Nicola Roberts, 40, has secretly welcomed her first child, a daughter, with fiancé Mitch Hahn, the Girls Aloud star revealed on Sunday via Instagram. The singer shared heartwarming snaps of herself cradling the newborn, showing the joy and relief after a challenging pregnancy that required surgery at 22 weeks to keep the baby safe.
“Our beautiful baby girl is here. We haven’t stopped staring at her perfect little face or kissing her softest little head,” Nicola wrote. She confirmed the baby arrived healthy and content at 38 weeks, weighing 6.5lbs. “It’s heaven on earth with her and we can hardly believe she’s ours,” she added.
The proud father, Mitch, 37, was captured leaving the hospital with their baby daughter, joining Nicola in celebrating this special moment. Fans and celebrities quickly flooded the comments with congratulations — including Jess Wright and Katie Piper, who shared heartfelt messages.
Nicola, who became the last of her Girls Aloud bandmates to become a mum, faced a particularly difficult pregnancy. In January, she had surgery that required her to pause her West End performances in Hadestown, where she starred as Persephone, and she was ordered to rest for the final trimester. Despite the challenges, she remained glowing in her announcement.
Earlier, Nicola revealed her pregnancy to family on Christmas Day, sharing her joy and excitement over the five-month secret. Nicola and Mitch became engaged in July 2024 during a romantic holiday in the south of France, with the pop star showing off her dazzling diamond ring at Brighton Pride last summer.
Nicola’s celebrity friends celebrated the news, and she also recently reunited with Girls Aloud bandmate Kimberley Walsh for a Bridgerton-themed baby shower, attended by other stars including Laura Whitmore, who shared in the excitement of welcoming new children.
The couple, who have been together for several years, have faced challenges in the past, with Nicola surviving a difficult period of online harassment after a previous relationship ended. Despite past hardships, the arrival of their daughter marks a joyful and hopeful new chapter for the couple.
