We take a look at the celeb babies born so far this year

LUCY MECKLENBURGH AND RYAN THOMAS

Former Corrie star Ryan, 38, and fiancée Lucy, 31, expanded their family with the birth of daughter Lilah Rae. They already share two-year-old Roman, and Ryan has a daughter, Scarlett, from his relationship with fellow actor Tina O’brien. Lucy shared, ‘Nothing in the world beats that moment when you hold your baby for the first time… You experience this whole new kind of love, and they are your world. Nothing else really matters.’

NICOLA ADAMS AND ELLA BAIG

Olympian Nicola, 39, and Ella, 24, welcomed their first child after a fourth round of IVF. They used Nicola’s egg, fertilised via a sperm donor with similar traits to Ella, and Ella carried the baby. Nicola said, ‘My son being born is the most amazing thing that’s ever happened to me. I can’t even explain the feeling – I felt this instant love.’

SPENCER MATTHEWS AND VOGUE WILLIAMS

Made in Chelsea’s former bad boy, 34, and his model wife Vogue, 37, who already share Theodore, three, and Gigi, two, added to their brood, with Vogue saying: ‘Otto slotted in straight away. The kids love him. Theodore and Gigi love playing with each other and I think that Otto’s going to be another little member of their gang. It’s really lovely to see.’
