Molly-Mae Hague has said that becoming a mother is 'the best thing that's ever happened' to her.

The former Love Island star, 23, confirmed the birth of her baby girl on Monday evening after a week of radio silence on social media.

Proud parents Molly-Mae and Tommy welcomed their little bundle of joy on January 23, and the pair are feeling 'so blessed' after their little girl came into the world safely, bringing them more love and happiness than they have ever known.

In a gushing Instagram post, Molly-Mae lovingly confessed that her daughter is the best thing that has ever happened to her.

In the adorable image posted on her Stories, Molly-Mae could be seen cuddling her little girl as she gushed over how much love she has for her newborn daughter.

"One-week old day. I can't believe we get to keep you forever. Becoming your mum has been the best thing to ever happen to me - it doesn't seem possible but my love for you grows with each passing moment," the proud mum penned.

"There is no feeling like holding you in my arms little one. My heart literally explodes.

"Thank you for entering this world safely for us and for blessing us with the gift of being your parents. We promise to love and care for you unconditionally, forever."

Molly-Mae also shared a black-and-white post of Tommy napping as their baby slept on his chest.

One photo showed the pair posing for the camera while Molly was still dressed in her hospital gown.

The new mum has yet to share her daughter's unusual name after previously admitting that she knows 'everyone will hate it' as she continues to keep fans guessing.

She previously said: "It's not made up, it's totally not made up, I can't explain it. It's just not a name that's ever been used before. It's very very different and rare and you're either going to love it or hate it."

"I've had the name picked out since I was a baby girl myself. It's always been a dream baby girl name and luckily when I met Tommy and I told him the name I've always dreamt of using, he absolutely loved it too.

"It's a really really unusual and a different name, I do not know anybody else with the name. I've not seen any other girls with the name before, it's that different."

Speaking to The Mirror, Molly-Mae's representative said she and Tommy are both feeling 'so blessed' to have welcomed their little girl.

"Molly and Tommy feel so blessed to have welcomed a healthy baby girl in to their family on the 23rd of January 2023," they said.

"They are enjoying every moment. Molly and baby are both doing well."

Molly-Mae announced she was expecting the couple's first child in a sweet Instagram reveal in September.

Later, the couple revealed they were expecting a baby girl as they shared a video of their gender reveal.

Just days after giving birth, Tommy's arch nemesis Jake Paul suggested on social media that the former Love Islanders had welcomed their daughter – leading fans to slam him for attempting to steal their baby's limelight.

Molly-Mae and Tommy fell head over heels with when they both appeared on the 2019 series of the ITV2 dating show and began their journey to becoming parents-to-be together.

The lovebirds dropped their baby bombshell in late September after keeping their pregnancy under wraps for almost six months.
