It’s a girl! Danielle Bux has given birth to a second daughter – and she announced the birth by sharing an adorable photo of her eldest daughter Ella, 15, holding hands with her new sibling.
Danielle, 38, posted the snap on Twitter and Instagram with the caption: “Sisters. Our baby girl has arrived Romy Wren Greenwald. A whopper, as expected. 8.3lbs. 8/8/17 [sic].”
It’s the first child for Danielle and her boyfriend, American lawyer Nate Greenwald. Danielle was previously married to Match of the Day presenter Gary Lineker, while her daughter Ella is from a previous relationship.
The Welsh-born actress gave birth in Cedars-Sinai hospital in Los Angeles, where celebrities including Kim Kardashian, Kourtney Kardashian, Kate Hudson, Victoria Beckham and Penelope Cruz also delivered their babies.

The hospital even shared their congratulations, writing on Instagram: “Welcome to the world baby Romy!”. Other friends wrote messages to Danielle including “Congratulations beautiful! I’m so happy for you!!!”
Danielle and Gary finalised their divorce in January 2016 after six years of marriage, but they remain on good terms. “They’ve got an exceptional friendship,” says a source. “It’s extraordinary.”
The actress moved to Los Angeles shortly after her split to concentrate on her acting career. She’s had roles in NBC crime drama Aquarius and film Curse of the Witching Tree.
She couldn’t have expected to find love so soon, but fell head over heels with Nate. They met when she moved in next door to him.
“She thought she might have missed her chance to have any more kids,” said a source.
“It’s nice because Gary never wanted to have kids with her. That was one of the reasons they broke up.”

When Danielle announced her pregnancy earlier this year, Gary was among the first to offer his congratulations.
“Gary couldn’t be happier for her,” says a source.
“He thinks Nate is a nice bloke and has been for dinner with them a few times. They all get on.”
Gary even helped Danielle when she was house-hunting.
