Una Healy has given birth to her first child with fiancé Ben Foden.
The Saturdays singer welcomed a 7lbs 13oz little girl with her rugby player beau today, and the pair have decided on a traditional Irish name of Aoife for the little girl.
While Aoife means beauty, the baby's middle name is Belle - the French adaptation of Ben's mother's name of Bell, which also means beautiful.
Ben announced the news on his Twitter page this afternoon by writing: 'I am officially a Dad!!!!!! Una an baby are both amazing and healthy!!!! So proud of them both! #babybenuna.'
Una's bandmate Vanessa White was quick to offer her congratulations, writing on her Twitter page: 'Congratulations @ben_foden @unahealy and baby! So happy!! Xxx'
Rochelle Wiseman then added: 'A beautiful girl has entered the world today and, I'm her aunty #blessed I'm so proud of @unahealy @ben_foden BIG love! Xx'
Mollie King wrote: 'Congratulations to my beautiful @unahealy and @ben_foden! I couldn't be more proud! What gorgeous parents u will make! I want to seeee her!'
Una has remained noticeably absent from Twitter over the past few days, sparking speculation among fans that she may have been in labour.
Her last tweet read: 'Just did a massive clear out in my bedroom... so much crap accumulates over the years, drawers full of it! #outwiththeold.'
Una and Ben revealed last year that they were expecting a little girl.
She said: ' 'I come from a family of girls, I went to an all-girls school and I'm in a girl band, so I guess it's fitting that I'm having a daughter.'
