Pete Doherty is a dad again as wife shares adorable snaps of baby girl

The Libertines star Pete Doherty has become a dad for the third time.

Pete's wife Katia de Vidas took to social media on Sunday to announce the happy news after giving birth to her first child with the rocker.

While Pete is already a dad to Astile, 19, from his relationship with singer Lisa Moorish and daughter Aisling, 11, with South African model Lindi Hingston.

Katia shared an adorable snap of the tot with a shock of black hair on Instagram yesterday along with a photo of her tiny identity bracelet, which read: "Bloc Obstétrical department. Doherty".

Pete, who lives in France with Katia, announced he would be a father again while performing at a gig in Strasbourg last December.

He also told French publication Society, he was forming a 'solid and protective clan' with Katia, which would become a unit of three.

Pete has been in a relationship with the musician since 2012. The couple got married at a French retreat in September 2021, two days after confirming their engagement.

Exchanging vows at the Domaine Saint Clair hotel in the French city of Etretat, the newlyweds posted a black and white snap of their big day on Instagram, simply captioned with their wedding date: "30.09.21," and a heart emoji.

In 2021, the Can't Stand Me Now star revealed he had been off of heroin for two and a half years.

Pete told BBC Scotland's The Seven programme: "I’m in recovery, I suppose.

"I’m two-and-a-half years clean of heroin, which is a big deal for me. And yeah, I’m ticking along. I’m writing music, still writing music, yeah."

The star has a string of famous exes, including supermodel Kate Moss.

Following a high-profile romance, the pair split in 2007 just months after Pete proposed.

The Babyshambles frontman also claimed he had a fling with Amy Winehouse before her tragic death in 2011.

Pete told the Mail on Sunday in 2012: "Amy and I were lovers. I loved her then and, well, I still do today."
