Happy baby news alert! Love Island winners Cara de la Hoyde and Nathan Massey have welcomed their first child!
Former circus performer Cara, 26, gave birth to a baby boy on Wednesday morning, her representative confirmed to OK! magazine.
Congrats!
Cara also shared the news on Twitter, simply posting two emojis: a woman cradling a baby and a blue heart.
She was inundated with congratulatory messages from fans and friends, including fellow islander Olivia Buckland, thrilled that another Love Island baby has arrived in the world.

The couple have yet to reveal their little boy’s name, but in an interview with OK! magazine earlier this year, Cara and Nathan said they like traditional baby names like Archie.
However, Cara added: “Archie and Alfie have been done so much. We’re not naming him after food or a place, he’s going to have a strong name.”
Cara and Nathan met on the second series of Love Island back in 2016, and went on to scoop the grand prize of £50,000
However, they split less than a year later, before Cara then confirmed the following month that she was pregnant with Nathan’s child.
But, in lovely news just before Christmas, the reality stars reconciled their differences, confirming last month they were back together and excited about welcoming their baby into the world.
They confirmed their reunion with a cute loved-up selfie posted to Instagram, which Cara captioned: “The rumours are true. Hands off he’s mine.”
Nathan shared the same snap to his own account, telling fans: “To squash all the rumours me and Cara are back together and stronger than ever!!! Right before Xmas.”
Aww!
Cara and Nathan had already revealed the sex of their baby earlier this year, saying they were thrilled as they’d always wanted a little boy.
Speaking to OK! magazine, Cara said: “I’m not very girlie so I’d rather have a little boy who’ll get all muddy than a little princess. I’m a bit more rough and ready. Now we know the sex, it’s so much more real.”
They are the second Love Island couple to have a baby: Luis Morrison and Cally-Jane Beech welcomed daughter Vienna in May.
In a funny twist, just hours before giving birth, Cara had shared her excitement at watching Ferne McCann’s new ITVBe documentary about pregnancy.
And in a recent interview with Closer magazine, she said she’d love to follow in the footsteps of stars like Ferne, Sam Faiers and Binky Felstead who have documented motherhood on camera.
“Sam and Binky’s shows are wonderful but Nathan and I wouldn’t be going to Beverly Hills or dining in Harrods, it’s all a bit fancy!” she said.

“I think a lot of couples would be able to relate to us as we’re so normal.
“I’ve always wanted to be a mum, so it feels like a dream come true.”
Congrats!
