Charlotte Crosby gives birth: Star welcomes first child with boyfriend Jake Ankers

2022-10-15

Charlotte Crosby has welcomed her first child, a baby girl, with boyfriend Jake Ankers.

Charlotte's dad Gary announced the happy news on Twitter earlier this morning.

He proudly wrote on his Twitter handle, TheDiddyMan1: "So, officially a grand father! Little girl, all is well. Excited for the new chapter in our little family."

Fans were delighted by the news as one person wrote underneath: "Ahhhh congratulations to Charlotte!! Amazing news."

Another said: "Great news and huge congratulations. Hope mother and baby are well x."

It comes days after Charlotte enjoyed her “very last date night before parenthood” with Jake.

Sharing a string of snaps to Instagram on earlier this week, Charlotte looked glowing as she showcased her blossoming bump while sitting down for a swanky meal at The Shard in London.

She said: "OUR VERY LAST DATE NIGHT BEFORE PARENTHOOD

"Can I have some appreciation for the heels please 39 weeks and literally still in the heels what a gorgeous surprise THANKYOU jake for just absolutely everything! I love you so much ready for this next adventure/ chapter with you and our baba!

"We gunna be the little A team with such an amazing man by our sides."

Charlotte previously revealed her plans to welcome her baby by C-section after her ectopic pregnancy in 2016 left her with PTSD.

She told us: "I've never really been keen to push a baby out of my vagina. I'm too scared to have a natural birth.

'"There's always been something scary about it for me and when I had the ectopic pregnancy [in 2016] it scared me even more.

"Because I went through that horrendous time where I almost died, I know how things can go drastically wrong."

Charlotte first announced her pregnancy in April as she shared a montage video on Instagram.

She wrote alongside the post: “A moment I wasn’t sure would ever be mine Is here, it’s mine (and Jakes) and i couldn’t be happier to be sharing it with you all……Im having a baby.”

Opening up about how she found the pregnancy, Charlotte previously complained to her followers that she was getting up in the night “64 times to wee” and “12 times to swap sides because of hip pain”.

Charlotte also said she was suffering from vagina pain and explained how she’d nearly choked in her sleep due to an “intense heartburny sick” that had caused her to “wake up in fear”.

At the time, a source close to the star confirmed she was not having a great time, telling us: “There’s just a few weeks until Charlotte’s due date and she’s starting to really feel it – she finds it so hard to get comfortable and is really struggling with heartburn.”

Charlotte showed fans she wasn’t in the best of moods on TikTok when she posted: “Pregnancy bump update. I am now ‘Get this f***ing baby out of me’ weeks pregnant. My main symptom is bitch.”

Charlotte made her romance with Jake public in January following her split from boyfriend Liam Beaumont last summer.
