Marco Pierre White Jr. has become a father for the first time.
The former ‘Big Brother’ contestant – son of famous chef Marco Pierre White – and his significant other welcomed daughter Arabella Rosa White into the world yesterday morning (14.11.19), weighing in at 7.4oz.
Speaking on Instagram Stories, he said: "I can’t believe it went so well. A really healthy baby, she’s beautiful.
"She’s absolutely gorgeous, she’s the most beautiful little girl in the world."
And the reality TV star thanked his fans for their well wishes.
He added: "I just want to say thank you to everyone for your congratulations.
"Everything went well, we are just recovering now.
"My missus is asleep, baby is healthy."
Marco hasn’t confirmed who his baby’s mother is, but the couple appeared to have already picked out the name for their little one months before she was born.In late July, Marco shared a picture of himself smooching his girlfriend’s baby bump and he added the caption: "My baby girl A.R.P.W. cant wait to welcome you into this beautiful world #babygirl (sic)"
Just days earlier, Marco announced he was going to be a dad.
He shared a picture of the scan, and captioned the image: "My father’s first grandchild. I am going to be a daddy to a baby girl."
In June 2016, Marco revealed he had split from his then-fiancée Kim Melville-Smith after his antics with Laura Carter on ‘Big Brother’.
He said: "The arrangement we had I was given a hall pass for BB. I was given a free pass to do anything I wanted … maybe I did push it too far.
"I’m in contact with her now. We’ll see how it goes. Just be friends for the moment."
