The X Factor judges Robbie Williams and Ayda Field have welcomed their third child into the world, they have announced today.
The hitmaker’s wife revealed all in view of her 353,000 Instagram followers, saying they’d had a daughter via surrogate.
The 44-year-old and his spouse of eight years are already parents to Theodora Rose, five, and three-year-old Charlton Valentine.
Sharing a picture, the actress, 39, started her message: “I spy with my little eye an extra little hand.”
It has been a very long and difficult path to get here
Ayda continued: “So we have been keeping a very special secret! We are delighted to share with you that we have had a baby girl…”
The reality show regular revealed she and Robbie had decided on the name Colette (Coco) Josephine Williams.
Speaking about their journey to the birth, the mother-of-three stated: “It has been a very long and difficult path to get here, which is why we have kept it on the down low.
“Family comes in all forms, and this little lady, who is biologically ours, was carried by an incredible surrogate mother, to whom we will be eternally grateful.”
She added: “We are over the moon to have this beautiful baby girl in our lives and so blessed that we live in a world which makes this possible.
“As with Teddy and Charlie, we ask that you respect Coco’s privacy and allow us to grow into our new team of 5! #TeamWilliams.”
The upload saw Robbie’s tattooed hand alongside his partner’s, while their three children’s could also be seen.
They were soon inundated with congratulatory replies, with one user writing simple: “Beautiful news.”
Two others went on: “So happy for you all! I am crying. Happy tears! Ayda… your so matter of fact! Perfect! Congratulations,” and: “Mahoosive congratulations to you all… amazing news.”(sic)
A third person replied: “Wow congratulations to you all. What lovely news and welcome Coco Williams.”
The pair first became parents back in September 2012, when Teddy was born, followed by their only son two years and one month later.
