Maria Fowler welcomes first child

TOWIE star Maria Fowler has given birth to a baby girl.

Maria and her boyfriend Kelvin Batey were spotted leaving the hospital with the new addition to the family earlier this week.

The Only Way is Essex star, 26, gave birth to a baby girl on 25th September, with boyfriend Kelvin confirming the news on Twitter. He also announced their new daughter's gorgeous name, calling her Evie Paris Batey.

However, Kelvin also admitted that Maria had a tough time and called it a ‘complicated birth’. But, thankfully he confirmed that both mum and baby are all ok.

He tweeted: ‘Finally got my girls home after a complicated birth. So proud of the both of them and thankful things are ok now. Evie Paris Batey 25/9/16’.

Maria also retweeted the photos by OK Magazine which show the new mum smiling as she was leaving the hospital smiling with her new baby.

The couple announced the pregnancy earlier this year, with a completely adorable Mother’s Day tweet.

Sharing a photo of her and Kelvin wearing trainers with a tiny pair for the new baby in between, Maria said: ‘As its Mother's Day, @KelvinBatey555 and I are pleased to announce a new addition is on its way later this year.’

Completing the family picture, their miniature Daschund also made an appearance in the brilliant photo.

Professional BMX racer Kelvin also shared the same image, showing how excited he was to become a father, saying: ‘Really looking forward to finally filling these shoes later this year. So happy and proud of @MariaFowler.'

The pair have since been sharing their pregnancy journey on social media, including when Maria was diagnosed with Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction (SPD) which made it hard to walk.

We hope the new family are all doing well and send a big congratulations to the new parents!
