Nicola Roberts<\/a> has become a mother for the first time. The former Girls Aloud<\/a> star, 40, shared the sweet news in an Instagram post on Sunday.<\/p>\n

She gushed: “Our beautiful baby girl is here. We haven\u2019t stopped staring at her perfect little face or kissing her softest little head.<\/p>\n

“She arrived healthy and content a couple of weeks ago at 38 weeks weighing 6.5lbs and is thriving. It\u2019s heaven on earth with her and we can hardly believe she\u2019s ours.”<\/p>\n

Nicola uploaded snaps of fiance Mitch Hahn proudly carrying his daughter in her travel chair as they left the hospital. She also shared a sweet image of her daughter’s tiny hand.<\/p>\n

Her moving post was met with huge amounts of love from Nicola’s famous pals. Among them was AJ Odudu<\/a> who wrote in capitals: “Congratulations, ” with a love heart emoji.<\/p>\n

Katie Piper also wrote: “So happy for you both,” while Jess Wright said: “Beautiful news – congratulations.”<\/p>\n

Nicola first announced she was expecting to become a mum five months ago on Christmas<\/a> day. The singer admitted she couldn’t wait at the time.<\/p>\n

She said in the festive social media post: “Mitch and I have had the most magical Christmas Day sharing the most precious news with our families.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve been keeping a secret. We are five months pregnant! We can\u2019t wait to meet our little one in the spring.”<\/p>\n

At 22 weeks pregnant, Nicola underwent surgery to “help keep her baby in”. In April, she posted a series of pictures from her week, where her full baby bump was on show.<\/p>\n

In the caption, she said: “Some pics I took this week.. Hasn\u2019t it been so nice to really feel spring..<\/p>\n

“I\u2019ve been under instruction not to do much since I had the surgery at 22 weeks to help keep baby in. Hitting that 34 week mark was a big relief.<\/p>\n

“I now only have a few weeks left. Safe to say, this last bit is not the easiest is it?! In one breath, it will be nice to feel more comfortable again but I will also really miss my bump and having this tiny little thing in there.”<\/p>\n

Nicola and Mitch have been dating for four years. They were first spotted together in June 2022 as they enjoyed an Elton John concert.<\/p>\n

Semi-professional footballer Mitch popped the proposal question to the star two years later. She was seen sporting a big oval diamond on her ring finger as she entertained the crowd at Brighton Pride in 2024.<\/p>\n

It’s thought Mitch popped the question while the couple were on holiday in the south of France<\/p>\n
