Georgia Kousoulou gives birth to baby daughter with co-star husband Tommy Mallett and reveals sweet name
GEORGIA Kousoulou and Tommy Mallett have welcomed their daughter into the world.
The pair – who are already parents to son Brody, three – shared the news on Instagram.
Georgia and Tommy posted a snap of the couple together with their baby girl while in hospital.
The couple shared their daughter’s name in the caption.
They wrote: “Introducing you .. GIGI Fordham born on 22.11 weighing 8 pound 12
“Our darling girl, we are so in love, our hearts could burst.
“Thank you god for answering our prayers.”
Many, including their former Towie co-stars, rushed to the comments section to congratulate the pair.
Saffron Lempriere said: “She is so cute look at her hair congratulations lovelies.”
“Chloe Meadows added: “Congratulations, so sweet xx.”
“Oh she’s too cute,” Courtney Green chimed in.
Amber Drowding wrote: “crying all over again!! Welcome to the world Gigi girl love you all so much xx.”
Back in September Georgia and Tommy – who started dating when they met on Towie in 2014 – revealed they were having a baby girl in September.
Taking to Instagram, Georgia shared four ultrasound scans of their upcoming arrival along with an adorable caption.
She wrote: “Our little girl. The first pictures we have actually been able to get as baby girl is breach with legs & arms infront of her face, her little hand under her chin.
“Thank you so much @pure.scan you are the best.”
Back in May Georgia and Tommy revealed that they were expecting their second child.
The couple shared their happy news after suffering a tragic miscarriage last year.
Alongside an emotional video today, Georgia told her fans she had undergone IVF to have her little girl, who will be born at the end of this year.
She wrote alongside it: “Our little rainbow baby due December.
“Words can’t express the emotions we have , we have prayed , wished & with a little help it’s happened…
“I can’t thank my team enough. Rehan salim you are the best ivf specialist – I’m so blessed we met you. & Michelle my amazing nurse who helped me every step of the way!
“These guys made my experience with ivf so much better than I could of even imagined .
“I was so scared as all the things I had heard beforehand but they were simply the best & held my hand the whole way through .thank you for giving us the best gift of all.
“To anyone watching who is suffering .. I am with you & i know how you feel. I pray this post doesn’t trigger you. I know how hard it is seeing announcements.”
Georgia added: “Please know you are not alone & please don’t give up hope.”
Last year the couple were left heartbroken when they went for their 12 week scan and were told about the rare chromosome disorder, called triploid syndrome, that meant their baby had no chance of survival.
The discovery left Georgia with the agony of having to undergo a termination – had she continued with the pregnancy, her baby would have been miscarried or stillborn.
Speaking about dealing with the news, Georgia previously said: “It’s a very hard thing to take in when someone says your baby isn’t going to survive, but you’re watching that same baby moving around.
“If there had been no heartbeat, it might have been easier to accept. I asked if it was my fault, or if there was anything I could have done differently.
“He said it was incredibly rare and nobody was to blame, but I couldn’t stop torturing myself.”
Georgia and Tommy, who secret wed last year, shot to fame on Towie over 10 years ago.
The pair left in 2021 and began filming their own show Baby Steps.
