Mollie King has revealed her daughter's middle name after her father's heartbreaking death.
The Saturdays star, 35, sadly lost her dad just days after welcoming Annabella into the world.
Mollie told fans she'd been left "heartbroken beyond words" following her father's passing, but has chosen a name for her baby to give her strength.
The singer revealed she and her fiancé Stuart Broad, 36, have decided to call the tot Annabella Hope as the newborn "lit up our lives".
Alongside a snap in which she holds the tot in the air, Mollie wrote: "Annabella has given us lots of hope over these past few difficult months, so Hope had to be one of her middle names.
"She has been our ray of sunshine and I know she’s going to continue to light up our lives."
Taking to her Stories, the star also thanked her followers for their support while she comes to terms with the loss of her father, who died just month after being diagnosed with a brain tumour.
Alongside a picture of the pair, she wrote: "Thank you so much for all of your kind messages about my Dad passing away. It's been really comforting reading them. I can't begin to tell you how much it means that you've taken the time to get in touch.
"As I'm sure you can imagine, it's an incredibly sad time, and we're doing our best to pull together as a family to get through it.
"To anyone else who has lost a parent, I'm sending you so much love. It's a feeling unlike anything I've ever felt. I hope your loved ones have helped you find strength."
Mollie took to Instagram last week to tell fans her heartbreaking news.
Sharing the emotional post, she wrote: "Heartbroken beyond words. In August, my family’s world was shattered when my Dad was diagnosed with a brain tumour. Last week, we had to face the day we hoped would never come and say goodbye.
"Dad, we love you with all our hearts and we will miss you every single day. You have been our hero and it’s impossible to think of our lives without you.
"You have always been there for us with every step we’ve taken and you even held on a few extra days to meet baby Annabella.
"You gave us your everything. You will be in our hearts and our memories every single day."
