Nicola Adams and her girlfriend Ella Baig have welcomed their first child.

The couple previously announced they were expecting a baby boy, and said they “felt and instant love and the strongest bond” after his arrival.

On Monday, the Olympic boxer posted a photo of her and Ella in the delivery room and a picture of their son’s feet.

Nicola wrote: “We are so excited to announce to the world that baby adams has arrived. The first moment we laid eyes on you we felt an instant love and the strongest bond.

“We went to the moon and back to get you and we can’t wait to spend the rest of our lives watching you grow.”

Nicola and Ella announced they were expecting a baby in February after four rounds of IVF starting in 2019.

The pair began dating after meeting on a night out in the Olympian’s hometown of Leeds.

In addition to her illustrious boxing career, Nicola made TV history in 2020 when she became the first celebrity to compete in Strictly Come Dancing as part of a same-sex pairing.

Unfortunately, she and Katya Jones had their Strictly journey cut short when the professional dancer tested positive for Covid.
