The former Little Mix star, 32, shared the joyful news on Instagram this afternoon, posting an intimate black-and-white photograph showing the newborn resting on her chest.
Both parents can be seen cradling their baby girl, named Alanis Valentine, in the touching image.

The arrival comes after the singer announced her pregnancy back in September, sharing a video featuring her son kissing her growing bump.
The newborn joins older brother Axel, who turned four last year, completing the family of four.
Ms Edwards and Mr Oxlade-Chamberlain have been together since 2017, with the footballer proposing during a romantic beach sunset in June 2022.
The former England midfielder, also 32, currently plays for Turkish club Besiktas, having previously represented both Arsenal and Liverpool during his Premier League career.
Ms Edwards's engagement ring features a striking oval diamond set on a yellow gold band.
The couple first revealed they were expecting again in September 2025, with a playful video referencing Edwards's single If He Wanted To He Would.
The announcement quickly drew an outpouring of support from famous friends and former bandmates.
Leigh-Anne Pinnock commented: "Perfect little angel," whilst Jade Thirlwall wrote: "So happy for you all, and can't wait to meet her."
Girls Aloud's Kimberley Walsh added: "The best news, so happy for you all."
Singer Pixie Lott offered her congratulations, describing the moment as "so beautiful."
Scottish singer-songwriter Nina Nesbitt praised the name choice, commenting: "Alanis! How beautiful, huge congratulations to you both."

Former N-Dubz star Tulisa Contostavlos was also among those sending well wishes to the new parents.
The path to welcoming Alanis Valentine has been marked by profound heartbreak for Ms Edwards.
The singer has spoken openly about suffering two miscarriages, one before Axel's birth in August 2021 and another afterwards.
The second loss proved particularly devastating, occurring at 24 weeks when doctors could no longer detect a heartbeat.
Speaking on Paul C Brunson's We Need To Talk podcast, Ms Edwards recalled: "I remember sobbing. I couldn't see straight. I was just distraught."
She described how her body continued preparing for motherhood despite the tragedy, with her milk coming in days after the loss.
"My body was prepared for the baby. But the baby was gone," she said.
Ms Edwards rose to prominence after winning The X Factor in 2011 as part of Little Mix alongside Ms Pinnock, Ms Thirlwall and Jesy Nelson.
The group achieved remarkable success, scoring five UK number one singles and a chart-topping album with hits including Black Magic, Shout Out To My Ex and Wings.
Following Ms Nelson's departure in December 2020, the trio continued performing until announcing their hiatus in 2022.
Ms Edwards has since embarked on a solo career under the stage name Perrie, releasing tracks such as Forget About Us, Tears and You Go Your Way.
The name Alanis may hold special significance, as Ms Edwards has previously expressed her admiration for Canadian artist Alanis Morissette, performing her hit You Oughta Know during her original X Factor audition.
