In March of this year, Malin announced she had split up with her boyfriend, Jared, the father of her baby. In keeping with her trademark honesty, she said: " "I have always prided myself on being open and transparent on here, so I wanted to let you all know that myself and Jared are no longer together.

Malin welcomed Xaya (pronounced Zayah) on January 28.
The mum announced she was pregnant two years after the tragic loss of her daughter Consy. The star didn't post about the birth of Xaya until one month later, saying she had taken some time out to enjoy being in a "baby bubble".
