The Saturdays star Mollie King has given birth to her first child with fiancé Stuart Broad.
The 35-year-old singer announced the news of their new addition on social media this evening, just weeks on from going on maternity leave from her job at Radio 1.
"Welcome to the world Annabella Broad. We have never been so in love," the new mum wrote as she shared snaps of her newborn with her Instagram followers.
"YEAAAAH [love-heart eyes emoji," Mollie's Radio 1 collegue Clara Amfo commented underneath the star's announcement.
"How awesome! Congrats," Stuart's cricket pal Kevin Pietersen wrote, as Gemma Atkinson added: "Ahhh Mollie!!! Congratulations."
In the sweet images, shared by both Mollie and Stuart, the new parents can be seen enjoying a day out with their baby daughter looking cosy in a fluffy white onesie by a river.
At the end of last month, Mollie shared an emotional post with her Instagram followers as she gave fans a glimpse of her huge baby bump and signed off on maternity leave.
"I can’t wait to show them to our little one when she is old enough and these pictures will be such a lovely memory of my pregnancy now that I’m in the last few weeks," the singer-turned-presenter said of the adorable snaps.
She went on to add: "Today is officially my first day of maternity leave - it feels like it’s flown by but my body is wanting me to rest now! It’s definitely telling me that all cooking and cleaning is off the cards, isn’t that right @stuartbroad."
"I really have turned into such a cliche though, I’m in full nesting mode, I’m finding things in the flat that haven’t needed doing for the last 10 years but of course need doing now," Mollie confessed as she asked her followers if they had any tips for essential purchases ahead of her daughter's birth.
After announcing Mollie's pregnancy earlier this year, the happy couple kept the sex of their unborn baby private for several weeks before hosting a sweet gender reveal.
Sharing a video of herself and Stuart popping a 'Boy or Girl' balloon together at the end of October, the All Fired Up singer told her Instagram followers: "For months our families have been predicting and guessing the gender of the baby but it’s been so lovely to have that just between us.
"Our due date is really creeping up now, we can’t believe how close it is, so last weekend felt like the right time to get everyone together and reveal it."
The birth comes after Stuart, 36, recently revealed they haven't managed to finalise a date for their wedding.
The couple got engaged in January last year and had hoped to tie the knot later that summer, but things didn't work out.
They reportedly felt things were too uncertain amid the Coronavirus pandemic and instead decided to delay their wedding, however, they are now finding it difficult to book a venue.
Stuart, who is part of the England cricket team, has said "everything is booked up" for the near future so they aren't expecting to get married until next year.
"It's obviously been a tricky time to plan a wedding. We were looking at trying to do it last summer but then it just felt too risky, that it might get cancelled," he told The Express.
Stuart added that they are having to "play a slight patience game at the moment."
When asked about a possible date, he said: "We haven't got as far as that but it's certainly at the forefront of our minds and it will happen at the beginning of next year."
Mollie and Stuart began dating in 2012 and were in an on-off relationship until they split in 2018.
They later rekindled their romance in 2019 and got engaged on New Year's Day last year.
