to be all right. If Lord Sugar was the godparent, can you imagine the wisdom that kid would have.’
He added: ‘If I could add Lord Sugar to the mix of [my family], my kid would be sorted. I mean, it would have the creativity of me, so that side would be sorted, and it would have the entrepreneurial side from Lord Sugar.’
The Apprentice is available to watch on BBC iPlayer.
