Maeva D'Ascanio welcomes a baby boy

Maeva D'Ascanio has given birth to a baby boy.

The 'Made In Chelsea' star has taken to social media to announce the arrival of her first child with James Taylor.

Maeva wrote on Instagram: "Welcoming the last 9 months and 11 days into our lives this morning was everything and more than we could have ever hoped for.

"I’m so happy I’ve now met you my little roast. @jamestaylorldn is going to be the best daddy ever.

"Being induced on Sunday and trying to achieve a virginal birth from the outset wasn’t meant to be. We both decided along with the amazing doctors at the Rosie that a C section was the safest option to bring our boy to us.

"On Wednesday morning 30/11/2022 Beau Christian Taylor joined our growing family (9lbs 9oz!) (sic)"

Maeva also posted a video of herself in her hospital bed with her baby boy in her arms.

Maeva confirmed in May that she was expecting her first child with James.

The TV star also announced her engagement at the same time.

She wrote on Instagram: "I’m so excited to finally share all of the details about James’ surprise proposal, including a look at my gorgeous ring.

"P.S: We’ve also been hiding another secret... [baby bump emoji] (sic)"

Maeva also said: "All my dreams are coming true at the same time. I still don’t believe it!

"It’s all amazing - I just want to enjoy it all as much as I can."

James felt excited about becoming a dad, too.

He shared: "We are more excited every day. My dad told me that, when he had his first child, he never thought he could love something so much.

"And I’m starting to get an inkling of that feeling as this baby growing in Maeva’s tummy is pretty special."
