Ritchie wrote:
Natasha and Richie first got together when their bands, Atomic Kitten and 5ive, both took part in the first series of ‘The Big Reunion’ last year.
She confirmed her baby joy in an interview with OK! back in April, describing her pregnancy as a “complete miracle” to the magazine.
It was thought earlier this month that Natasha had gone into labour, after experiencing contractions during her friend and bandmate Kerry Katona’s wedding, having to take herself off to hospital before the speeches had even been made.
However, the singer’s spokesperson later confirmed that it had been a false alarm, adding: “She's under the watchful eye of her midwife and they've got the hospital bag ready and packed!"
Natasha’s newest arrival is Ritchie’s first child and her fourth, she already has three sons from a previous relationship.
Meanwhile, this isn’t the first baby joy Atomic Kitten has had in 2014, after Kerry Katonagave birth to her daughter Dylan-Jorge Rose, to her new husband George Kay, in April.
