| Updated:

TV and radio star Sian Welby and her fiancé Jake Beckett recently shared the first photographs of their new baby girl.

Sian – a regular presenter on This Morning – revealed that she’d got engaged to her boyfriend Jake last August.

In February, Sian revealed she was pregnant live on air on Capital FM. “I think I wanna share something with the group right now actually, seriously guys, got a bit of an announcement for you… I’m pregnant!” she said.

“I don’t know how I’ve managed to keep it from you for this long, but I am, it’s not a joke!”

Now they’re officially a family of three. Sian appeared on Monday’s This Morning to gush over the “dream” news.

Sian Welby welcomes first baby

On June 29, This Morning presenter Sian looked the picture of happiness as she stepped out for the first time as a new mum.

Seen beaming in the pictures, Sian was pictured her carrying her newborn in a sling as she walked with fiancé Jake and their bundle of joy. Jake was also seen showing tender care for his little girl, as he adjusted the straps of the sling to make the tot more comfortable.

Sian looked stylish, comfy and casual in the pictures, wearing a navy tracksuit and trainers. The new parents were hand-in-hand as they took the tot for their first walk as a family of three.

After returning home, Sian shared three pictures of the new arrival. One showed the baby asleep in her crib. The next showed Sian holding her baby. And the third was Jake with his daughter. The couple also shared the little girl’s cute name.

“Our little Ruby,” said Sian, alongside the pictures.

Appearing on This Morning on July 1, Sian gushed: “Yes I’m tired, I’m delirious but it is the best thing I have ever done and I’m just absolutely over the moon.

“I’m in love, I’m loving every second despite it being absolute carnage at times.”

She gushed over the moment she first held her daughter, admitting it “feels like a dream”. Sian added that she underwent an emergency C-section. She said she felt “so safe” and gushed over the “incredible midwives”.

Sian said her partner Jake is “besotted” with his little girl. Speaking about choosing Ruby’s name, Sian said: “We found out the sex at the 20-week scan and it was one of those names that we said out loud, we both liked it and we were calling the bump Ruby from then so she was always Ruby.”

It’s a girl!

Sian recently revealed the baby’s sex as she signed off of Capital FM before her maternity leave.

She revealed: “Before I go off on baby leave I’ve decided I want to share one more thing with everyone. We are a family. And I have told my nearest and dearest what me and Jake are having. Because we did find out the sex…

“So I’ve decided as a huge thank you to all of you that have been on this journey with me, I’m gonna tell you what I’m having. It’s a girl!”

Congrats, Sian!
