UMVA has learned that Nicola Roberts, the 40-year-old Girls Aloud pop star, has secretly given birth to a baby girl just a couple of weeks ago.
The singer, who announced her pregnancy on Christmas Day, shared adorable photos of her newborn on Instagram, including a selfie of her sleeping on Nicola's chest and being carried out of the hospital by her dad, Mitch Hahn.
The new parents are overjoyed, and Nicola gushed about their little one, saying she's "healthy and content" and has already stolen their hearts with her "perfect little face" and "softest little head".
Nicola revealed that her baby girl weighed 6.5lbs at 38 weeks and is thriving, and the new parents are basking in the joy of their new addition, with Nicola writing that it's "heaven on earth" with their little one.
The pop star had previously shared that she had undergone surgery at 22 weeks to help keep the baby in, and had been keeping her pregnancy private, only revealing it to fans on Christmas Day when she was five months along.
Nicola's friends and fans have been flooding her with congratulations, including her Girls Aloud bandmates, who have been supporting her throughout her pregnancy.
Kimberley Walsh, Nadine Coyle, Cheryl, and other members of the group have been close since their Popstars: The Rivals days, and have remained supportive following the death of their beloved bandmate Sarah Harding in 2021.
Nicola, who has been dating Mitch since 2022, is now the fourth mum in the group, joining Kimberley, Nadine, and Cheryl, who have all built their own families in recent years.
The new parents are yet to reveal their baby girl's name, but it's clear that she's already bringing immense joy to their lives.
Nicola's pregnancy announcement came as a surprise to fans, but it's clear that she's been enjoying every moment of her journey to motherhood, and is now savoring the love and happiness that comes with it.
