TOWIE star Tom Pearce has just welcomed his first child with his wife, revealing the exciting news in an adorable update shared on Friday. The former reality TV personality, 35, who shot to fame on ITV’s The Only Way is Essex in 2012, posted heartwarming photos with his newborn daughter and proudly announced her sweet name.
Tom, who left TOWIE in 2014 and moved to Dubai to focus on his career, shared a series of intimate snaps on his Instagram account. In one touching photo, Tom posed alongside his wife as she cradled their newborn daughter, Ariella Lua, with a big smile on his face.
“Welcome to the world, Ariella Lua Pearce… you have our hearts,” Tom wrote in the post. “Couldn’t be more proud of my lovely wife for growing our beautiful girl. 22/04/2026.”
In another tender shot, Tom’s wife, whose name has not been revealed, is seen lying in a hospital bed surrounded by soft pink balloons, a picture-perfect moment that captured the joy of welcoming their little girl into the world.
The couple’s announcement quickly sparked a flood of congratulatory comments, with Tom’s former TOWIE co-stars, including Ferne McCann, Diags, James Lock, and Chloe Simms, all sending their best wishes.
Tom first gained attention on TOWIE for his close friendship with Joey Essex and his brief on-off relationship with Lucy Mecklenburgh. However, after leaving the show, Tom relocated to Dubai to focus on his work as an equity broker.
In 2022, he made headlines again when he got engaged to his then-partner Rebecca Walker following a romantic proposal in Bali. Sadly, it was revealed in 2025 that Tom and Rebecca had quietly split, though Tom has since moved on and continues to live a more private life.
Now, with his new baby daughter in his arms, Tom has clearly found joy in his new chapter. He and his wife are clearly over the moon with the arrival of Ariella Lua, and their fans are eagerly sharing in the happiness.
The post, which included photos of their joyous moment in the hospital, received an outpouring of love from Tom’s followers, and it’s clear that the family’s new journey has touched the hearts of many.
