Nicola Adams and Ella Baig announce birth of son in sweet post

Nicola Adams and partner Ella Baig have announced the birth of their baby boy in an adorable post after an earlier miscarriage tragedy.

Both Olympic medallist Nicola, 39, and Ella, 24, shared the news on their Instagram pages earlier today, as well as on the account @babyadamsadventures they have been using to document their pregnancy journey. The picture showed the two mothers' hands with their new-born son's feet.

This comes after the couple shared earlier this year that their first few rounds of IVF had failed and Ella had sadly had a miscarriage. But they tried again, and now fans are congratulating the two on the news.

The post read: "We are so excited to announce to the world that @babyadamsadventures has arrived. The first moment we laid eyes on you we felt an instant love and the strongest bond.

"We went to the moon and back to get you and we can't wait to spend the rest of our lives watching you grow."

Nicola and Ella told Hello! magazine that their son arrived around 7am this morning, Monday, July 11. Nicola also shared a cute picture of her and Ella in hospital gowns on her Instagram account.

Fans and celebrities rushed to congratulate the new parents on the news.

@suzannecowen80 commented: "Congratulations to you both enjoy every minute xx," and @scouse_angie77 said: "Congratulations to you both let the adventures begin you will both be amazing parents".

Strictly professional dancer Johnannes Radebe and Radio 1 DJ and presenter Clara Amfo both said: "Congratulations!" to the happy couple.

"Ahhhh congratulations!!! Welcome to the world baby," musician Fleur East wrote.

After they announced they were expecting a baby in February and revealed their miscarriage, Nicola wrote in Vogue:: "We had two failed attempts in total. I was really upset.

"Of course, we knew that there was a chance of it being unsuccessful, but it's hard to see those two lines on a pregnancy test and feel elated before having that ripped from you just a few weeks later.

"I was also more upset for Ella as she was the one going through the process physically. You don’t really know what to say or do – you just have to be supportive."

The two have been sharing ultrasound and pregnancy snaps on Instagram throughout the pregnancy, where fans have been following along.
