Girls Aloud star Nicola Roberts has announced she secretly welcomed her first child with her fiancé Mitch Hahn a ‘couple of weeks ago’.

The Jump hitmaker announced on social media on Sunday that she gave birth to a ‘beautiful baby girl’.

In a series of sweet snaps on her social media, the 40-year-old can be seen lovingly holding her newborn.

Nicola, who had to have surgery at 22 weeks to ‘keep the baby in’, was positively glowing, while another snap showed footballer Mitch, 37, leaving the hospital with their baby daughter.

She captioned the post: ‘Our beautiful baby girl is here. We haven’t stopped staring at her perfect little face or kissing her softest little head.

‘She arrived healthy and content a couple of weeks ago at 38 weeks weighing 6.5lbs and is thriving. It’s heaven on earth with her and we can hardly believe she’s ours’.

Nicola is the last of her Girls Aloud bandmates to become a mum, while Sarah Harding tragically died childless in 2021 following a battle with breast cancer aged just 39.

While Cheryl Cole shares son Bear, nine, with the late Liam Payne, Kimberley Walsh and husband Justin Scott are parents to sons Bobby, 11, seven-year-old Cole and and Nate, three. 

Nadine Coyle shares daughter Anaíya, 12, with longterm partner and former NFL player Jason Bell.

Nicola announced her pregnancy on Christmas Day and shared a gorgeous photo of her baby bump. 

Nicola penned: ‘Mitch and I have had the most magical Christmas Day sharing the most precious news with our families. 

‘We’ve been keeping a secret. We are five months pregnant! We can’t wait to meet our little one in the spring x’
