“Nothing prepares you for this moment in life but I am so overwhelmed with love and proud of Ella.
“We can’t wait to start this new chapter with baby Adams.”
Earlier this year, Nicola and Ella revealed they were expecting their first child after rounds of IVF.
Professional boxer Nicola said at the time: “I can’t wait for the baby to be born @ella.baig.”
In April, the couple shared the news that they were having a little boy.
Nicola told HELLO!: “It’s super cool. I’m excited, happy, nervous and just wondering what to expect. All my friends have boys, so I was like: ‘Yes!’ when I found out.”

Ella added at the time: “I think it’s safe to say the baby is a fighter.
“It’s definitely an active baby. From about 17 weeks I was feeling kicks and whenever we went for a scan – I don’t even know what it was doing – perhaps backflips. I can actually see it moving in my stomach right now.”
