The Only Way is Essex alum Lauren Pope has announced she has given birth to her second child, a gorgeous baby girl.
The reality TV star, 39, - who appeared on TOWIE between 2010 and 2019 - took to Instagram on Saturday evening to share the news alongside a photo of her newborn daughter.
Lauren and her millionaire boyfriend Tony Keterman, 34, - who have been dating since 2019 - are already parents to daughter Raine Anais Keterman, who turns two in July.
Alongside an adorable photo of Raine and their baby daughter holding hands, Lauren wrote in her post: "Sisters. Welcome to the world our beautiful little Leni Star."
According to the Daily Mail, Lauren and her partner welcomed their second child earlier this week.
She had announced news of the more recent pregnancy on social media in February this year, with her having shared a mirror selfie that showcased her growing baby bump.
Lauren was seen wearing a figure-hugging jumper and some loose fitting jeans in the photo, which also featured her young daughter Raine and the family's dog Cookie.
The exciting news was confirmed in the caption of the post, with the model and TV personality teasing to her followers: "Another member to add to the squad... Coming soon."
At the time, she told MailOnline: "I'm feeling incredibly grateful to be pregnant with my second child." Lauren said that she was "thoroughly enjoying" being a mother.
Her first child, daughter Raine, was born on July 11, 2020. She announced her arrival on social media days later by posting two photos of the newborn following the birth.
One of them showed Lauren kissing her baby's forehead whilst partner Tony cradled her arm. The other showed Raine's tiny hand holding on to her mother's finger.

She had written alongside the snaps: "Our little lady has arrived! You really are so perfect little Raine, thank you for choosing me to be your Mummy. We love you so, so much."
The reality TV star later revealed that it had been a difficult birth, though she stated that it was "worth every bit" of the pain, tears and sickness that she endured through it.
Lauren has been in the public eye since the first series of TOWIE in 2010. She remained a cast member on the show until 2015, before returning again between 2017 and 2019.
She confirmed her departure from the ITVBe series in 2019, writing on social media: "After an amazing nine years on Towie I have decided that now is the natural time for me to say goodbye."
"I'll be forever grateful for their guidance and support over the years and the opportunities that have come my way from being a part of the family," she further commented.
Lauren said that she wanted to instead focus on "business ventures and [her] personal relationship." She thanked fans for their support and teased an "exciting next chapter."
