SOCIAL media star Zoella has announced the birth of her first child with boyfriend Alfie Deyes.
The Youtuber, real name Zoe Sugg, has taken to Instagram to announce the news to her nine million followers.
Baby Ottilie Rue Deyes was born on Sunday according to the post, her baby girl wearing a onesie and a bow headband.
The caption of the post reads ‘She’s here! Meet Ottilie Rue Deyes 29/08/21’. It already has over 750,000 likes and nearly 20,000 comments from well-wishers.
Her boyfriend, Alfie Deyes, also took to the platform to tell his followers the news. When Sugg announced her pregnancy in March she said her daughter would be due in September, making baby Ottilie a few days early.
She announced that she was pregnant with a video featuring footage of her ultrasound and a shot of her showing off her baby bump in the mirror.
The 31-year-old, who lived in Brighton but now in Hurstpierpoint, wrote: “We’re super excited to share with you, that our baby girl will be joining us in September.”
Deyes is also a social media influencer and he shared another video on his own Instagram account. It showed Sugg sitting on his lap and holding a strip of her ultrasound images.
The pair have been in a relationship since 2012 and Sugg first revealed they were dating in a blog post the following year.
They are reported to have been living together in Brighton since 2013.
Fellow internet personalities Caspar Lee, Tyler Oakley and Niomi Smart are among those who have shared their congratulations.
Reality stars Louise Thompson and Paige Turley have also congratulated the new parents.
Sugg – the older sister of fellow YouTuber and Strictly Come Dancing star Joe Sugg – found fame aged 19 with her fashion, beauty and lifestyle blog and YouTube channel, which currently has more than 11 million subscribers and almost one billion views.
